Train the Trainer Certification

It incorporates the online course with an additional train the trainer module, as well as the training kit. This option results in an OSHA compliant lifetime trainer certification from Hard Hat Training. This certification is not company-specific, meaning you can take it with you should you change employers.
Why Do I Need Safety Training?
In line with regulations, anyone who works in an environment that has the potential to create fires must receive training prior to operating in the environment on their own.
When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fire safety is the process of planning and designing buildings or other infrastructure to either reduce the risk of a fire breaking out. If a fire does break out, fire safety planning slows the spread of fire. You should know and follow the 3 P’s of fire safety: prevent, plan, and practice.
Fire safety training is summarized by four main principles. First, reduce hazards in your workplace. Second, be aware of any rooms or materials that are prone to fire. Third, regularly inspect your fire alarms and suppression systems to make sure they work properly and are up to date. And fourth, make sure all emergency exits are clearly marked so that you and others can escape quickly in case a fire breaks out.
A basic fire prevention system includes an alarm system and sprinklers. Other components include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and evacuation systems.
