Small Business Safety Program and Training Modules

Small Business Safety Program and Training Modules

• Small businesses with more than 10 employees are susceptible to OSHA inspections that resulted from a serious injury, routine inspections, &/or employee complaints that could result in a fine from $30,000-$80,000.
• Typically, OSHA fines small businesses in Fall Protection, Hazardous Communications,  Powered Industrial Trucks, Personal Protective Equipment, and Machine Guarding.
• Odiz Safety has developed a low-cost alternative to hiring a safety leader or consulting. We have an employee engaging process that utilizes your employees, while developing the procedures, policies, and training to shift your company into compliance.

What standards typically apply to small businesses: 

1. Fall Protection—General Requirements (1926.501): 7,271 violations
2. Hazard Communication (1910.1200): 3,213 violations
3. Ladders (1926.1053): 2,978 violations
4. Scaffolding (1926.451): 2,859 violations

9. Personal Protective and Lifesaving Equipment—Eye and Face Protection (1926.102): 2,074 violations
10. Machine Guarding (1910.212): 1,644 violations

Here’s how the process works:

• Engage Odiz Safety: We provide a simple questionnaire to your designated site contacts, which can be completed from a cell phone.
• Submit Data: After submission, the Odiz Small Business Services team will create a custom OSHA compliance program and training based on the specific OSHA standard(s) selected for the site.
• Implementation: Your site manager will then be responsible for implementing the program and training. If needed, Odiz can assist with the implementation for an additional fee.
