San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2010 -- OSHA Outlet, the country's premier provider of online construction safety training, has launched comprehensive NFPA-70E Training online. Their 3-1/2 hour course gives students a thorough overview of 2009 NFPA 70E requirements. Students learn proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), how to analyze electrical risks and hazards, and necessary actions needed to avoid injuries.

"Our company is responsible for the safety and health of thousands of employees working with electricity every day. In my expert opinion, one of the key differences between receiving a life threatening injury and going home safely is understanding the principles that we teach in this class," said Vince Hundley, CSP, MS, Arc Flash expert and President of OSHA Outlet.

"NFPA 70E Training online provides invaluable safety guidance for electrical contractors, electricians, contractors, maintenance personnel and others who work with electrical installations," says Mr. Hundley. The course is divided into five modules: Introduction to Electrical PPE, Protection from Shock and Electrocution, Protection from Arc Flash, Protection from Arc Blast, and General Protection from Electrical Injuries. Participants will receive a printable certificate validating completion.

NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) 70E is the standard for electrical safety in the workplace. This course was adapted from the booklet, "A User's Guide to Electrical PPE, Based on NFPA 70E," by Ray A. Jones, a top-ranking expert in electrical safety and chairman of the NFPA 70E Technical Committee; and Jane G. Jones. Their combined expertise provides an unmatched resource to enable OSHA compliance and help prevent electrical accidents and injuries.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2010 -- San Diego, California, based OSHA Outlet recently completed a survey of 5,000 California businesses to find that seven out of 10 companies are not compliant with the new California Labor Law. Effective October 8, 2010, California employers needed to post a NEW:

"Notice to Employees--Injuries Caused by Work" posting. FAILURE to comply with these new posting requirements can lead to fines of up to $7,000.

"To be compliant, up-to-date notices must be posted in an accessible format for applicants and employees, at a location all employees routinely visit such as a break room, lunchroom, time clock or job site," said Bobby Lipton, CEO of OSHA Outlet.

In addition, California employers must also distribute a new: "Your Rights to Workers' Compensation Benefits" pamphlet to all new employees who start work on or after October 8. Companies can request one from their insurance carriers or visit the California Workers' Compensation Institute to purchase one at http://www.cwci.org/store.html.

Employers must also begin using a revised DWC-1 Claim Form/Notice of Potential Eligibility. Businesses can download one at no cost at the California Division of Workers' Compensation at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/DWCForm1.pdf.

In addition, employers who participate in, or who are implementing, changing or terminating a medical provider network (MPN) must create a MPN Notice to post and distribute to injured employees.

To help companies comply with the new Labor Law Postings, OSHA Outlet is offering the 2011 State and Federal Labor Law posters for the low price of $14.99 for a limited time. To get compliant, companies can purchase the updated Labor Law Posters on their website at http://www.oshaoutlet.com/ca-labor-law-poster/california-labor-law-posters.html.

OSHA Outlet wants you to practice safe lifting. If you move heavy objects like refrigerators, furniture, washers & dryers and appliances, then you need the Shoulder Dolly.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/08/2010 -- Shoulder Dolly® is a revolutionary new way to easily move big, heavy and bulky objects. Using natural leverage, Shoulder Dolly® allows two lifters to maintain proper upright posture while moving any object. The sturdy harness fits comfortably over your shoulders. The Shoulder Dolly® moving strap doesn't make you any stronger than you are without it, but it is ergonomically designed to promote and facilitate proper lifting techniques.

This product is ideal for Do-It-Yourselfers, movers, warehouse workers and appliance installers. "From an orthopedic surgeon's standpoint, moving heavy objects so easily & effortlessly with the Shoulder Dolly® is good for you and your back," says Dr. Robert E. Hunter, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon based in Aspen, Colorado.

What makes the Shoulder Dolly® different? The Shoulder Dolly® uses patented technology that uses leverage instead of brute strength. By using your legs, your strongest muscles, the Shoulder Dolly® decreases strain and the risk of injury to your lower back, hands, biceps and forearms. You reduce hand, back and arm strain using your legs and shoulders instead.

"I can see it reducing acute injuries as well as long-term damage to the spine." says Dr. Paul Parsons, DC Chiropractor of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. When it comes to lifting heavy objects, don't risk it.
