OSHA Safety Training

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) directs employers to train employees in all safety and health matters pertinent to their job duties and work environment. Many of OSHA’s standards make it the employer’s responsibility to limit certain job assignments to those who are “certified”, “competent”, or “qualified”. This means the worker must be effectively and specifically trained. The course also provides information regarding workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint. BDN’s OSHA Outreach courses are designed to supplement many of those requirements under the OSHA regulations for Construction.

RETURN POLICY: BDN reserves the right to cancel or reschedule courses. In the event BDN finds it necessary to cancel a course, full refunds will be made if the student is unable to reschedule. Cancellations on the client/student’s part are subject to a $40 charge unless 48-hour notice is given. Requests for refunds may be made by telephone, but must be confirmed in writing to begin the actual refund through the accounting department. Class fees may be transferred to another participant or to an alternate course date without penalty; if a student misses a previously scheduled class, BDN asks that any refund or rescheduling be arranged within 24 hours of the missed first class day. The fees are assumed to be applied to a future class until a written refund request is received. At this point the refund would reflect a $40 charge. Refund requests can be arranged by faxing Kathy at 269.329-7446, or by email at kwhite@bdnihc.com.
