Tools are such a common part of our lives that it’s difficult to remember that they may pose potential hazards to our safety. This course will teach employees the importance of hand and power tool safety and how to achieve it. Employees who successfully complete this course should learn the common hazards of different types of hand and power tools, including electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic and abrasive-wheel tools and how to minimize or eliminate those hazards. This course is intended for California employees who, as part of their regular work duties, are required to use or work around hand and power tools. This course is provided to assist the employer in meeting the requirements of Cal/OSHA Standard 8 CCR Section 3556 and OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.241–244. While this course addresses OSHA and Cal/OSHA training requirements, there may be a site-specific training component required that must be fulfilled by an employer. This course is available in English and Spanish.
