This week IAM C.R.E.S.T. is providing classroom and hands-on-training on Accident / Incident and Near Miss and other Safety & Health topics to both labor unions and management safety members at the MillerCoors Brewery facility. Participants learned the requirements of the OSH Act of 1970 and employee and employer responsibilities. Several OSHA standards were discussed within the training modules during the week. Participants gained knowledge of how the body is affected by the workplace and learned hands-on techniques for identifying and solving workplace hazards. Everyone realized the importance of a proactive injury/illness intervention program for all of the employees of the facility. Group exercises were assigned to conduct root cause analysis for accident/incident and near miss investigations along with conducting area inspections on the shop floor. The participants made presentations of their findings and recommendations for corrective action to members of management and labor.
