• OSHA Safety and Health Management Systems for Small Businesses (SHMS)—http://www.ies.ncsu.edu/safetyhealthmgmt
  N.C. State University offers an online SHMS program, which will be FREE online until April 2007. Developed by NCSU and funded in part by a Susan Harwood grant from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), this program is designed to help small- and medium-sized businesses develop and implement an effective and inexpensive safety and health management system. These businesses oftentimes do not have an adequate work force or financial resources to implement an effective SHMS. Now, any size business can invest in safety and minimize workplace risks and the costs and injuries associated with them. This FREE classroom-quality, self-instructional training program on Safety and Health Management Systems for Small Businesses can help businesses implement an SHMS that: is easy to develop, is inexpensive, can usually be done in-house, reflects the business' way of doing business, and is based on specific needs of the business' workplace.
