Train to Retain

If you’ve been looking for easy-to-use, high-quality click-and-train computer-based safety training, look no more. You’ve found it right here! So rest easy.

Your employees will retain what they learn from these attractive and easy-to-understand training sessions.

Safety Training Presentations gets you off to a good start with 25 core PowerPoint safety presentations, each one responsive to either an OSHA training requirement or to common causes of workplace accidents. All are customizable, so you can add your specific hazards or safety policies.

The word Presentations in the program name is plural for 25 reasons: There are 25 separate PowerPoint prewritten safety meetings, every one responsive to either an OSHA training requirement or the topic that is a key cause of accidents. All are customizable so you can add your specific hazards or safety policies. There are Safety Training Presentations on:

• Back Safety
• Bloodborne Pathogens
• Electrical Safety
• Emergency Action
• Ergonomics
• Fire Prevention
• PPE
• Welding/Cutting/Brazing
• Portable Power Tool Safety
• Scaffolds
• Hazard Communication
• Lockout/Tagout
• Forklift Operator Safety
• Confined Space Safety
• Fall Protection
• Respiratory Protection

Each lesson also includes interactive exercises, quizzes, completion certificates, sign-in sheets, evaluation forms, and training records. In short, each presents everything you need to motivate, reinforce, retain, and transfer new knowledge, and document that you did. You can see samples of some of the materials by clicking on the links below.

Of course, training needs change as OSHA introduces new requirements, or new work practices and technology bring new hazards. To cover this, you receive a new CD every 90 days you’re in the program, each containing five additional topics. Just as important, for those on a budget (and who isn’t these days?), the cost of these presentations averages under $20 each.

We’ve arranged for Advisor subscribers to get a no-cost, no-obligation look at Safety Training Presentations for 30 days. Feel free to try a few lessons with your own trainees. Click here and we’ll be glad to arrange it.
