Source: Kankakee Community College

Description

This module covers OSHA regulations related to walking/working surfaces, fall hazards, and electrical safety, which are critical in industrial maintenance settings.

  1. Walking and Working Surfaces:
    • Safe design and maintenance of floors, stairs, and ladders
  2. Fall Protection:
    • Fall protection systems
    • Ladder safety
    • Scaffolding
