Safety Training Requirement
We often get questions from our
members about who needs to complete
the 2-Hour Group Safety Training
Requirement? Well here is the answer: if
you can answer yes to both then it is a
BWC requirement to complete two
hours of designated group safety training:
• Is your company participating in a
group program for the 2018 policy year
(Group rating or group retrospective
rating)?
• Did you have any claims occur
between 7/1/16 and 9/30/17?
Need assistance? Call the Chamber office
we will help you get that training
covered, 740-373-5176.
Stop Use and Inspect Order Issued on
3M Fall Protection Harness
3M Fall Protection has learned of the
possibility of a manufacturing defect in a
dorsal d-ring of ExoFit NEX™ harnesses
manufactured between January 2016 and
December 2018. Although there have
been no reported incidents involving this
condition, a dorsal d-ring with this defect
will not support the load in a fall arrest
event which could result in serious injury
or death. More information can be found
