Can I train my own employees rather than using a Nationwide Training Company like Mobile Equipment Training Inc.?
Yes, in most cases this is allowed, however the laws are changing rapidly in light of some of the high profile accidents and mortality that has been in the news lately. OSHA just published a new rule for construction effective November 8, 2010. In the case of accidents very often OSHA or MSHA investigations result in very expensive fines and citations due to what was determined to be “inadequate” training. That’s why we set a very high standard to ensure all our programs are legally defensible and as effective as possible.
