ARE YOU OSHA COMPLIANT?
Providing safety courses is the responsibility of every employer and they must be completed prior to operation at your facility. Refresher or re-certification training must also be conducted at least once every three years. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has very clear standards that employees must follow, but we can help your company stay in OSHA compliance. Dillon Toyota Lift’s expert instructors educate operators through a course of formal instruction, practical training, and evaluation of workplace performance to keep you in compliance with OSHA training requirements. Visit OSHA 1910.178 for more details.
