Production agriculture is suddenly on OSHA and EPA’s radar.
Ag employers, even those with as few as 10 employees, must have documentation that they are providing required safety training. OSHA increased its fines by 80 percent this year across the board, and additional training requirements are being imposed on ag businesses, with more stringent regulations added on a regular basis. On top of this, businesses will soon be required to report all injuries immediately, rather than just the most severe incidents.
To simplify these record-keeping and reporting obligations, Good Day’s Work has implemented new enhancements to their system. Good Day’s Work is a web-based Learning Management System—built by ag professionals for ag professionals—that combines an expanding library of employee safety-training videos (available in English and Spanish) with automated tracking and reporting tools that any agribusiness can use to maintain a sound workplace safety training program, with or without a safety specialist on staff.
New features include expanding their video course offerings to nearly 60 titles, improved video streaming for low-bandwidth users, broadening their report options to simplify tracking, and expanding their classroom training options.
