2026-01-22 14:00 - 15:00, 2026-01-28 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual, Online
We are pleased to announce upcoming training on OSHA’s Form 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, requirements. These two identical webinars provide a clear, practical overview of the form rules including what to post, where to post it, and when. We’ll walk through the form’s purpose and its required elements including the key responsibilities for employers, certification requirements, and common compliance pitfalls to avoid.
Why is this important?
The government requires that OSHA’s Form 300A be posted in your facility from February 1 through April 30 in a visible location for employees to see. It summarizes the total number and types of work-related injuries and illnesses, enabling both employers and employees to recognize workplace safety trends.

2026 FRMS Risk Control Webinar Series: Self-Care in the Face of Cumulative Trauma - Current Events
2026-02-11 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual, Online
A person does not have to be the victim of an extreme event to experience trauma. When a person’s sense of safety and security is impacted, there is potential for a trauma response. In addition, when a person experiences trauma within multiple contexts, the impact is exponentially powerful. This presentation will help attendees recognize possible reactions to distressing events, especially those that are currently impacting many of us (directly and indirectly) due to societal issues. In addition, attendees will learn what self-care is, learn grounding methods to combat traumatic events and recognize the different effort levels of self-care techniques and how to apply them.
