About this course

This course gives healthcare and specimen-collection workers a practical foundation in U.S. OSHA requirements, from worker rights and Hazard Communication to PPE, fire safety, electrical hazards, workplace violence prevention, respiratory protection, and injury recordkeeping. It is general awareness training: it does not by itself satisfy any specific regulatory training requirement, and your employer must also provide site-specific training on your workplace's hazards, plans, and procedures.
