How do the additional online training classes work and why would an individual need them?
Companies may choose to enroll an employee in additional training on topics that are not covered in initial training or on a topic that the employee may need additional training on. These courses may qualify for OSHA “training” standard – 1910.266(i) – (Training of an employee due to unsafe job performance, or assignment of new work tasks, tools, equipment, machines or vehicles) and may be used toward requalification. Please contact the PLC for a list of over 400 additional topics.
Can a user buy one additional training course at a time, as needed?
Yes, if your employee has already gone through an entry level training program and needs assistance with a subject you can buy access to the training you are looking for. Please contact the PLC for a list of over 400 additional topics.
