This Hand and Power Tool online safety training course is convenient and easy to use. Individual employees can train at a time that is convenient for them, at their own pace. The system automatically tracks their progress in the course along with any completed quiz scores and bookmarks the learner’s place to make it easy to resume training if training is interupted. Upon completion of the course, and a 100% score, the employee will then be able to print a certificate of completion.
Employers no longer need to pull large groups of employees off the job to complete their safety training.

Meet compliance-based safety requirements
Reduce risks of accidents and injury on and off the job
Lower insurance premiums, workers compensation claims and lost work hours
