Do you need hazardous materials certification?

If you work regularly in the oil and gas industry or general construction, you are likely aware of osha training, occupational safety and health administration, and the standards they hold for their workers. 

Maybe you are looking to get your training on your won so you can be better equipped for the certifications you need on a job or maybe your company is working to provide you the training you need to stay compliant. Regardless of where you are at, hazardous material training is something that you will need to remain certified in order to do your job. It is easy to get confused about the different training that are required to remain osha compliant, yet everyone wants to do the proper work to ensure they remain compliant with the occupational health and safety administration standards and requirements. 

In compliance with their standards, workers are required to hold certifications for hazardous materials certification classes, awareness classes, that are renewed every 12 months. Although the goal is for their to not be any osha violations, the standards can be confusing at times which is why True Safety University works hard to ensure you have the standards and training you need. 

Hazardous Materials certification can be hard to come by but it is important that you are getting the proper training on an awareness level each year as well as more hands on training at your site or location to understand the risks involved with the work you do. 

A large part of hazardous materials certification is understanding how to understand your exposure to hazardous materials, which is included in the online safety course. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to be exposed to hazardous materials while on a job and so having a proper understanding of your exposure and understanding what to do when in those situations is very important. 

This particular training will help you to properly analyze your workplace environment and understand the potential hazardous risks and understand how to mitigate those risks for your safety. 

Everybody has to go to work and we believe that you should not have to risk your life or your personal safety in order to perform the job that you are doing. Part of the reason OSHA has implemented their standards has been to set in place because they exist out of a conviction that work should not be a safe place. It should be a place where people can go to work to do what they love without having to wonder if they will be safe or not. 

Part of this rests on the employees and them taking ownership over their safety and situation and another large piece of this is companies and employers making sure that their employees have the proper training, the proper certifications, and the proper awareness of what hazards and risks their job provides. If a worker doesn’t have the training or knowledge to properly understand what risks their job presents, then it will be very challenging for them to know how to mitigate or avoid those risks. By providing hazardous materials certification, we are giving you the understanding you need to feel confident in your ability to identify and handle hazardous materials on the job. 

Our hazardous materials certification is available as an online safety training course through True Safety University. Over the last few years, our team at True Safety has seen that oftentimes safety training is outdated and boring, and we felt it was important to provide online training that would be transformation and effective for workers, while not giving in to the “death by powerpoint” mentality of training. WE felt it was worth it to build our own platform to house online safety training courses for the oil and gas industry workers, contractors, and employers. 

We have been over the last few years that this strategy is working and that we are able to serve our clients well through True Safety University. They have seen their training cost per hire lower because they are not having to make as many individual course purchases and they are being able to save time with their safety trainers. By giving employees access to courses like hazardous materials certification through an online platform, the employees are able to do their training on their own time, or during the down time of their job. This helps the company to make more money because the safety trainers, safety coordinators, and safety professionals are able to spend more time on the urgent issues that are relevant to the specific job sites you are working on. 

We have seen through working with our clients that sometimes it is hard for safety coordinators to get to all of the sites they have to do all of the necessary training which is why it works well for their workers to have access to hazardous materials certification through an online platform. In that case, the workers will complete their assigned training on their own devices and on their own time that they have available and then the safety coordinator can simply log in to the user dashboard to see how everyone did on the quizzes and tests, and whether or not they passed to receive their certification. 

Safety coordinators can also see when those certifications will expire so they can ensure their workers are getting the updated training they need each year.
