The TRSA Safety & Health Certification verifies that industry facilities voluntarily meet standards that consistently exceed basic OSHA requirements. Standards are based on a portion of the agency’s Voluntary Participation Program guidelines. The Summit session will familiarize industry managers with steps needed to achieve the certification. These include a self-audit that takes place before an auditor’s inspection, focused on:

• Training
• Awareness
• Compliance (employee, manager/supervisor, maintenance employee)
• Claims management
• Measurement

You’ll learn what auditors check on-site, including all of the above plus:

• Worker’s compensation
• Communication
• Recordkeeping
