Increase your understanding of the role of the Competent Person to assist in identifying the hazards associated with many of the jobsite programs requiring inspections.
OSHA requires that employers on construction sites conduct safety inspections of job sites and require that a Competent Person, designated by the employer, be responsible for the completion of the inspections. More specifically a Competent Person is required to complete inspections of scaffolds, fall protection equipment and systems, trenches, confined spaces, and the list goes on.
This session will assist the attendee to better understand the following:Defining a Competent Person and their role on a jobsite.
At the end of this session participants will understand the importance of inspections, what to look for and how to meet OSHA’s requirements. This session will include classroom exercises to assist in developing the skills and knowledge to aid in the development of inspection forms and guides used to develop their own competent person inspection program.
Anyone who has the potential to or has been identified by their employer to conduct a worksite inspection should attend.
Since site safety and inspections are required, lead persons, supervisors, foremen, project managers or even individual trades persons have been most likely tasked with company safety responsibilities. These persons along with Safety Managers and Construction Managers, who are responsible for maintaining and implementing inspection pro-grams, will benefit from attending this informative program.
