Hand and Power Tool Safety Training (OSHA)

Hand and power tools make work faster and more precise, and almost every trade depends on them. When a tool is damaged, poorly guarded, or used the wrong way, the results can include deep cuts, crushed fingers, amputations, electrical shock, hearing loss, and vibration injuries that build quietly over years. This training covers worksite hazards and injury types, employer, supervisor, and employee responsibilities under the OSH Act, tool inspection and maintenance, required PPE, and safe practices for hand tools, electric tools, pneumatic and hydraulic tools, and fueled equipment.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
