This "Train-the-Trainer" program is designed to help students gain the
knowledge and skills necessary to conduct occupational safety and health training for their employer.
This program includes training program requirements, how to develop effective training, and best practices
for presenting safety and health training. This program also covers important safety and health concepts
every trainer needs to know.
The student's presentation skills should be evaluated locally by a training
manager, competent person, or the student's employer.
Please review the program FAQs or contact our office if you have questions
regarding safety trainer qualifications and requirements.
If you are currently a safety trainer or are planning on becoming one, you are likely already great at
helping others and are passionate about helping them learn their responsibilities. By completing this
program, you will be able to:
Build upon your current skills.
Improve your presentation abilities.

Business Benefits
Individuals who are responsible for conducting training within an organization can conduct training all
they want, but that does not mean the training will be effective. When you require all safety trainers within
your organization to take this program, you will be able to:
Ensure management's safety standards are effectively communicated to all employees.
Educate trainers about how to influence positive action.
Empower employees to work in a safe manner in order to reach organizational goals.
Because trainers are the bridge between management and employees, it is vital they have the tools
and knowledge to be effective.
This online training program is designed for safety trainers or other individuals responsible for
ensuring employees know how to work in a safe manner.
This program also benefits individuals seeking to reach their career goal of becoming a safety
trainer. This program helps you develop the essential skills you will need for your future job as a
safety trainer.
There are several safety positions with different levels of responsibility in an Occupational Safety and
Health career path. Each advancing level typically requires higher levels of experience, education, and knowledge and
skills in leadership, business practices, safety and health, and communication and information technology.
OSHAcademy wants to help our students who want to learn about these career opportunities. This PDF brochure
will take a look five different positions at the typical qualifications, duties and education required for each
position.

"Last year I took the 36-Hour OSH Trainer Program and was so pleased with both the content and quality
of the program that I recommended it to some of my co-workers. Since then, I know of three others that have
taken the program and all voice similar comments. As a regional safety manager and trainer for our company,
this year we made the completion of your program a mandatory benchmark for our safety officers. Anyone
conducting training for our organization must complete this program. The free program and reasonable cost
for the certificates make it a 'no-brainer' for any company wanting to ensure its trainers have received
quality instruction and training in the 'How To' of safety training. Thanks again for providing this
fantastic service to the safety profession." Rick M., USA

of the course content. After submitting their quiz answers, students receive immediate feedback. Quiz results are not recorded
and can be taken multiple times.
Course Exam
After studying the course material and taking the module quizzes, students can take the course exam. The course exam
is designed to test the students understanding of the course material. Course exams are composed of multiple choice questions
selected from our extensive question bank.
Exam Characteristics
Students have two hours to complete the course exam.
The exam is open book. You can use your notes or the study guide to help answer questions as needed.
You must achieve a minimum score of 70% to pass the exam.
If you do not pass the exam, you may retake the exam.
Students are only allowed to take an exam three (3) times within a 48-hour period.
After the third attempt, students must wait 48 hours before attempting the exam again. During
this time, students should review the course material to improve their understanding.
If you pass the exam, you may not retake the exam to raise your score.
Like most safety training, our certificates "certify" you have completed a formal course of study.
OSHAcademy certificates do not certify you as a "qualified" safety professional or trainer. And,
of course, OSHA does not "certify" anyone as a qualified safety professional either.
In the USA, to be "certified" as a qualified safety professional you need to meet experience
and educational requirements and successfully pass an exam from a credentialing organization
like the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (www.bcsp.com) or the Institute for Safety
and Health Management (www.ishm.org).
The BCSP offers The Certified Environmental, Safety, and Health Trainer (CET) certification.
This is a certification for professional trainers.
In order to become an OSHA Authorized Trainer you must meet OSHA's specific requirements.
Please review OSHA's How to Become an Authorized Trainer page for more information.
Only OSHA Authorized Trainers can issue OSHA completion cards for their students. Please contact OSHA for more information about their Authorized Trainer requirements.
To be certified by the employer as a qualified safety trainer, employees should:
Have knowledge of and experience in the subject being taught;
Complete a "Train-the-Trainer" course, and;
Have their knowledge and presentation skills evaluated by a competent person.
This "Train-the-Trainer" program is designed to help students gain the knowledge and skills
necessary to conduct occupational safety and health training for their employer. Completion of
the course demonstrates the student has acquired the knowledge about training program requirements,
development and presentation. It also helps the student gain knowledge about various safety and
health topics.
The student's presentation skills should be evaluated locally by a training manager
or other competent person.
