State Offers Online Safety Training
01/31/12 MRC
The Kentucky Labor Cabinet has developed an online training system for Kentucky’s employers.
The new training website – http://laborcabinetetrain.ky.gov/ – is the gateway to an electronic library of training materials related to occupational safety and health. All materials on the site are based on the Kentucky Labor Cabinet’s regulations, along with industry best practices learned in the many years’ experience of the cabinet’s safety and health consultants.
The online system also will include both live webinars and pre-recorded on-demand training modules. Courses continue to be developed and the online catalogue will grow as the library of course material increases. Initial subjects that will be covered by the online content include hazard communication, fire safety, emergency eyewash and showers, emergency action plans, and personal protective equipment.
In the future, the cabinet will offer specific training curriculums that will allow users to earn a certificate of completion once they have successfully finished all the courses in that curriculum.
Labor Secretary Mark Brown said the training products are easy to access, cost-free and readily available to Kentucky’s business community.
