What's included

Three pieces that work together

Learners prepare on their own, you answer questions live, and the surveys tell you what stuck.

  • Self-paced course

    7 lessons, about 30 minutes, with 16 interactive activities and a 10-question final check (80% to pass).

  • Live session deck

    10 slides to run after the course, in the room or online, with audience Q&A.

  • Two surveys

    Post-course feedback and a 30-day check-in, anonymous by default, so you know whether the training is used on the job.

13 fields to fill in with your own policy, contacts and locations; each one is highlighted inside the course.

See who finished

Completion is tracked for you

Learners sign in to take the course, so every start, finish and score is recorded in AhaSlides. No spreadsheet to keep.

  • Who has finished

    See who has not started, who is in progress and who has completed the course.

  • Every score

    Each learner's result on the 10-question final check, against the 80% pass mark.

  • What landed

    Survey results show what people took away, and the 30-day check-in shows whether they use it.

Common questions

Yes. The course, the live deck and both surveys are free. Previewing the course as a learner is free too.

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 1910.38 (esp. (c), (e), (f)) or ask your own counsel.

When the plan is first developed or employee is first assigned + when responsibilities change + when the plan changes; annual refresher and drills best practice.

All employees (with a supervisor/evacuation-warden add-on page); offices, retail stores, warehouses, plants, clinics.

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 1910.38 (esp. (c), (e), (f)).

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.
