The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is offering 10 free workplace safety seminars during this year’s Federal Agency Training Week (FEDWEEK 2024). The seminars are scheduled in-person and virtually from 6-8 August.
Each training day will consist of four seminar options, allowing users to select the date, time and topic meeting their schedule needs. Registration is completed on the OSHA eLearning portal at https://oshaelearning.geniussis.com/PublicWelcome.aspx. Class sizes are limited and varying between seminar topics.
So, why attend an OSHA seminar during FEDWEEK 2024? First, it’s free and the virtual option means no complicated travel coordination and reduced impact to your routine schedule. More importantly, professional development is essential for building and reinforcing our operational safety knowledge. Some topics offered do not always receive priority attention, so this may be a good opportunity to improve your knowledge and awareness. Also, as a federal employee, you may have a requirement for professional development/training in your annual performance or individual development plan.
Topics to be presented during FEDWEEK 2024 include:
- Seminar 6110: Verbal De-escalation Techniques
- Seminar 6401: Control of Hazardous Energy (Lock Out)
