Online Training

Our extensive library of training tools has been developed to help your agency communicate effectively with all employees about workplace safety and related risk management policies and procedures.

We are constantly adding and improving features of our online program. Many of our improvements and new features are suggestions from our users and administrators. Online training has been designed as a tiered management and control system, starting with users, department managers, and agency administrator and finally in a multi-agency setting such as a JPA, a senior administrator.

Most of the online training courses have been approved by the California Water Environment Association (CWEA) for contact hour credit for CWEA professional certification requirements. Certificates of Completion for courses approved by the CWEA will show the contact hour credit and CWEA approval code.

In-Person Training Online Management
 
Continuing with our theme of helping agencies manage and meet their compliance and training needs, the In-person Training tool will allow agencies to manage, track and document in-person training as if it is an online training course. With this tool, your employee in-person training is documented and managed in the same database as your online training records. Users and department managers can view past, currently due and future scheduled in-person training courses.
 
New Employee Training Requirements Advisor
 
Use this tool to identify the specific training requirements for your new or existing employees based on their job duties, equipment and hire date.
 
Accurate and documented training of employees has become very important since Assembly Bill 1127 approved the use of CalOSHA regulations and citations to be used in civil courts to establish an employer's negligence..  This tool will guide the user, using plain English questions, through a point and click process that will determine whether or not over 50 different regulations apply to a particular employee or job title.
 
Since CalOSHA’s training requirements also include a mandate that employer's train employees on the equipment and tasks they are to perform, this tool lists over 150 pieces of equipment that the user can select.  Finally, recognizing that every organization has unique equipment, processes, and policies, this tool allows the user to enter organization-specific information, as well.
