Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the course. I'm Steve Geigle and I'll be your online instructor for this course. If you are a safety manager, supervisor, committee member, or someone who is getting into the occupational safety and health field, this course will help you understand your important responsibilities.

Here's how it works (Read this... it's important!)

1. Study each course module. Just click on the course "Modules" tab above to get started. It take about 30 minutes to one hour to complete each module, including the quiz.

2. Complete each module quiz. Each quiz is 5-10 questions. When you submit the quiz, a new web page will load with instant feedback on your answers. After you complete the quiz, start on the next module. There is no need to wait! No hurry either. You are in control of the pace of learning.
   If you have questions as you study, just send me an email.

3. Order a certificate. Optional If you want certification of training, order a certificate. The fee is only $11.95 for a emailed PDF certificate or $20 plus shipping plus shipping for a mailed original certificate. The fee covers my exam review, course certificate preparation, and maintenance of your student records.
   Go to the OSHAcademy Store to pay for the course certificate. Tip: You will save up to 50% in course fees if you enroll in a Professional Development Certificate Program.

4. Complete and submit the final course exam.
   • Final exams are 20 questions.
   • To meet OSHA requirements, you must pass the final exam with at least a 70% score.
   • If you do not pass the exam, you may retake the exam.
   • If you pass the exam, you may not retake the exam just to raise your score.
   • Most final exam questions are derived from module quizzes.
OK, Let's go!
Have fun and study hard. To start, just click on "Introduction" tab above.

Statistics tell it all!

Each year in the U.S., 70,000-80,000 workplaces experience a serious fire. Property losses from workplace fires exceed $2 Billion annually. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries Charts, 1992-2007, fires and explosions accounted for 3% of workplace fatalities in 2007.

Fire safety becomes everyone's job at a worksite. Employers should train workers about fire hazards in the workplace and about what to do in a fire emergency. If you want your workers to evacuate, you should train them on how to escape. If you expect your workers to use firefighting equipment, you should give them appropriate equipment and train them to use the equipment safely.

This course provides valuable reference materials for prevention of fire-related injuries in all workplaces.
