During the winter and early Spring months WisCOSH will offer training via Zoom. If you are unable to utilize Zoom or prefer to meet in person for training please contact our Lead Trainer. All workshops will have time for Q&A. Unless otherwise noted classes are planned to be 2hrs long. If there are a lot of participants the class may go longer.

The first online training WisCOSH is offering in February is our Hazard Identification At Work. In this workshop we will cover some of the many tools that workers can utilize to identify the hazards present in their workplace. Some hazards may be injuring workers or making them ill while others are present but have not yet caused harm. In either case it is best to eliminate the hazards. This workshop is intended to discuss a method of identifying a tool and then breaking into small groups to practice using the tool and then coming back together to discuss the method. The workshop will include reference materials and participants that complete the workshop will be emailed a Certificate of Completion. You can register at https://tinyurl.com/HIaW20241.
