Confined Space Safety Training from Abhisam launched

Abhisam is pleased to announce the launch of its new Confined Space Safety training, in the popular XPRTU (e-learning) format. This software based training course is essential if you intend to work in a confined space, or you have employees or contractors that work in confined spaces. Every year hundreds of workers die every year due to lack of training in working in confined spaces. Most people do not realize that they are in any kind of danger until it is too late. Confined Spaces are all around us, not only in industries. If you are an employer who has employees or contractors that have to work in confined spaces (even if it is just once a year), then it is mandatory by law to train  them and also to maintain certain safety systems and records. In the US alone, authorities like OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has fined many companies millions of dollars in fines, for confined space safety violations. Do not be the victim of ignorance. Protect your workers from harm and yourself too (from financial and criminal legal liabilities) today by learning about Confined Space Safety. This course has been designed keeping in mind all the various OSHA guidelines and can be purchased online immediately. There are several options including taking it online, downloading it or accessing it via the Abhisam Learning Management System (Enterprise version). The advantage of the Enterprise version is that Abhisam will provide you the entire training records of your employees, who are enrolled into the course, so that you can maintain the training records as required by law. The course is comprehensive and consists of the following modules and have text, narration (full voice over explanation), animations, case studies, video and self assessment test. It also has a sample Safety Permit that you can use as a template to make your own! Here is a snippet from the course. The full video, you can watch when you buy the course.

Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?

There is a  common myth  “Just Google it”

It is a myth that you can simply Google for Confined Space   information and get everything that you need to know.

Most likely you will get a large number of occupational safety articles and information, some videos, some power point slides, but much of the information may be in bits and pieces.

While you can get some basic information about confined space safety from these sources, it may not be complete. Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.

Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from an OSHA compliance perspective

Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!

On the other hand, when you take this Abhisam Confined Space safety course, you know that

    1.  It is very carefully made, with subject matter experts in the field of Occupational Safety, Process Safety & Industrial operations who have spent decades in the actual field creating permit systems, investigating incidents and streamlining methods to reduce or eliminate confined space safety accidents.
    2. Utilizes easy graphics, animations and simulations, real life examples of dos and donts, correct and incorrect practices  that enable you to understand everything easily.
    3.  Earn a Certificate when you pass the associated exam and also get an electronic badge that can be displayed online on places such as LinkedIn. Get Noticed.

Can I not simply buy a book? That will be much cheaper!

Of course, you could always pass this up and decide to go for  buy a book on this topic,

but,

remember that there are some disadvantages with this approach

    1.  The first is that not a single book is available  that covers all the topics that you need to know. On the other hand, there will be many books on general workplace safety, occupational safety, permit systems, that may be relevant to only those working in normal workplaces, not those having confined spaces.
    2.  Some of these books may be outdated and obsolete.
    3.  Nobody gives you a certificate if you simply read a book!
