A lack of proper safety training attributes to accidents and
deaths each year. It’s not just a good idea, it’s required that city personnel
be trained. Safety training is essential for maintaining compliance with
regulations, keeping workers’ compensation costs down, and most importantly,
keeping your most valuable resource, your employees, safe and healthy.
We know it’s hard to stay current with state and federal
regulations, so we did it for you. Here is a Safety Training Table to help guide you
in your required training.
How can we receive this required annual training?
If you are part of the League of Minnesota Insurance Trust
(LMCIT) Regional Safety Group (RSG), your RSG Coordinator can help to ensure
compliance and proper training is being met. Safety training companies,
community colleges, and Minnesota Safety Council are good resources for safety
training.
Another option is LMCIT’s NEOGOV Safety Training. NEOGOV Safety Training is an affordable and convenient web-based training for all employees.
This tool provides access to more than 60 online training courses covering a
wide variety of safety topics that can provide basic training for new
employees, as well as refresher training for experienced and seasonal
employees.
Need a supplement to your training or a quick refresher to
your safety meetings? New this year, we have 342 streaming safety videos through CoastalFlix . This is available
free of charge to all League members and replaces our DVD library.
