IOSH Consultation & Education
MISSION
STATEMENT: The Workforce Development Department will commit it's resources to
Iowa's prosperity by working to ensure the income security, productivity, safety and
health of all Iowans. One of IOSH Consultation and Education's goals
is to reduce the incidence of injury or illness to workers by enhancing ability to
identify and control safety and health hazards.
Employers can learn
about potential hazards at their worksites and improve their occupational safety and
health management systems by using the free consultation services.
This service is delivered by the State of Iowa using well-trained professional staff.
Most consultations take place on-site, though limited services away from the
worksite are available. This program is completely separate from the IOSH
Enforcement staff, no citations are issued or penalties proposed, and it is confidential.
SHARP and VPP are
company recognition programs for safety and health management awarded by the Commissioner
of Labor on behalf of the Governor of Iowa.
The Education section
offers a variety of safety education videos that can be borrowed, free of charge,
for public use. A wide selection of OSHA publications and informational fact sheets
is available from Federal OSHA - click the link at the left for a full listing.
Speaking engagements, seminars and conferences allow OSHA Consultation and
Education staff to encourage large and small business employers and employees to pursue
safety and health management programs.
Also, FREE
training for the 10-hour Voluntary Compliance OSHA
Certificate Course for General Industry or Construction is conducted on a
first come, first served basis. The business requesting the training is provided one
set of course materials to be copied for each participant. Contact OSHA
Consultation at (515) 281-7629.
Due to budget constraints we discontinued
providing OSHA standard books for general industry and construction several years ago.
You may download and print selected sections of the OSHA Standards by
clicking on the link at the left.
Listed below are several businesses that sell the standards. These are
Federal OSHA standards, and will not have an IOSH cover. Iowa does have
its own Right-to-Know Statutes and Rules. See below for ordering
information of Iowa’s Right-to-Know Rules
(no charge for the RTK
rules).
