Once upon a time, the Internet was considered “the way of the future.” Most people agree that the future has now arrived, and the Internet has changed the way society does business. You’d be hard-pressed to find an American home that doesn’t have at least one computer in it, and as a result, our vast world is smaller than ever before. Businesses and non-profit organizations alike have embraced the computer age and now routinely include a website as part of their business. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States is no exception. OSHA is the organization whose mandate it is to write and enforce policy regarding workplace safety and accident/illness prevention. Formed in 1970, OSHA protects nearly every worker in most every sector in the U.S.

Before the computer age, the only way to take an OSHA course was through its training institute, to attend a seminar, or to bring a trainer into ones own workplace. While these types of training still exist, OSHA now offers many of its courses, seminars, and workshops via virtual school online. These web-based courses include its most popular course, the Outreach Training Program (which covers topics applicable to most every industry, such as risk assessment, fire prevention and safety, rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, etc.), first aid training, Department of Transportation driver safety, Hazpower (pollution and environmental clean-up), health care industry safety, and many more.
