DID YOU KNOW....About FREE Safety Literature on the web?
Many people do not know that there are many places on the web where you can get videos, posters, and publications related to safety FREE for the asking!
Here are a few of the many...
www.osha.gov/pls/publications/pubindex.list
This is the OSHA website. A great resource since there are many publications here that spell out the federal requirements. There are videos that can be borrowed, and booklets, fact sheets, posters, and forms that can be ordered or downloaded as a PDF file. The publications are free and there are a lot of construction and general industry related topics to choose from. Generally, if you have a need to place a large order, you must submit your request in writing, but in my experience they are prompt with placing your order and getting it to you in a timely manner.
www.dllr.state.md.us/labor.mosh.html
This is the publications link to the MOSH (Maryland Occupational Safety and Health) website. Like the OSHA website, there are publications that can be ordered or downloaded for free, but these publications consist of the federal AND state regulations. (There are several regulations in Maryland that are more stringent than the federal regulations).
www.cdc.gov/niosh/pubs.html
This is the NIOSH website (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health). NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and they do research on occupational hazards, injuries, and diseases, provide technical advice to OSHA, and make recommendations on the best work practices to avoid work related injuries and illnesses. These publications are also free; they can be ordered or downloaded, but they are recommendations, not regulations. OSHA often uses these recommendations to create or amend standards.
www.safteng.net
This is a membership site, but they do have excellent newsletters that they will send you for free via e-mail. Membership rates vary, based on whether you are purchasing for an individual or a company, but there are lots of free things in the non-members area and on the newsletters that can be used for toolbox talks.
If you are interested in joining this site or at least receiving the free newsletters on e-mail, the link is on the site. I have been a member of this site for four years and it is well worth becoming a member because they have lots of valuable resources on there that can help you with training.
I hope these links were helpful. If you know of any others, please feel free to contact me at mbarton@abcbaltimore.org and I will post them here as well.
