OSHA Safety Training - Plumbing Zone

How many of you guys have gone through OSHA safety training? When I worked as a construction manager at Lennar Homes I had to go through safety training and it was worth the time spent.

Never have had to here. I'm sure it would be of great benefit.

We had random OSHA inspections so it really wasn't an option for us...

Never did. Had a lot of safety training otherwise as well as volunteer fire department safety training which included ladder and roof training. That was valuable.

Yea, I'd say ladder safety is huge and so many people don't do that right.

Well, I'm hopeful that this Workplace Safety forum can bread some good conversation and keep everyone safe. We had a guy die on the site a few years ago and that really changed my perspective on this stuff.

Basic things can really hurt you.2 years ago on a farm somewhere out here a hired hand was trying to clear a stopped-up bldg. sewer and I guess the line was quite a long run ,and when he had the plug all but screwed off the pressure forced the plug out and it hit him in the face and killed him.True story.

I have a osha 30 and ssta and first aid. being union there is alot of opportunity to take classes for free. and they get you on more jobs

I have OSHA 10 & 30 training as well as CPR and EMT Basic. OSHA does require contractors to have all employees OSHA 10 trained and all foreman's and higher have to be OSHA 30 and CPR trained in Nevada. We also have regulations for being trained on forklifts, scissor lifts, boom lifts, and Powder activated tools. Oh yeah and fall protection training as well.

I don't think OSHA even knows where SD is. When I was a pipefitter at Monsanto World HQ, OSHA training was on a monthly basis, and they spared no expense. We had bungee safety harness training from 3 stories up. CPR training, you name it, we learned it. It would be nice to see a presence here, but I think we're years away from that.
