OSHA Training and Regulatory Resources for Georgia

Safety Training Programs for the State of Georgia are provided to workers through the federal OSHA Outreach Training Program courses. These courses  are available both online, through self-paced computer training  and on-site courses provided under the OSHA Outreach Training Program. Since Georgia is not a State Plan state, employers operate under the federal guidelines established under the OSH Act of 1970. The OSHA General Duty Clause mandates that all companies provide a safe environment for their workers.

The Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH) directs all governmental surveillance and compliance of state and federal regulations. The Georgia Occupational Health and Safety Surveillance Program, part of GDPH,  uses it’s organization to monitor workplace related injuries and illnesses, then use that information to create new guidelines that will help prevent those risks to the State’s workforce. More than four million people age 16 years and older make up the state’s employed base.

Georgia OSHA Safety Training is suggested and encouraged through the various Georgia state agencies.  Georgia is not an OSHA State Plan participant, so all directives are enforced through the Federal OSHA regulations. While the Georgia monitors workplace compliance, company compliance is largely based in federal OSHA regulations, guidelines, rules and directives. OSHA established the OSHA Outreach Training Program to provide workers with an easy way to study and receive their OSHA Wallet Card.
