OSHA for Small Business

Workplace safety for employers without a full-time safety staff.

Approved in 35 states and 1 province PDF + online quiz Certificate as soon as you pass

About this course

Small business employers may have special problems in dealing with workplace safety and health hazards; while large corporations can afford full-time safety engineers and industrial hygienists. Yet the workplace hazards that cause thousands of injuries and illnesses every year are as prevalent in small businesses as in larger firms.

This course can help to guide small business employers establish their own safety and health programs, how to manage safety and health protection at their own workplace, and how to provide safe and healthful workplaces.
