[+] Are your courses and certificates approved by OSHA?
Typically governmental agencies including OSHA do not approve courses (or anything else for that matter). For that reason it is vital that the courses you take are developed and presented by qualified and experienced individuals. After all, the credibility of your training, and more importantly the effectiveness of your training rest’s in the hands of your training provider. Here are a few questions you can ask your training provider. What are their academic qualifications to develop and present such classes? Are they board certified in their field? How long have they been teaching this particular class? Can they provide you with references? To view Safety Links history and qualification "click here". We dare to compare our track record with our competitions!
[+] Are your training programs customizable?
All of our training programs are customizable. In fact, especially for onsite classes, you can expect a call from your trainer at least a week before the class. This call helps us determine how we can further enhance the program by including customer specific pictures, examples, and even company specific procedures into the training session.
[+] When do my training certificates expire?
Some of the courses we provide have government mandated expiration dates. For example, FDOT requires retraining for Maintenance of traffic every 4 years. In addition, various OSHA regulations require varying retaining terms typically ranging from 1 to 3 years. Each course is different however most of our courses do not expire.

[+] I do not have a formal safety program. What do I do?
For “Safety Partners” who do not have an existing safety program, Safety Links has developed an easy to follow guide entitled the “Safety Fundamentals”. This guide provides a step-by-step action plan and provides real world examples.
This plan starts by having at least one full time employee (typically the company owner, manager, or safety program administrator) attend the Safety Fundamentals© course.
At that time the attendees will be provided with the materials and resources needed to successfully develop a company specific health and safety system for their organization.
The goal of the Safety Fundamentals© course is not to create a “Safety Manual”; the goal is to create business systems that can be used to manage safety on a day to day basis!
[+] I already have a formal safety program. How can I make it better?
Safety Links has developed an easy to follow self evaluation checklist that each Safety Partner can use to measure the completeness of their existing safety management system(s).
This self evaluation can be used to pinpoint areas that require additional attention.
[+] What is a basic health and safety management system?
The content and depth of a health and safety management system can vary, depending on the size and type of company; however, the building blocks of an effective safety program can be broken down into the following eight elements.
- Leadership and organizational commitment.
- Hazard identification and assessment.
- Hazard control.
- Ongoing work site inspection/ observations
- Accident and incident investigation.
- Worker competency and training.
- Emergency response planning.
- Program administration review and follow up
[+] How long is a platinum membership good for?
The Safety Partnership membership is valid for 1 year from the date of issue. You will receive a reminder notice before you expire.
[+] Will the safety program I develop using the Safety Partnership resources enable me to get the 2% Florida Workers Compensation discount?
Once your company implements an effective safety program that meets or exceeds the Safety Partnership requirements, you will be entitled to this discount. If you are not already doing so, your safety coach will assist you in this matter.
