Online Workplace Training

Each year OSHA publishes a list of the most frequently cited violations in the US.  Our short courses listed below are designed to inform students of those hazards and how to avoid injuries.  These courses are a small example of training courses offered. The courses can be taken individually or in group settings. 

All courses can be incorporated into our Learning Management System (LMS) that allows clients to enroll employees in classes, monitor their progress and completion rates.
