FALL PROTECTION & CONFINED SPACE

Description

 
We’re excited to offer another free, OSHA-compliant community training opportunity for HEMIC policyholders, family, and friends. This one-day, two-topic training is presented in partnership with BIA – Construction Training Center (Oʻahu) and SWA (Sustainable Workplace Alliance). Participants may attend one or both sessions.
 
At HEMIC, our mission goes beyond providing workers’ compensation coverage - we’re committed to helping Hawaiʻi employers prevent injuries before they happen. This no-cost training is part of HEMIC’s ongoing loss-prevention and risk-management support for our policyholders and the Hawaiʻi business community, while building relationships with other businesses to provide quality safety training.
