Revolutionizing Workplace Safety: Updated On-Site Training Program for Frontline Workers

Robert Yaniz Jr., the Content Editor of Occupational Health & Safety, is excited to announce a new collaboration between the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) and global technology firm SafetyCulture. This partnership has led to the creation of updated safety and health training for frontline workers that can be completed on-site within just 15 minutes using mobile devices.

Mary Goranson, ASSP’s Vice President of Workforce Development, expressed excitement about the initiative, stating that essential safety and health courses are now easily accessible for workers across the country. The user-friendly experience allows employers to provide refresher training while enabling the Society to reach more workers with vital safety information that can prevent injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.

The partnership has resulted in the creation of 27 new courses that are designed to align with OSHA standards. These courses aim to make compliance training widely accessible and highly interactive, even in remote locations. Topics covered include fall protection, machine guarding, heat stress, hazard communication, and respiratory protection. The brief refresher sessions are targeted towards workers in high-risk industries like construction and manufacturing, where adherence to federal regulations is essential for safety.

The training material is now accessible on SafetyCulture’s online platform with a free account. Organizations can deliver refresher courses directly to their teams’ mobile devices for easy accessibility on-the-go.
