Questions About Workplace Safety Training
Short answers for MSP owners choosing safety training for their team or their clients.
What are the 5 basic safety trainings?
A practical five: hazardous materials, equipment and industrial work, office and general safety, emergencies and first aid, and protective equipment. No law sets an official five; these are five of the six groups Empath Learn uses, covering more than 1,400 of its safety courses and lessons (the sixth is transportation and DOT). An office team can start with Office Safety and Office Ergonomics.
What is safety training for employees?
Safety training for employees teaches people to spot hazards at work and respond the right way, such as reading a chemical label or using a fire extinguisher. Online courses cover what to know and why. Hands-on practice and any skills evaluation stay with the employer, and no online course certifies anyone. The safety courses in Empath support that hands-on training.
What are some examples of safety trainings?
Common examples are hazard communication, lockout/tagout, PPE, fire safety, first aid and safe driving. In Empath, matching courses include Hazard Communication, Lockout Tagout for Authorized Employees, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Fire Extinguisher Safety, Effective First Aid and Safe Driving. The full course list has more than 1,500 safety courses and lessons.
Is workplace safety training included in Empath Learn?

Can my clients get workplace safety training in Empath Grow?
Yes. In Empath Grow, you can offer your clients more than 1,500 safety courses and lessons through the Curated Collection, a premium catalog.
