Loading ...Online Safety Training Courses: Bogus or Beneficial?
This past week I have been invited to several different online training courses. The OSHA Training courses provide safety training for almost everything. Alas, I am hesitant to fork over the dough for a couple different reasons, but I don’t want my fear of the unknown to hamper a potentially good thing!
So we are looking for people and businesses that have actually used different online training sites. We want to know about the good, the bad and the ugly. If you have had good experiences, we want to know!
I do think it’s relevant to point out that it’s not just online businesses that we need to research, there are trainers that do onsite OSHA training that are bogus. Currently, that is an issue coming up in New York. After the high number of construction deaths this past year (19) and injuries (181), the city has started requiring anyone working 15 stories or higher on a building to take the OSHA 10 training course by July 2009. However, reporters have discovered this “training” has been less than stellar. One class they infiltrated had a little over 2 hours of actual teaching time once “beer breaks” were factored in. Some industry experts say, “…classes are often a joke… insiders have noted a rise in bogus training.”
What are you noticing out there?
