AASPMN and CHESS Team Up to Offer Members Safety Compliance Services
Complete Health, Environmental & Safety Services, Inc. (CHESS) offers AASP-MN members a 20 percent discount on the following services:
Right to Know (RTK)/Hazard Communication
Employees need to be trained on the hazards they will encounter when working in your shop. Those hazards include chemicals, noise and heat. You must train employees before they start work and annually. You must have a written program. CHESS’ Right to Know- Haz Comm written program and training guide is customized for your facility, whether you offer collision and/or mechanical repair. The written program and training guide is available exclusively to AASPMN members for $650.
Safety Data Sheet Management
As part of the Right to Know/Hazard Communication OSHA law, you must provide your employees’ access to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the products in your shop. CHESS’s SDSLinks, an online SDS management tool, makes them easy to find. CHESS also provides support 24/7 if you cannot locate one. SDSLinks is available exclusively to AASPMN members for $335 per year.
A Workplace Accident and Injury Reduction Program (AWAIR)
As of February 2020, you must have a program that outlines who has responsibility for safety, how safety is communicated (including how you manage a safety committee), how hazards are identified, how accidents are investigated, and how safety is enforced. Minnesota calls this an AWAIR program. AASPMN member discounted price: $795.
Safety Reminder Posters
OSHA has some regulations, such as walking and working surfaces and ladder use that require training. Keeping safety in front of employees on a regular basis is one way to help reduce injuries. CHESS will email you a poster on a different topic each month relating to safety issues found in your shop. You can post it or review it with employees in a shop meeting. The Safety Reminder Posters program is available exclusively to AASPMN members for $295 per year.
All of these services can be bundled for a fee of $1,800, with annual renewal of the SDSLinks and posters for $595. In addition, CHESS offers up to one hour of free phone consultation to any AASPMN member with safety or environmental questions.
