Comprehensive Safety Awareness Training Course Bundle (Includes 97 Courses)

This bundle includes 97 courses, regularly priced at $12.95 each...now for only $69.99 total!

As asserted by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers must provide a safe and healthful workplace fro everyone. No one should ever have to be injured, become ill, or die for a paycheck.


The importance of training your employees – both new and experienced — cannot be overemphasized. Effective training of new employees results in employees who know what they’re doing, save time, have a good feeling about the company, and get off to a good start. Retraining of employees provides for continued "insurance" against accident and incidents.


To assist employers, safety and health professionals, training directors and others with a need to know, OSHA’s training-related General Awareness training courses have been collected in this online training bundle. Topical General Awareness Requirements for training are included in this group of courses as well as industry specific training.


Training in the safe way for workers to do their jobs well is an investment that will pay back over and over again in fewer injuries and illnesses, better morale, lower insurance premiums and more.


It is a good idea to keep a record of all safety and health training. Documentation can also supply an answer to one of the first questions an incident investigator will ask: “Did the employee receive adequate training to do the job?”


We offer:

  • Comprehensive General Awareness Training Curriculum for your firm's safety program.
  • One Purchase and you have a Comprehensive Safety Awareness Training Course Bundle that you can use to train multiple employees. 
  • An annual fixed cost per trainee for solid budget planning.

Anhydrous Ammonia Safety V2.6 Course

Anhydrous Ammonia is a clear, colorless gas at a standard temperature and pressure conditions and it is an important source of nitrogen fertilizer for crops.The improper handling of Anhydrous Ammonia can have catastrophic results on both plants and farm workers.Common injuries are severe burns to eyes, skin and the respiratory tract.

"Ammonia is considered a high health hazard because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and lungs. Exposure to 300 ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health. Ammonia is also flammable at concentrations of approximately 15% to 28% by volume in air. When mixed with lubricating oils, its flammable concentration range is increased. It can explode if released in an enclosed space with a source of ignition present, or if a vessel containing anhydrous ammonia is exposed to fire. Fortunately, ammonia has a low odor threshold (20 ppm), so most people will seek relief at much lower concentrations. Ammonia refrigeration is addressed in specific standards for the general industry."
