Rhode Island 10 Hour Construction Course Online Offering


With the fall weather being what it was, the time could not be any better for a safety-training lesson. Here at Online OSHA Safety Training, we wanted everyone out there in the Ocean State of Rhode Island to know that we feel the sting of the coming winter storms. These monsters of a system can and will dump so much snow and ice on top of Rhode Island and most of the surrounding states, we felt it would be cool (no pun intended) if we warmed up things with a little posting concerning the requirements for the RhodeIsland OSHA 10 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Training Course.

Rhode Island OSHA 10 Hour Construction

Rhode Island construction workers, who are setting their sights on being employed as soon as the winter conditions depart, and the construction industry rebounds, in the Northeast and Midwest, are required to take the Rhode Island OSHA 10 Hour Construction Course. The great part of registering and enrolling into the 10 hour safety training course offered online at Online OSHA Safety Training, comes from the ability to not have to travel farther than a few feet to the home computer!

Cold Winter of 2011-2012

This is the best news that we have heard in quite some time and we know, deep down in our hearts, that all of the Rhode Island construction workers, who froze their tales off this past winter, feel the same way. The winter storms have been intense recently in the state of Rhode Island as well as through a good portion of the continental United States. Everyone seemed to be either snowed-in or iced-in and that means we all must use our heads when travelling through the wintery conditions each season.

OSHA Safety Resource Leader

We hope everyone is safe and warm right now and pray that there are no more fatalities from the storms that kept on dumping snow and ice on Rhode Island. At Online OSHA Safety Training, we take great pride in understanding what sacrifice it takes in order to better oneself and rise to the occasion. What we are predominantly discussing is when the opportunity arises for a great job on a construction site, that you are not alone when trying hard to place yourself in that position, and bring home funds for the family!

Onsite Training Update 2012 - OSHA 30 Hour Construction

In the news this past year, there was a rather obscure posting about OSHA citing a masonry contracting company in Austin, Texas. OSHA30 Hour Construction courses onsite training would have been able to dodge this disciplinary action by the Department of Labors Safety and Health wing, OSHA.

Arreola Masonry

The problem with Arreola Masonry and the cause of the citation, stemmed from serious and repeated violations for exposing workers to scaffolding hazards. The total number of safety citations, which were delivered to the owners of this concrete firm, stands at a whopping six. Three were considered very serious and three were related to the repetitive violations that could have cost a man or woman their very lives.

Hail the Green Shirts

The firm was reported as being cooperative and remorseful after the green-shirted OSHA inspectors doled out their punishments for exposing workers to fall hazards at the company's work site in Cedar Park. Proposed penalties total $46,200 and should be a firm penalty phase and hopefully with correct the faulty, inferior scaffolding, at the numerous work-sites.
