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.


Where does OSHA look first? Training!

image The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 does not address specifically the responsibility of employers to provide health and safety information and instruction to employees, although Section 5(a)(2) does require that each employer “. . . shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.” However, more than 100 of the Act's current standards do contain training requirements. This course is designed to help students gain a greater understanding of the basic of OSH training.
This is the second course in the new OSHAcademy Train-The-Safety-Trainer Series (under development). The new series will include:
  1. 703 - Introduction to OSH Training
  2. 721 - Developing OSH Training
  3. 723 - Conducting OSH Training (under development)
  4. 724 - Evaluating OSH Training (under development)
Information within this course is intended to apply to a broad range of safety training and training programs. Ultimately, the goal of this course and others is to help you prevent accidents. With this goal in mind, have fun and study hard on this informative online training course. Remember, if you have questions please free to send an email.
