You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course

What this course covers.

Treating a near miss the same way as an accident is what this course is built around: the difference between an incident, an accident, and a near miss, and why all three deserve the same investigation discipline.

It works through developing a written incident investigation plan, assembling an investigation kit, organizing the investigation team, implementing corrective actions, and retaining incident records.

Employers building a formal near-miss reporting program, not just responding to injuries after the fact, use this course as the procedural foundation for it.
