IMPORTANT Cal/OSHA UPDATE!

All employers in the cannabis industry, including those who cultivate, manufacture, distribute, sell, and test marijuana products, must take steps to protect their employees from all health and safety hazards associated with their work.

State of California Department of Industrial Relations requires California employers to have an effective written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), to comply with the California Code of Regulations, title 8, section 3203. The IIPP must include procedures to identify and correct health and safety hazards in the workplace and provide effective training to all employees so they can perform work safely.

Equipment Operator Safety Training - Get Certified Today!

Operators of earth movers, forklifts, aerial lifts, backhoe/loaders, front-end loaders, excavators, etc., need to be properly trained before using the equipment.

We offer initial level courses for operators whose training certification has lapsed or who have never received formal training. We also offer refresher level training for those who are in need of re-training.

While OSHA mandates training every 3 years, we recommend receiving refresher training annually to help keep operator safety in the forefront.
