This OSHA course familiarizes the student with various types of common machinery and the related safety standards. Guidance is provided with respect to the hazards associated with various types of machinery.

Course highlights include demonstrations of various machines and guarding methods. A mock inspection of a local plant provides hands-on experience. Please make note that on Day Four of class there will be an inspection field exercise.   Students are required to wear appropriate clothing: sturdy, close-toed, non-slip shoes and long pants (preferably jeans). Students are NOT to wear: loose clothing, ties or scarves, ponytails, excess jewelry or hooded sweatshirts.
