This week Dr. Martin and James tackle the uncomfortable question most safety pros avoid: can you actually defend your training program when OSHA shows up?

Drawing from thousands of field assessments where only 5% of contractors meet OSHA training standards, they reveal the critical gaps between checkbox compliance and programs that hold up under scrutiny. From the OSHA 10/30 misconception costing companies six figures to the 2 minutes 56 seconds of lockout/tagout training that won't survive an inspection, these are the training failures putting your workers and company at risk right now.

Inside the Episode:

• Why OSHA 10/30 cards don't satisfy a single OSHA standard requirement (and what actually counts as training)
• The three components of competency-based training most online courses miss: classroom + hands-on + performance evaluation
• How to conduct a training needs assessment using OSHA Publication 2254 that actually protects your workers
