Sponsored by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) along with the Idaho Associated General Contractors (AGC) and Idaho Building Contractors Association (IBAC), a series of sessions on “Safety and Health Training in the Residential Construction Industry” is being held in Idaho this month and next.
The training is an integral part of a “local emphasis program” by OSHA’s Boise area office to reduce job hazards in the home building industry.
Aimed at company owners, managers, supervisors and foremen, the session is providing training on OSHA standards for residential construction, criteria for fall protection systems and equipment, and preparation for safety inspections.
