CMMA Breakfast Meeting Topic: Overview of Minnesota's Workplace Safety Consultation Program

Employers who value strengthening their safety and health programs are welcome to engage Minnesota’s Workplace Safety Consultation Unit (WSC). This presentation will provide an overview of OSHA, and discuss the WSC program and its services. WSC provides free voluntary and confidential workplace safety and health assistance to Minnesota businesses, with a priority for small businesses. WSC provides a wide variety of free services, including on-site consultation, training, education and outreach in general industry, construction, and agricultural settings. Services are facilitated by safety and health experts who are highly qualified occupational safety and health professionals. No citations or fines are issued, provided the employer agrees to correct all serious hazards identified by Workplace Safety Consultation. WSC also administers the MN STAR and MN SHARP partnership programs, and Minnesota’s “Safety Grant” program. Employers are encouraged to attend if they are interested in taking advantage of these services, or are just curious and have questions!
