OSHA Guidelines & Training

Introduction

As of April 15, 2002 the Four Rivers Safety Council began sponsoring OSHA-related safety courses for all contractors that perform work in the member facilities. The courses include a 4-hour Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course, a Calvert City Area Plant Common Orientation, and site-specific orientations for each of the participating facilities.

The Four Rivers Safety Council training is designed and approved by the participating facilities to provide the basic safety training for a contractor working at the facility. This training does not address every possible issue within the facility. Contractors are encouraged to ask questions and seek additional information about the specific work required.

Current Members: (As of December 1, 2004)

Before performing work in any member facilities, a contractor employee must successfully complete the required courses. Upon satisfactory completion, the contract employee will be issued an approved photo ID badge (valid for one year). All members require each contract employee to present the photo ID badge to enter the facility.

Each Calvert City Kentucky facilities requires the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness course and the site-specific orientation for the facility in which the contractor will work

Honeywell - Metropolis, Illinois facility requires the site-specific orientation.

Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course (4-hours)

The Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course is normally offered on Mondays (except as noted above) at the Safety Training Center located in Calvert City, KY. For your convenience, special arrangements may be made to have the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course scheduled and held on a different weekday at either the Calvert City or WKCTC Paducah location. The Training Center must be contacted in advance to make special arrangements.

Proof of other training

Any contractor performing work at the Calvert City may be released from taking the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course if you have proof of a valid (within one calendar year), "Third Party Training" such as the OSHA 10-hour card, or the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course from another approved Safety Council organization (ex: Three Rivers Safety Council in Joliet, Houston Area Contractors' Safety Council, Associate General Contractors, Trade Union Sponsored Course, etc.)

Those having proof of valid third party training are required (at no cost) to take the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Test to prove mastery and retention of the material. A failed test requires completion of the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course at a later date in its entirety before taking any of the required Calvert City specific orientation courses.

The valid third-party card must be presented to the training center with photo ID to "test-out" of the Basic OSHA Safety Awareness Course. Copies will be made and kept on file at Training Center for Community and Economic Development of all third-party cards.

Fees

The matter of fees and cost related to this contractor safety training/orientation process in the Four Rivers Safety Council's is between the contractor or the contractor employee and the Training Center for Community & Economic Development.
