OSHA Training Course Chicago Illinois 10 Hour General Industry Course Major Success


We wish you could honestly inform you all that from here on out the world and the country will be free from disasters and hazardous conditions. The truth of the matter is that more than likely and more now than in any recorded history annals going back to the Great Flood, we are in for some rougher waters.

Rough Weather Past Lessons

As the title of this little ditty states, if you fail to plan you most certainly will be setting yourself up for a huge failure. This has been proven repeatedly and not just for minor events such as creeks overflowing their respective boundaries, and the lack of sandbagging by the authorities but major instances such as Katrina!

Avoid Catastrophic Mistakes in Planning

A great way to avoid near catastrophic mistakes and even side step the major developments that Mother Nature and Father Time toss at us from time to time is to be adequately prepared. The plan, that we so highly speak of, can be from mapping out an escape route and follow the old saying about running from water and hiding from wind to developing a series of steps to be followed in case of an earthquake or tornado.

10 Hour General Industry Course

Of course those are only a couple of the major instances of environmental destruction that could plague a locality but there also exists the necessity to plan to be trained in the realm of General Industry safety precautions. This brings us to the safety training course specifics that is the 10 Hour General Industry Course offered by Online OSHA Safety Training.

New York to Nevada

The 10 Hour General Industry Course is required to be taken by most of the General Industry workers in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Missouri and Nevada. This OSHA accepted safety course is great for supervisors who oversee both the safety of the workplace and the safety of the workers who look to them for both leadership and safety related compliance. The 10 Hour General Industrial course is comprehensively a dynamic and fluid safety program that is designed for any worker in the manufacturing and industrial sector.

Online OSHA Safety Training

The breakdown for the 10 Hour General Industry Course is very easy to achieve in one day as it is divided into 8 individual modules consisting of 50 minutes to 2 hours in overall time-length.

Be Planning Proactive!

Do not be the supervisor or the work site superintendent that thinks that nothing bad will happen in the factory or on site, as this is exactly what planning to fail is all about! Plan to be proactive and enroll yourself and the entire company in a great 10 Hour General Industry Course served up hot and fresh by the wondrous folks over at Online OSHA Safety Training today!

Importance of “OSHA ACCEPTED” Wording for Online OSHA 30-Hour Construction Courses


In a perfect safety conscious world, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. Those famous lines, quipped by William Shakespeare, work well in a fantastic play and a few hundred or so movies, in which the Master’s words are used, and quite prodigiously at that, but in the OSHA safety training world, there is no room for misnaming errors.

Department of Labor

The Department of Labor, which is the ruling body for OSHA, has strict requirements for online providers, when it comes to offering all of the safety training courses, including the OSHA 30 Hour Construction Course. In addition to calling a rose a rose, the OSHA courses, which are online, have to follow the OSHA outline, for the specific course. Furthermore, the course must be submitted for OSHA approval and be perpetually updated, for new requirements.

Approved and Recommended 

The glaring warning sign, that all workers and OSHA safety training needing professionals must pay close attention to, is the words “approved” or “recommended”. You should know that OSHA does not allow the words to be used with any of the online courses. The only words that are allowed in conjunction with any OSHA course are   “OSHA Accepted.”

Big Government is Watching?

Although this may seem like overkill and once again, Big Government getting too involved in the education principles for their own good, it really makes sense here for safety issues. OSHA needs to know that they have been given the chance to review the course content.

US Infrastructure and OSHA Safety Training Courses in Line for Piece of President Obama’s 300 Billion Dollar Job Creation Pie


Will President Obama’s 300 billion dollar job creation plan injection boost the lagging registrations for OSHA safety training courses? What percentage of that 300 billion will do directly into the failing infrastructure demands and safety training on a per state basis?

President Obama Speaks on Thursday 8th of September 

Decisions, questions, and a slim hope for a real turnaround on the nation’s economic front, are all on the table and tomorrow, Thursday 8th of September, 2011, the President will address at least a few of the heavy questions in a nationally televised public address. The price tag of the proposed job creation package would be offset by other cuts that the President would outline.

300 Billion

So far, the information that has been leaked out to the public, states that the plan would inject more than $300 billion into the economy next year through tax cuts, spending on infrastructure, and aid to state and local governments. What has triggered the antennae of the firms that offer online OSHA safety training courses is the infrastructure percentages.

Heavy Infrastructure Spending Needed

A stout and heavy injection of Federal, state, and local dollars into any form of governmentally backed worker safety training issues, would be heaven-sent and a potential windfall for the online locations of safety training. We will just have to wait until all of this 300 billion or so gets unraveled and then, when the smoke clears; see how much of a piece of pie is left over for the OSHA safety training facilitators.

10 Commandments of Great Safety Habits By the Mighty Buckeye Loving Safety Team


Have you noticed that in almost everything that you have done in the past either in your personal life or business life that you have discovered a trick in which the entire process goes smoother and quicker each and every time? And have you also noticed that as you practiced these tricks of the trade, especially in your work habits, that as time progressed you become very keen at completing the task faster and with less effort and less energy? That’s exactly what developing everyday safety habits, in which all can keep you injury-free throughout the entire year, is all about.

Ohio State University School Days



At Online OSHA Safety Training we have decided to get heavenly with you and discuss the 10 Commandments of great safety habits right here and right now. We have been practicing these very same 10 Commandments for safety goals in our own careers and jobs ever since we can remember or as far back as our college days at The Ohio State University. Now that’s dating us a bit but who’s keeping score as the only score that counts is how safe you are on-the-job each and every day and coming back home to those little Bucks!

Very Unsafe World

Without further delay let us introduce you to the first commandment that leads off the 10 Commandments of great safety habits so that you can get acclimated to what we are trying to dispense in this review of how to stay safe and alive in a very unsafe world.

•Create Your Very Own Safety Standards

Practice independent safety habits and do not be influenced by negative behaviors of others who may or may not have your best interests at heart even on the job as a team orientated group.

•Operate Equipment ONLY if Well-Qualified and Well-Trained

If you operate a piece of equipment such as huge scrapers or baggers by all means please have the sense and sensibility to first ask your supervisor to train you even if it causes a stoppage in the work flow because briefly stopping the work now will prevent a casualty or very serious injury or even death later. Use the analogy of a fisherman who secures all rods and gear before making the trip back in after a long day of fishing. The fisherman is tired and has been out in the blazing Atlantic Sun in the summer for 8-12 hours and just wants to just kick back and point the boat in the direction of the home port. What he does to prepare for the trip back is very important and keeps him safe from all lines and other hangers that could cause an eye accident or even worse. Take the few extra minutes to be safe.

•Respect Machinery

Recall that machines are not humans and have no emotions or no logical way of thinking and stopping themselves if your hand or finger happens to be in a way of moving imports that normally crush iron objects. Make certain that all safety guards are in place especially on saws and other chopping and cutting tools of the trade. Never be in such a hurry that you forget your great safety habits that you work so hard to obtain and retain and always look at your hands and count 10 fingers and think someone either up above or whoever you may pray to that you still have those at the end of each day.

•Use Your Own Initiatives for Safety Protection

Utilize your very own safety protection procedures and congratulate yourself when you do a fine day’s work without causing any injury to yourself or others on the job site, well done!

•Ask Questions All the Time

Make sure that you asked questions if you’re uncertain of anything on the job site especially when it comes to operating dangerous machinery. Recall back in the school days that there were no stupid questions and you’ll get by just fine with your own safety protocol.

•Use Care and Caution When Lifting And Think before Moving Your Body and Heavy Object Simultaneously

Know your limits and do not over extend your reach or twist your body when lifting any amount of weight. The few minutes it takes to prevent serious injury will pay off in great dividends not only on payday every Friday but throughout the course of the year with no missed workdays and all 10 fingers.

•Practice Good Housekeeping Safety Habits

The number one cause of a serious injury is by having a disorganized work area as these are breeding grounds for all types of accidents and work-related injuries each and every year on job sites throughout America.

•Wear Proper and Sensible Work Clothes and Secure Long Hair and Mullets

You’re not going to a club so avoid loose clothing, any dangling bling-bling and if you have long hair make certain that you secure those golden locks behind your head as normally ponytails will do the trick here for you.

•Wear Sturdy and Appropriate Footwear

Sturdy and appropriate footwear is a staple on most construction and/or industrial work sites throughout America and the rest of the world hopefully. Protect your feet and toes with great foot safety habits by purchasing steel-toed boots and tough leather work-appropriate footwear.

•Practice Good Personal Cleanliness - Be Mr. Clean of the Worksite

Never touch your eyes or face and especially the mouth with dirty, grimy gloves that you’ve been wearing all day. All you have to do is take the gloves off make sure you wash your hands and then you could pick and prod until the cows come home.

•Be a Positive Part of the Safety Team/ Inspiration to All That Come to the Construction Site

Be more than willing to accept and follow safety rules as these rules will save your life in the long run. We appreciate your time and patience in reading through the 10 Commandments of great safety habits and hope you have a wonderful day on the job and come back with all 20 digits. If you are ever in need of a great safety training course such as the Online OSHA 10-Hour Construction Course that will definitely accentuate your safety habits that you have learned yourself on the job then head over to Online OSHA Safety Training and get your safety training on!
