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 this... it's important!)
  1. Pay the course fee. Not required for free training. The course fee is only $8 for a emailed PDF certificate, $18 for a mailed original certificate, or $24 if you want both. The fee covers the certificates, transcripts, my exam evaluations, and maintenance of your student records.

    Go to the OSHAcademy Store to pay for the course. Tip: You will save over 50% in course fees if you enroll in a Professional Development Certificate Program.

  2. Study each course module. Just click on the links below. Note: If you enroll in a Professional Development Certificate Program, you will also receive PDF Study Guides for each course. You may leave the training within any module at any time. Just come back to this course outline page and resume studying where you left off.

  3. Complete each module quiz. The quiz link is at the bottom of each module page. 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. Remember, if you have questions as you study, just send me an email.

  4. Complete and submit the final course exam. Final exams are 25 questions. To meet OSHA requirements, you may have three attempts to pass the course final exam with at least a 70% score. Most final exam questions are derived from module quizzes. Study each quiz, and you will easily pass the exam.
OK, Let's go!

Have fun and study hard. To start, just click on the course links below. Remember, if you have questions, just send me an email.
