Missouri Rules on 10-hour OSHA construction safety program

2008-10-19T08:19:00.000-07:00

Recently, the Governor of Missouri, Matt Blunt, signed HB1549 that states those working on “Public Works” projects have 60 days to receive their 10-hour OSHA construction safety program. The 60 days is from the beginning work on the project and those who are required to receive the training are the employees working for contractors or subcontractors.

Now, what is a “Public Works” project exactly? It is described as mostly works being constructed for public use or being paid for (whether partially or wholly) out of public funds. “Construction” is also clearly defined in the HB1549 as “construction, reconstruction, demolition, painting and decorating, or major repair” (Section 292.675.1 (1)).

Now, this does not come into effect until August of 2009. If, like many people, don’t have time to go to a classroom to do this newly required training, have no fear. You can come to www.OSHAcampus.com and do the required training because the HB1549 does allow substitute construction safety programs. They do so only if the program is OSHA accepted!

The bright side to all of this? Hopefully safer on-site due to more training. Oh, and of course, being able to take the course with OSHAcampus.com. I’m sure you saw that one coming.
