WHSC offers an extensive catalogue of some 200 existing hazard- and industry-specific training programs. Many of these programs meet and even exceed legal training requirements. We schedule the most essential of these programs in online, instructor-led, virtual classrooms and in in-person classrooms. We can also coordinate delivery of any program in our catalogue for your workplace “onsite” in virtual or in-person classrooms. Contact a WHSC training services representative nearest you to explore these options.
