New OSHA 30-Hour Course for Healthcare

IESO, LLC announces a new OSHA 30-Hour General Industry course customized for healthcare. Many healthcare personnel have noted that the standard 30-hour OSHA course seems to have little in common with their needs.  This healthcare-customized course will familiarize you with applicable OSHA standards while focusing on hazard recognition and prevention.  Special emphasis is placed on those areas that are the most hazardous, using OSHA standards as a guide.  What is unique about this course is that it was designed from the ground up to meet the specific needs of the healthcare industry, and we firmly believe it is currently the first and only one of its kind. It meets all OSHA requirements for time and content, and attendees who successfully pass the course will receive their 30-hour completion card.
