Train the Trainer Certification

The train the trainer option is used to certify a trainer to teach others using the included training kit. It incorporates the training 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, any employer that keeps and uses hazardous chemicals in the workplace must meet four main requirements: provide safety data sheets, ensure proper chemical labeling, inform and train employees, and create a written hazard communication program.

While there are no requirements for refresher training related to hazard communication, employers must provide additional training to employees whenever a new chemical or new PPE is introduced to the workplace. Additional training may also be necessary if an employee is involved in an accident or is found not following safety procedures.
Under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, employers are required to provide a workplace that "is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees."

This means employers have a legal and ethical obligation to promote a work environment where hazardous chemicals and products are used and stored safely. You and your coworkers have the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes the safety, equality, and well-being of all.
