Free Online OSHA Training
I've mentioned OSHAcademy in a previous post a long time ago. But this online safety training is so good I thought I should mention i t again... and besides it's free!
OSHAcademy online courses are developed by Steven Geigle. I took many of his online safety courses when he was with the OR-OSHA, and they were excellent. He has brought those same courses to OSHAcademy, plus added many new ones.
All of OSHAcademy safety courses are free. There is a small fee if you wish to get a certificate to verify course completion. You may study online or print each module, study the material off-line, and then return to submit module quiz. The simple format, ability to study anytime and anywhere, online or off-line, with opportunity to communicate with a real instructor gives you complete control of the study process.
The following are some of the courses that are offered:
Course 700: Introduction to Safety Management Eight modules.
Course 701: Effective Safety Committees Eight modules.
Course 702: Effective Accident Investigation Eight Modules.
Course 703: Train the Safety Trainer Eleven modules.
Course 704: Hazard Analysis and Control Seven modules.
Course 705: Hazard Communication Program Six modules.
Course 706: Conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Six modules.
Course 707: Effective Safety Committee Meetings Seven modules.
Course 708: OSHA 300 Recordkeeping Seven modules.
Course 709: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Seven modules.
Course 711: Introduction to Ergonomics Five modules.
Course 712: Safety Supervision and Leadership Eight modules.
Course 716: Safety Management System Evaluation Twelve Modules
Course 720: Preventing Workplace Violence Eight modules.
Course 722: Ergonomics Program Management Eight modules.

The biggest advatage of OSHA Course is that it covers pre-dominant activity by providing module on "Hazzard".But it seems that the course has been made very lengthy while Australian Institutions,naming the course as Workplace Health & safety, teaches it very simply:One core module for 4 days and one elective module out of the alternative varies in 2,3 days.So simple.
