It seems like there is so much involved in safety traiing that it would be hard to actually run a successful business and also be in safety compliance. Can anyone offer advise to a new California Commercial/Industrial Union Electrical Contractor to keep workers safe and the company safe from litigation and Cal/Osha inspections?
What training, cert's, etc. should we put our electricians through? CPR Cert., NFPA 70E training, Arc Flash, etc., etc., etc., etc....... Do all workers need to go through or just the foreman in some cases? Does being a part of the IBEW Union cover any requirements?
How about office personnel? Or the Responsible Safetey Officer? What should they be qualified or trained in?
To put things in perspective, it would be a relatively small company (10-30 electricians, 5 office workers). Worker safety is the most important, but what can the company do to keep them safe from litigation as well?
Thank you in advance. I have gained so much knowledge from the endless contributions to this forum and it is greatly appreciated.
