Cal/OSHA-8: Challenges of Real World Safety & Health

Safety Center Incorporated is proud to be in partnership with Cal/OSHA Consultation in the creation of our Cal/OSHA-8 program. The program was developed to address high accident rates in the construction industry. Since its inception, the Cal/OSHA-8 program has trained over 1,000 workers, supervisors and foremen. We have 5 master trainers and over 50 trainers throughout California and the United States.

Safety Center Incorporated has several new trade specific programs under development. Residential Framing is our first trade specific program. Look for Roofing, Plumbing and more in 2008! 

"Injuries and illnesses associated with the construction industry are a cause for concern. Cal/OSHA Consultation has partnered with Safety Center Incorporated in developing a very effective training program to address this problem."

-Dave Bare, Program Manager, Cal/OSHA Consultation Services

The Cal/OSHA-8 Residential Framing course is a concise, relevant, and comprehensive training program tailored to the residential framing field supervisor. This is the only course I have thought to be worth my time to become certified in. My hope is that other trades take our lead, and develop their own trade specific Cal/OSHA-8 training program.
