In a significant step toward improving workplace safety, the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) has collaborated with global tech leader SafetyCulture. They now offer a new series of mobile-accessible training courses. This initiative keeps frontline workers informed about federal safety and health standards through brief, accessible sessions.
Traditional compliance training often involved long classroom sessions. Now, ASSP and SafetyCulture’s mobile training courses can be completed on-site in just 15 minutes. These courses are ideal for today’s dynamic work settings. “We are putting essential safety and health courses directly into the pockets of workers nationwide,” said Mary Goranson, ASSP’s vice president of workforce development. “This user-friendly approach enables employers to provide refresher training. It helps our Society reach more workers with crucial safety information. Ultimately, it reduces injuries, illnesses, and fatalities on the job.”
The 27 new courses address vital safety topics such as fall protection, machine guarding, heat stress, hazard communication, and respiratory protection. These courses adhere to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Workers stay informed about essential safety protocols. The objective transforms traditional compliance training into an accessible and highly interactive experience. It works even for remote workers.
Targeted Training for High-Risk Industries
These courses focus on safety professionals and workers who have completed their OSHA DOL Card. It also targets those who received OSHA training over a year ago. This group includes carpenters, electricians, plumbers, welders, masons, and other tradespeople. They need advanced workplace safety knowledge. ASSP and SafetyCulture aim to address the unique risks faced by those in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
“Enhancing the impact and accessibility of training is a key focus for us,” said Mike Welch, managing director of SafetyCulture Training. “Our collaboration with ASSP allows us to utilize our mobile technology. We offer high-quality courses that frontline workers need to handle common job-site hazards.”
A New Era in Safety Training
The introduction of these mobile training courses signifies a major change in workplace safety education. The ASSP and SafetyCulture partnership harnesses cutting-edge technology. They make high-quality safety training more accessible, efficient, and effective. With these courses available on any mobile device, workers easily stay updated on critical safety information regardless of location.
The ASSP and SafetyCulture collaboration represents a transformative moment in workplace safety training. By delivering essential safety courses via mobile technology, they make compliance training more convenient. They significantly help reduce workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
