The School Bus Safety Company announced today it has just completed the development of its fourth module – The OSHA Compliance Toolkit for both school bus technicians and drivers.
The OSHA Compliance Toolkit is a single source management tool designed specifically for school bus operations. Used properly it will help managers quickly and easily achieve compliance with OSHA regulations in the least amount of time and with the least amount of effort.
The toolkit also provides education and training materials addressing 22 OSHA standards that apply to maintenance facilities and 3 that apply to drivers. The subjects covered are:
Technicians
1. Emergency Response Plan
2. Lockout/Tagout
3. Hazards Communication
4. Lifts, Pits, Jacks and Stands
5. Fire Protection
6. Rails, Stairs and Ladders
7. Signage
8. Slips, Trips and Falls
9. Diesel Exhaust
10. Electrical Hazards Pathogens
11. Hand Tools
12. Machine Guarding
13. Fuel Islands
14. PPE
15. EmergencyEyewash
16. Confined Spaces
17. First Aid and Bloodborne
18. Forklift Safety
19. Multi-Piece/Single Rim Wheels
20. Spray Finishing
21. Welding
22. Storage
Drivers
1. Lockout/Tagout
2. Bloodborne Pathogens
3. Hazards Communication
“The Process Guide includes action plans and checklists with step-by-step instructions detailing what you must do to be in compliance” said Jeff Cassell, president of The School Bus Safety Company. “Simply put, if you follow every action plan and document every action step, you’ll be in compliance. It’s that simple.”
“We created this course because of demand from two of the largest contractors in the industry, – Student Transportation Inc and North America Central,” said Cassell.
Both of these large contractors have already reviewed the course and rated it “Awesome.” Each is in the process of implementing at all locations.
“School districts in some states are exempt from complying with federal regulations,” said Cassell. “However, 33 states have similar rules, and I think the safety of the technicians and drivers in every school bus operation deserve the same high level of safety whether it is required or not. Doing the right thing and protecting your employees should be the standard, not the regulations.”
This is SBSC’s fourth module and follows the highly successful Driver Training Course, now in place at more than 650 school districts. Transporting Students with Special Needs and Bullying Prevention on the School Bus were released earlier this year and are being used across the country as well.
The OSHA Compliance Toolkit is only $1,450 and can be used for many years. For more information, please visit the web site at www.schoobussafetyco.com or contact:
