Convergence Training’s online occupational health and safety training courses teach new employees important knowledge and skills while providing experienced employees a way to refresh their understanding of knowledge and skills they’re familiar with (see our article on the importance of “spaced practice” for more about the value of this).

There are some clear advantages of online training. One is that the employee can learn at his or her own pace. Another is that the employee can access the online training anywhere at work anywhere by using a mobile device. Plus the visuals have great explanatory power that aids comprehension and retention, as we explain in our 10 Amazing Ways Animations Make Safety Training Better article.

Convergence Training provides a large number of online safety courses on many different topics. This article describes just a few of the courses involving driver safety, first aid, equipment safety, and general safety. To see the full list of online safety training courses we provide and review sample videos and course descriptions, check Convergence Training’s online occupational health and safety training courses.

Driver Safety Online Training

Whether you are driving a car or a tanker truck, it is vital to know how to drive your vehicle correctly and how to avoid hazards.

Courses like our alert driving training teach you how to observe conditions, anticipate hazardous situations, and react quickly to avoid hazards. Furthermore, the driving preparation course suggests how to plan your route and teaches you about vehicle maintenance. With our DOT HAZMAT safety course, you will learn how to appropriately label, pack, and handle hazardous materials while complying with existing regulations. We also have courses that specifically teach you how to drive large trucks through videos that explain how to navigate blind spots, secure a large load, and avoid rollovers.

Some important facts you will learn include how to appropriately hold pressure on a bleeding wound and what to do if a person’s body part is amputated.

Another course teaches you what to do if someone has a diabetic emergency for both high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

  1. how about if i want one course that compiles general safety, first aid, equipment safety, driver’s safety and the like or else what course should i take inorder to work as a SHEQ officer esp in mines and construction sites

    1. Hi, Mukayeni,

      There’s no single course that can you you all that stuff, but we DO offer courses on everything you mentioned (general safety, first aid, driver’s safety, plus courses related to mining and construction).

      Probably the best way to begin learning more about the options is to fill out a form on our Contact Us page. It’s the weekend now, but someone should reply early during the normal work week.

      Thanks for asking and best of luck to you!
