    Required Employer Postings (A-SAF-013)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. When employees are working safely and your facility is well-maintained, everyone is more productive and adds value to your business.  

    OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

    OSHA requires that employers post certain notices informing employees of the protections and obligations provided for in the Occupational Safety & Health Act.  OSHA requires all employers to report accidents, display the required postings, and to comply with OSHA standards.

    OSHA also requires non-exempt employers of 11 or more persons to maintain records of occupational injuries and illnesses and to post the accident and incident summaries.

    Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety (A-SAF-021)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Compressed gases are quite common in most workplaces. Although most people assume that compressed gases refer to high pressure cylinders such as those used in welding, compressed gases also include pressurized aerosol cans (e.g., lubricating oils, electronics dusters).

    Gases may be pressurized, dissolved in solution, liquefied or refrigerated (cryogenic).  In addition to the obvious chemical hazards, there are also potential exposures to the mechanical hazards associated with gases including pressure and temperature.


    Jump Starting Vehicles (A-SAF-026)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    When jump-starting a vehicle, it is possible be seriously injured or cause severe damage to a vehicle if it is not done properly.  Most vehicles have a lead acid starter battery that contains sulfuric acid and can release hydrogen gas during normal charging and discharging cycles.

    Therefore, it is important to know how to properly jump-start the vehicle to prevent injury or damage to persons or property.


    Ladder Safety (A-SAF-027)
    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    The objectives of this Web-Based Training Program on Portable Ladders are to:

    • Describe OSHA’s standards for portable ladders;

    Lock-out/Tag-out (Hazardous Energy Control) (A-SAF-029)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    This training program is intended to familiarize employers and employees with the requirements of the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (or OSHA’s) requirements for applying lock-out/tag-out procedures to control hazardous energy during service and maintenance of equipment or machinery.

    This course is not intended to replace or to supplement OSHA’s standards for the control of hazardous energy.


    Machine Guarding (A-SAF-030)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Exposure to unguarded or improperly guarded machinery is all too common in many workplaces.  

    On average, more than 18,000 injuries and more than 800 deaths occur annually in the United States as a result of amputations, lacerations, crushing injuries or abrasions from these exposures.


    Noise Exposure Control Plans (A-SAF-031)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Approximately 15 percent of Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 (or 26 million Americans) have hearing loss that may have been caused by exposure to noise at work or in leisure activities.

    Noise Induced Hearing Loss (or NIHL) can be caused by a one-time exposure to an intense “impulse” sound, such as an explosion, or by continuous exposure to loud sounds over an extended period of time, such as noise generated in a woodworking shop.


    This course will focus on safe work practices and the correct use, maintenance, inspection and storage of personal protective equipment (or PPE). This course contains several short learning modules, including General Requirements, Training and the specific requirements for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), other than Respiratory Protective Equipment which is addressed in a separate training program, A-SAF-033.

    Respiratory Protective Equipment (A-SAF-033)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022


    Housekeeping (A-SAF-035)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Tire Safety (A-SAF-040)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Improperly mounted or overinflated tires can explode, producing flying debris, which can serious injury or even death.  In addition, serious injury or death can occur from electric shock, damaged tools or flying debris, pinch points or from other hazard energy (e.g., inertia).

    Hand & Powered Tool Safety (A-SAF-041)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Hand and powered tools are essential in most workplaces, even in some office environments.  Whether it is a hammer, a cordless drill, or a pneumatically powered concrete saw, tools make our jobs easier.  But, they can also be dangerous and cause serious injuries or even death if they are not properly used or maintained.

    Serious injuries resulting from improper use or maintenance of hand and powered tools are all too common in many workplaces.  One report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that, on average, more than 67,000 workers suffer from blade contact injuries alone, resulting in 33,000 emergency room visits, more than 4000 amputations, and more than $2.3 billion in associated medical costs.


    Violence in the Workplace (A-SAF-043)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    This training program is intended to familiarize employers and employees with the requirements of the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (or OSHA’s) General Duty Clause to ensure a safe and healthful workplace. 

    Control of Hazardous Energy (A-SAF-045)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    AGM Battery Safety (A-SAF-049)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Absorbed glass mat (or AGM) batteries, also known as sealed lead acid (or SLA) batteries, are batteries in which an electrolyte is absorbed onto a specially designed polyester or fiberglass mat. 

    This course is designed to help managers and workers at automotive dealerships and repair facilities to work safely when handling, storing, and charging Absorbed Glass Mat (or AGM) batteries. 

    The course includes reviews the pros and cons of using AGM batteries, briefly discusses other types of batteries, and summarizes the safety and health hazards presented by AGM batteries, and discusses how to address those hazards. 


    Back Safety (A-SAF-051)

    Version 01.2022 - Content current as of 01 January 2022

    Back injuries may result from a single traumatic event, or over a period of time as a result of repetitive injury and strain.  Acute back injuries often result from improper lifting techniques and/or lifting loads that are too heavy for the back to support.  

    However, the acute injury is often brought on by the slow and progressive onset of trauma caused by repetitive stresses where the symptoms have been ignored. In many cases, these traumatic injuries may have been preventable.

    Back injuries, particularly, acute disabling injuries, account for a significant loss in workplace productivity and costs associated with workers compensation claims.  The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that back injuries may affect as many as 600,000 people, and cost as much as $50 billion per year, since 1991. 


    Management & Transportation of Hazardous & Universal Wastes (ENV-0725)

    This course is intended as an initial training program for those persons who are responsible for the management and transportation of hazardous wastes.
