OSHA Training - Do I really need it?-Some people have this kind of question with their OSHA requirements. They believe that the guidelines and provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are just for inexperienced people and should not be a big problem, unless someone makes them undergo the training. Smart and professional people, however, know that even though such trainings are not mandatory, complying to certain standards or procedures, such as OSHA compliance, is important in an organization, whether big or small - proper training means better execution of the job.

Workplace safety shouldn't be taken lightly. Too many organizations have had to pay heavy consequences for OSHA violations occurred - thinking that complying is just a waste of time. If companies lose millions of dollars in OSHA fines for simple violations, then you just have to think, is it really that much of a waste of time for workplace safety? It is just right you'd want to protect your organization from any problems whatsoever, including OSHA violations. Therefore, you should follow every rule and comply with every requirement - maybe even at times that OSHA training is not required. Make your workplace safe, get your people safe, and protect your organization.
