(SALEM) - The Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) will be offering a free lunchtime training session in Salem on Friday.

Oregon OSHA designed the 'Safety for Small Business' program to help small business owners or supervisors implement an effective safety and health management program in their workplace. The training consists of two one-hour workshops where participants bring their own lunches, and Oregon OSHA provides workshop materials. The training is free.

The 'Safety for Small Business' workshop will be presented in Salem from noon to 1:00 PM at the Chemeketa Community College Training and Economic Development (TED) Center, 365 Ferry Street NE. Attendance is important at the first meeting to effectively participate in the Phase Two meeting two weeks later. Participants will learn how to integrate a safety and health program into their business plan, receive industry-specific safety information, and be introduced to the program's ten short duration safety and health training modules.
