Minnesota Occupational Safety & Health Standards

Did you know that Minnesota has several state-specific occupational safety and health standards above and beyond what is required by Federal OSHA? Federal OSHA permits states, when approved, to administer their own programs for the regulation of occupational health and safety provided they are “at least as effective” as Federal OSHA. Currently, Minnesota is one of 22 “state-plan” programs, and has adopted over 75 additional requirements that are more stringent than what is required by Federal OSHA. This course addresses BOTH General Industry and Construction requirements, and is intended for directors, managers, supervisors, superintendents, foremen/leads, safety personnel, human resources, consultants, compliance professionals and trainers. NOTE: This course does include the most recent July 1, 2023 legislative changes.

In addition to AWAIR and Right-to-Know, this session will help familiarize participants with many other requirements, including those involving recordkeeping, machinery and equipment, overhead hoists, gas-fired equipment, ergonomics, carbon monoxide, emergency equipment, and personal protective equipment.
