Hazard Communication Online Safety Training - UPDATED FOR 2012
This Hazard Communication 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 interrupted. Upon completion of the course, and a 100% score, the employee will then be able to print a certificate of completion.
