California Emergency Training: Covid-19 in the Workplace

California Emergency Training: Covid-19 in the Workplace

The California Specialized Training Institute is offering a very helpful training called Protecting Yourself from COVID-19 In the Workplace. This free online training is provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Services (NIEHS). The course has four modules plus an exam for a certificate.

We tested the course for you. It’s quick and pretty interesting! The course contains the standard advisories about using masks (but in a lot more detail), washing your hands, not touching your face, and social distancing. Additionally there is a focus on workplace safety: how to take measures to protect the workplace and workers, which workers are deemed essential and/or have higher vulnerability, and planning steps that businesses can take to weather these adverse conditions better.

Here are directions on how to register and take this class. Click on each image if you need more detail. (Note: LMS stands for Learning Management System.)

Protecting Yourself from COVID-19 in the Workplace
Providing education on infection control and workplace safety measures for your employees isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s a requirement.

This is an awareness level training designed to inform workers about how to protect themselves and co-workers from exposure to the virus.

These materials were developed by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Worker Training Program, National Clearinghouse for Worker Safety and Health Training.

We thank NIEHS for sharing these tools, and are happy to bring them to you.
