NATA’s Safety 1st safety and health training – now online

Today, the National Air Transportation Association’s (NATA) Safety 1st launched 18 new online safety and health training modules. These modules were developed using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) standards and regulations and are specifically designed to train employees at aviation businesses.

NATA’s 18 modules include back safety, bloodborne pathogens, cold stress, ergonomics, fall protection, fire extinguishers, forklift safety, hazard communication, hearing conservation, heat stress, ladder safety, lockout tagout, machine guarding, office safety, personal protective equipment and respiratory protection. Companies can buy only those modules applicable to their job. From office workers to maintenance technicians, line service personnel, pilots and more, the modules allow the user to create a curriculum that best meets their job requirements. Each module averages 30 to 45 minutes in length and all 18 modules can be completed in approximately 10 hours.

“The best news about this online training is that it is available any time your employees want to train and it can be accessed using existing Safety 1st online training credentials, said NATA Director of Safety and Training Amy Koranda. “With 18 modules to choose from, employees can take their time going through training concepts and, once complete, run through a quick exam to confirm their training.”
