Why

Preventing injuries and illnesses in the workplace should be a key value for everyone at work. Most managers know that competent employees are valuable. Your business probably depends on them.

Creating, developing and conducting effective safety and health training helps employers:

• make sure employees are not injured or made ill by the work they do;
• develop a positive safety culture, where everyone values safety;
• analyze and evaluate safety performance to manage safety and health better;
• meet legal responsibilities to provide a safe and healthful workplace for employees.

Effective safety education and training:

• will help make your employees competent in working safely;
• can help the business avoid the negative consequences that accidents and ill health cause;
• can help the business reduce the direct and indirect accident costs, and improve the corporate bottom line.

In this training, we'll introduce you to an educational model that "fits" OSHA and ANSI requirements and evaluation criteria.

Later in the course, we'll also take a look at how to effectively evaluate the student and the training program using Kirkpatrick's Four Level Evaluation approach that is described in the ANSI/ASSE Z490.1 guidelines.

Information within this course is intended to apply to a broad range of safety training and training programs. Ultimately, the goal of this course and others is to help you prevent accidents. With this goal in mind, have fun and study hard on this informative online training course. Remember, if you have questions please feel free to send an email.

Course 703 Final Exam

After studying the course material and answering the quiz questions, it is time to take the final exam. We highly recommend answering the module quiz questions to check your understanding of the course material. The final exam questions are typically developed from these quiz questions.

OSHAcademy course final exams are designed to make sure students have gained a sufficient understanding of the content covered within each course. To help demonstrate this understanding, students must achieve a passing score on course final exams. It is OSHAcademy's policy to protect the integrity of our exams: as a result, we do not provide missed questions to students.

This is an open book exam. Students are permitted to use a separate browser window to review course content while taking the exam. If you do not pass a final exam, you will see a "Retake Exam" button next to the course on your student dashboard.

If you have already paid for your certificate

If you have already paid for certificates, your exam score will be displayed on your student dashboard after successfully passing the final exam. If you chose PDF certificates, you can view and print your certificate and personal transcript from your student dashboard. If you chose original printed documents, they will be prepared and mailed to the address in your student account.

If you only want free training

OSHAcademy provides free access to all training materials, including course modules, practice quizzes, exercises, and final exams. However, exam scores, certificates, and transcripts are provided only if you purchase a certificate package to document your training. If you do not require official training documentation, we will archive your exam results should you decide to purchase official certificates later.
