By profession
For new hires, young workers and anyone who needs a clear safety overview: spot hazards, choose the right fix, use PPE, handle emergencies and report without fear.
For: New hires, young workers, temporary and seasonal staff, and anyone who needs a practical overview of workplace safety in general industry
Learn the safety basics every US worker should know on day one. You will see what the injury numbers really show, what the Occupational Safety and Health Act requires of your employer and of you, how to spot hazards, and how to pick the most effective fix using the hierarchy of controls. You will also practice reading safety signs and tags, choosing and caring for personal protective equipment (PPE), responding to emergencies such as heat stroke, and reporting injuries and near misses.
The course is built for new hires, young workers, temporary staff and anyone moving into a warehouse, store, kitchen, plant, hotel or outdoor job who wants a practical overview. Every module follows real people in real US workplaces, from a distribution center in Idaho to a grocery deli in Virginia, and asks you to make the calls they faced.
This is awareness training tied to the exact federal rules: the General Duty Clause, 29 CFR 1910 standards on PPE, signs, emergency plans and first aid, and the 29 CFR 1904 reporting rules. It is not OSHA Outreach (10- or 30-hour) training and does not issue an OSHA card. You leave with four job aids your workplace can use right away: a Job Hazard Analysis template, a hazard walk-through checklist, an incident report form and a training sign-off record.

This course awards a certificate of completion for 1.5 contact hours of instruction. It has not been approved or accredited by OSHA, any State Plan, IACET, any licensing board or any other accreditor, and it is not OSHA Outreach Training Program (10- or 30-hour) training; it does not issue an OSHA card. It is general awareness training. OSHA standards require your employer to add site-specific training on your own hazards, equipment, PPE and emergency procedures, and some tasks, such as forklift operation, require hands-on practical training and an evaluation. Check with your employer or safety program whether this course can count toward your training records.
Pathways we are pursuing or may pursue include IACET accreditation of our course development process. No approval exists today; any approval will be shown on this page only after it is granted.
Our full approvals listNo. This is a 1.5-hour awareness course. Only OSHA-authorized trainers in the OSHA Outreach Training Program can deliver 10- or 30-hour Outreach training and issue the cards that go with it. This course gives you a certificate of completion showing the contact hours you completed. It is a strong foundation, but it does not replace Outreach training if your employer or a contract requires it.
Not on its own. Many OSHA standards require training that is specific to your workplace: your exits and alarms, your PPE, your chemicals and your equipment. Some tasks, such as forklift operation, also need hands-on practice and an evaluation. Use this course for the general foundation and ask your employer to add the site-specific parts. The included training sign-off record helps document both.
New hires, young workers, temporary and seasonal staff, and anyone who wants a clear, practical overview of workplace safety in general industry settings such as warehouses, retail, food production, hospitality, maintenance and outdoor work. Supervisors may find it useful for onboarding, though a separate course covers safety management responsibilities in depth.
It teaches the federal rules that apply everywhere and explains how State Plans work. If you work in a State Plan state, your state may add requirements, for example on heat or workplace violence. The course shows you how to check which agency covers your workplace and reminds you to ask your employer about any state-specific rules.
The course is designed for 1.5 contact hours, including six short modules, interactive exercises and a 17-question final assessment with a pass mark of 80%. When you pass, you receive a certificate of completion and four downloadable job aids: a Job Hazard Analysis template, a hazard walk-through checklist, an incident report form and a training sign-off record.
