Free Safety Training
I just found the OSHAcademy Safety Training Network, which offers free online safety training. It was created by Steven Geigle who is a a 16-year veteran Senior Safety Education and Training Specialist previously with Oregon OSHA. Several years ago I took several online courses through Oregon OSHA for which Steve was the instructor. The courses were excellent as was Steve as the instructor.
The OSHAcademy web site offers workbooks, audits, sermons, notes and safety books in addition to the free safety courses. The safety courses are freely available for anyone to take. If you need a course certificate there is a $14.95 fee.
Don't expect these courses to be something you can just breeze through and then "purchase" a certificate. Steve is serious about safety. These are serious courses that are detailed, comprehensive and they use effective teaching techniques. Currently 15 topics are covered by the online courses.
Course 700: Introduction to Safety Management
Course 701: Effective Safety Committees
Course 702: Effective Accident Investigation
Course 703: Train the Safety Trainer
Course 704: Hazard Analysis and Control
Course 705: Hazard Communication Program
Course 706: Conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
Course 707: Effective Safety Committee Meetings
Course 708: OSHA 300 Recordkeeping
Course 709: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Course 711: Introduction to Ergonomics
Course 712: Safety Supervision and Leadership
Course 716: Safety Management System Evaluation
