Purpose
Funds are available through Tulsa Tech to assist employers
in off-setting the cost of safety training. This funding is a result of Oklahoma
House Bill 1447 which provides financial assistance in an effort to increase
competent occupational safety and health consultation, education and training
for public and private employers. The program is directed toward the advancement
of safety and health training to meet the needs of business and industry with
stated goals, the number of industries served, employees trained, and value
added to the employee and the industry, as well as the promotion and delivery of
safety and health training in order to educate employees and promote workplace
safety. The primary objective will be to reduce OSHA recordables, key loss
factors, Lost Work Days, and restricted work activity and transfers.
