Course Instructions and Outline
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 the course material in each module. You may print the material to create a notebook. You can leave the training within any module at any time. Just come back to this course outline page and resume studying where you left off.
- Complete and submit each module quiz. You will receive a response web page with instant feedback on your answers. It's a good idea to print the feedback page to study for the final exam. If you have questions as you study, just send me an email.
- Take the next module. There is no need to wait! No hurry either. You are in control of the pace of learning.
- Complete and submit the final exam. The Final exam questions are derived from module quizzes. Study each quiz, and you will easily pass the exam.
Note: The training is free! If you decide you would like official credit and a course certificate, you must pass the final exam with at least a 70% score and pay a small administrative fee for the certificate at the OSHAcademyTM Store. If you intend to enroll in a Professional Development Program or order individual course certificates, let me know when you submit the exam. You should pay the Program Enrollment Fee as soon as you can to start receiving my replies to your exams.
OK, Let's go!
