Additional Safety Training Considerations for Workers in Baton Rouge

While our onsite and online OSHA 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry are the gold standard for training about general hazard recognition and avoidance for workers and supervisors, there are many workers in and around Baton Rouge who face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require other specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses. 

As a major refining and petrochemical center, H2S certification training is a crucial requirement for many workers in Baton Rouge’s industrial sector, as well as at on and off-shore oil and gas operations.

Baton Rouge’s extreme heat and humidity make heat safety training essential—our online heat illness prevention training course helps workers and employers stay safe and meet OSHA standards.

Also, workers involved in confined space entry operations must complete Confined Space Entry Training for General Industry before entering hazardous areas such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Supervisors overseeing confined space entry and attendants monitoring entrant safety must also be trained. These environments pose serious risks, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment. 

Additionally, construction workers and supervisors entering confined spaces must complete specialized Confined Space Training for Construction.

Our Online OSHA 10 and 30-hour Training Courses Accepted in Baton Rouge

We also offer OSHA-authorized online 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry. However, you must pay close attention when comparing our courses against those of our competitors, as only those course providers that are specifically authorized to provide these courses can issue trainees the official DOL / OSHA 10 or 30-hour wallet cards. There are plenty of imitators out there who use deceptive fine print and “too good to be true” pricing to sell you a course that is not OSHA authorized. 

You can rest assured that the 10 and 30-hour online OSHA training courses offered on our website are authorized by OSHA, and are accepted in Baton Rouge LA as well as in all other states and US territories.
