OSHA CERTIFICATION COURSE

Hello from Rightway Consulting. I've got good news for you. The recording of our Production Infection Control Course (webinar) is now available. Please make time to watch the video in it's entirely (2 hours 17 minutes). If for some reason you are interrupted during your first viewing you do have 24 hours to pick up where you left off. It's best if you are able to review it in its entirety, then you can go back and forth to parts you feel you missed or want to hear again. Please note: this video is also embedded into the test. So if you were not able to review as much as you would like during the first 24 hours, you may do so once you have a link to the test. I will email your details to take the test and receive your certificate of course completion after you've viewed the recording of May 15th's webinar. In case you were not on the initial email with info on this course, please see below. Here is a link to the course video: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/rightwayconsulting/421124511

We all would love to get back to work, yet we do want to get back to work safely. Many of us have been discussing this since the beginning of our industry shutdown, yet very few if any of us have prior experience with things like infection control.

Some of you know, I have been working with Rightway Consulting, an OSHA compliance consulting company to educate all of us on safety practices and apply that to our production workplace. I have 30 years in the photo/video world, and the person I am working with, John Cordes, is an OSHA Authorized Outreach Safety Trainer for General Industry and an active member of the National Safety Council (NSC) with over 20 years overall experience and a solid 11 years focusing on I.C. (Infection Control).

There are currently no government regulations, nor rules regarding COVID in our production workplace. John and I have built a training course culminating with a certificate of course completion, to help us make our sets more safe.

The information in this program is based on the education and experience of John Cordes, OSHA Authorized Outreach Safety Trainer for General Industry, and represents the best practices at the time of the program's presentation. The materials have been created in light of OSHA's April/May 2020 guidelines and recommendations for workplace safety, and they do not guarantee the prevention of disease spread. No webinar can adequately cover the nuances of every situation you may encounter, especially given the extensive uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 itself. By participating in this webinar, you understand and agree that the organizers, presenters, and their associates cannot be held liable for any illness or infection that may occur within your business.
