🚨 OSHA Reminder: Required Workplace Poster Update 🚨

OSHA recently reinforced an important message:

“We want every worker to know that OSHA cares about their wellbeing and is here to help ensure that they go home safe — whether by addressing concerns, providing resources, or offering compliance assistance to employers.”

All employers covered under OSHA are required to display the official Job Safety and Health – It’s the Law poster in their workplace. OSHA has released an updated version of the poster, which employers may now download or order directly from their website.

📌 Important Note:
Employers may either display the new version or continue using the prior version currently posted.

This is a simple compliance item — but an important one. The poster serves as a visible reminder of employee rights and employer responsibilities under the OSH Act.

If you’re unsure whether your postings are current or compliant, CS2 Safety is here to help review your workplace posting requirements and overall compliance program.

🚀 Building a Safer Ohio — One Connection at a Time! 🦺🤝

We’re in Central Ohio today at the New Albany Chamber of Commerce Ohio Multi-Chamber Business After Hours event — and what an outstanding evening of energy, collaboration, and meaningful conversation!

Events like this are more than just networking. They bring together business leaders, manufacturers, contractors, service providers, and community partners from across the region to build relationships that strengthen Ohio’s economy. 🇺🇸

For us at Coia Safety & Consultative Services LLC, this is exactly where safety leadership belongs, in the room, at the table, and part of the business conversation.

While many know us for our work in Northeast Ohio, our safety services extend across the entire state. We’re here because our mission is bigger than geography:

➡️ Strengthen safety culture
➡️ Improve compliance and operational excellence
➡️ Reduce risk and protect Ohio’s workforce

From fractional safety management and OSHA compliance support to custom training programs and safety culture development — we’re ready to partner with organizations throughout Ohio that want to move from reactive to proactive safety leadership.

Tons of great local businesses here tonight. It’s been a pleasure connecting with so many professionals who care about doing things the right way. 👏

If you’re in Central Ohio and want to elevate your safety program in 2026, let’s connect.

🚧 STOP CHECKING THE BOX. START CHANGING THE CULTURE. 🚧

Most safety training follows a script.

Ours starts with a blank sheet of paper.

Recently, we delivered a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training that looked very different from the typical slideshow-and-lecture format.

We paired employees into small groups and asked them to draw what they believe workers should wear in their facility.

Not what policy says.
Not what management says.
Not “what we’ve always done.”

But what they see based on the hazards they face every day.

What happened next is where the real value emerged:

✅ Employees identified hazards
✅ We connected hazards to proper PPE
✅ Gaps in the PPE hazard assessment surfaced
✅ Conversations about risk, comfort, and practicality followed

This wasn’t just compliance training.

This was problem-solving.
This was engagement.
This was culture-building.

Because when employees help shape the discussion, safety stops being “management’s program” and starts becoming everyone’s responsibility.

At CS2 Safety, we don’t deliver cookie-cutter training.

We build company-specific learning experiences that:

✔ Address real hazards
✔ Strengthen safety programs
✔ Improve hazard assessments
✔ Drive employee involvement
✔ Reinforce safety culture

Because effective training shouldn’t just satisfy a requirement…

👉 It should create awareness
👉 It should spark discussion
👉 It should drive improvement

If your safety training feels repetitive, predictable, or disconnected from reality…

Let’s change that.

🚧🎤 Grateful. Energized. Inspired. 🎤🚧

Huge shout-out and thank you to ABC Ohio Valley Chapter & Mid-America OSHA Education Center for inviting me to be part of their 23rd Annual Safety Day. It was a truly record-breaking event for safety professionals across Ohio and the Midwest. 👏

We kicked off the morning with hands-on training focused on “Finding Facts, Not Fault” helping construction companies strengthen near-miss reporting and incident investigation systems so they drive learning, not blame. 🛠️📊

At lunch, I had the honor of keynoting on “Does Complacency Cultivate Risk in the Workplace?” challenging leaders to look beyond procedures and focus on human behavior, normalization of risk, and cultural drift on our jobsites. ⚠️🧠

Events like this are a reminder of how much great safety work is happening across Ohio and throughout the U.S., and how powerful it is when organizations invest in both practical training and thought-provoking keynotes to move safety culture forward.

Thank you to everyone who attended, engaged, asked tough questions, and shared real-world experiences. This is how we raise the bar together.

👉 If your conference, safety day, leadership retreat, or company event is looking for:
• Engaging keynote presentations
• Practical construction-focused training
• Content that goes beyond compliance and drives culture

Let’s connect. I’d love to be part of your next event.

🔥 Two Days. One Team. A Stronger Safety Culture. 🔥

What an amazing two-day experience facilitating an OSHA 10 – General Industry class with the incredible team at COLTENE in Cuyahoga Falls!

From the moment I walked through the door, it was clear this was a company that truly walks the talk when it comes to employee safety and health. These two days were packed with 💬 meaningful conversations, 📚 practical education, 🤝 collaboration, and a shared commitment to making workplaces safer and cultures stronger from the inside out.

Our OSHA 10 facilitation goes well beyond slides:
• 🧠 Interactive classroom discussions
• 🛠️ Hands-on labs & demonstrations
• 🏭 Real-world reviews of company-specific equipment and programs
• 🔍 Open dialogue focused on how safety actually works in your environment

A huge shoutout to David Costantino and Matt Kelly for assisting with facilitation. It was great to work alongside an old coworker and friend—and equally great to welcome Matt to the team as part of our facilitation group. Teamwork like this is what elevates training from good to impactful. 💪

👏 Special recognition to Colten for continuing to invest in their people and taking proactive steps to strengthen an already solid safety culture. This is how real, sustainable change happens.

👉 Interested in hosting an OSHA 10 class at your facility? Reach out to us, we’d be glad to schedule a session tailored to your team and your operations.
