Werner to offer on-site and virtual safety training for annual Safety Stand-Down
Werner will continue free virtual training programs when OSHA’s annual safety events return in May; Fall Protection and Ladder Safety trainings offered nationwide.
Werner, a world leader in ladders and the manufacturer of climbing products and fall protection equipment, will offer safety training both on-site and through virtual resources to support the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) National Safety Stand-Down Initiative.
The voluntary OSHA event encourages workplaces to take a break and discuss falling hazards during the week of May 3 - 7, though Werner will support the initiative nationwide all month long. As the world returns to work, Werner will help construction pros access a higher standard of safety by making its experts more accessible than ever, both in person and online.
Members of Werner’s 36-member National Jobsite Safety and Security Team will be traveling the United States throughout the month of May leading fall protection and ladder safety training sessions. Online, the fall protection category leader is offering two live webinars with the company’s top safety professionals. In addition, construction pros can access virtual training options anytime through Werner’s global learning platform at MyWernerCo.com.
“Our commitment goes far beyond selling a climbing solution. We are education experts that provide the highest performing products to maximize productivity and safety,” said Josh Rizzo, Jobsite Safety & Security Director at WernerCo. “With fall protection as a top OSHA violation, it’s more critical than ever for Werner to provide educational safety training that offers a personal approach, while providing hands-on safety tips and practices. Our focus is on our end-users, and we passionately pursue better ways to make them safer.”
Werner trains an average of 25,000 individuals each year during OSHA’s annual Safety Stand-Down. Safety directors and professionals can sign up to participate at wernerco.com/training.
