Steve’s training and consulting experience is born from his work directly with construction and manufacturing outfits in over 30 states and also in Mexico. Mr. St. Laurent always brings his “high energy” style to the customized training he provides including OSHA 10 and 30-hr, First Aid/CPR/AED, bloodborne pathogens, lockout-tagout, confined space, and other compliance topics, along with his specialty of supervisor training on topics such as “effective communications” and “How to Deliver Training & Toolbox Safety Talks that Don’t Bore you to Death!”
Mr. St. Laurent maintains a free safety blog focusing on how to be a better trainer as well as providing content for toolbox safety talks. He also provides his free, Toolbox Talk of-the-Month complete with a quiz and the sign-in sheet with a summary of the talk, all in English and Spanish!

Topic Background
Do the OSHA standards overwhelm you? Do you know where to start to evaluate the hazards at your facility?
OSHA’s General Duty Clause, as well as the OSHA standards, mandate that manufacturers and all employers in the general industry take 4 actions to ensure a safe workplace
- Identify the hazards in their workplace
- Implement ways to avoid or protect against those hazards
- Train their employees on items #1 and #2, and finally
- Supervise to ensure adherence to that training
Sadly, many companies fall short not only in the supervision but in the first three items as well. Furthermore, OSHA mandates that regular workplace inspections be conducted and documented. Just about every company could do better and knows they should, but often get overwhelmed.
