Municipal: Environmental, Health, and Safety

Course Library

A complete library for all of your municipal: environmental, health, and safety training needs.

Work Safely. Work Smart. Although state and local municipal workers are exempt from direct OSHA regulation, many states have incorporated OSHA regulations into state safety and health regulations. In fact, some states have adopted regulations that are more stringent than OSHA regulations.

In all cases, OSHA regulations cited in OSI’s Municipal EHS library illustrate recognized methods of creating and maintaining a safe work environment. Providing this information in a convenient way is part of our shared goal to teach your team how to recognize risk and avoid it. After all, one injured worker is one too many.

Our courses are delivered via a state-of-the-art learning management system that allows you to customize curricula, adjust testing parameters, and even customize courses with site-specific content and photos.
