"Federal OSHA fines are increasing next summer, some by up to 80 percent ," said Governor Paul R. LePage. "Investing in safety helps everyone. I encourage businesses to connect with SafetyWorks! for one of our no-cost trainings or to schedule an on-site consultation. Keeping up-to-date on workplace safety helps employers provide a safe place for Mainers to work and be prepared in the case of a federal OSHA review."

Courses are held at no charge to employers and their employees in the SafetyWorks! Training Institute at the Maine Department of Labor, 45 Commerce Drive in Augusta.
