Employees can access training according to their schedules while organizations can establish standardized training requirements for their workforce.

Online OSHA Training vs. Traditional Classroom Training

Traditional classroom training remains an important option for many organizations. However, online training provides significant advantages for organizations with geographically dispersed employees or employees working different shifts.

For many organizations, the best solution may be a combination of online education and hands-on or instructor-led training, depending on the specific OSHA requirement and workplace hazard.

OSHA Compliance: An Important Distinction

WASH believes employers should understand the difference between online safety education and specific OSHA training requirements.

Not every OSHA standard can be satisfied through an online course alone. Certain OSHA standards require hands-on instruction, site-specific training, qualified instructors, demonstrations, practical evaluation, or other requirements.

For this reason, employers should always determine the specific OSHA standard applicable to their workplace and the training requirements associated with that standard.

WASH online courses can serve as an important component of an organization’s overall safety training program, but employers remain responsible for determining and maintaining compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

OSHA Training for Small Businesses

Small businesses often face unique challenges when implementing workplace safety programs.

Limited staffing, multiple job responsibilities, and scheduling constraints can make traditional training difficult.

Online OSHA training provides a practical way for small businesses to provide employees with important workplace safety education while minimizing scheduling disruptions.

WASH can help small businesses establish a structured approach to employee safety training with online courses that can be incorporated into onboarding, annual training, refresher training, and ongoing employee development.

Employee Safety Training for New Hires

Online OSHA training can also be incorporated into your employee onboarding process.

Before beginning work, new employees can be assigned appropriate safety courses based on their position and workplace responsibilities.

A structured onboarding program can include:

1. General workplace safety orientation
2. OSHA and hazard awareness
3. Hazard Communication
4. PPE
5. Emergency procedures
6. Bloodborne Pathogens, when applicable
7. Fire Safety
8. Workplace Violence Awareness
9. Job-specific safety training
10. Additional site-specific training

This approach allows organizations to establish safety expectations from the beginning of an employee’s tenure.
