Try it: this is one of 11 interactive activities in the course.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I run OSHA injury & illness recordkeeping for supervisors training online?

The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check 29 CFR Part 1904 or ask your own counsel.

How often is this training needed?

At assignment to supervisory role + annually before 300A posting season (best practice).

Who needs this training?

Supervisors, site managers, HR/safety coordinators who report or record work-related injuries (manufacturing, warehouse, healthcare, retail, construction).

What records should I keep?

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in 29 CFR Part 1904.

Can I edit the content?

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.
