All funeral home employees, trade people and other
independent contractors working in or around the preparation room or directly
with bodies or the effects of the deceased must have this training. Owners are considered employees and must
complete annual training if their firm is incorporated.
If you have questions on who needs to receive annual
training, please call the NFDA OSHA support line at 1-800-633-2674.
The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires annual training for all “at risk” or
“potentially at risk” funeral home employees (secretaries & attendants),
managers, and owners. To assist our
members, WFDA will be offering OSHA Mandatory Staff Training in six locations throughout
the state.
This in-depth three hour program is designed to adequately
cover the required standards:
Bloodborne Pathogens
Formaldehyde Exposure
Hazard Communication
General Workplace Safety
Attendees will be provided with an up-to-date program
containing a general overview - including each standard along with facts and
explanations, sample programs, specific instructions on the use of personal
protective equipment and general work practice controls.
