About this Course

When hand and power tools are not properly used or maintained, they present numerous threats to health and safety.

This course provides a basic introduction to the hazards of power and hand tools, as well as OSHA’s standards for the safe use. You'll learn about proper guarding techniques, personal protective equipment, and other safety requirements.

Once we've covered the basics, we'll also take a look at safety considerations for tools that create dangerous respirable silica dust.

This course fulfills 1 hour of general elective credit toward earning or renewing your Site Safety Training (SST) card.

Once you complete the lessons and pass the 10-question final exam with a score of at least 75%, you'll get a certificate of completion right away. You get 3 attempts to pass the final – we'll quiz you after each lesson to help you prepare.

FAQs

What are the course completion requirements to earn CEUs?

To successfully complete the course and earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs), you must:

Complete the required time within the course curriculum before the course is considered finished.
Validate your identity at designated checkpoints throughout the course.*
Pass all quizzes and the final exam with a minimum score of 70% within three attempts or fewer before a certificate of completion can be issued and CEUs can be awarded.**

*How is identity validated during the course?

360training verifies each learner’s identity through periodic validation questions during the learning event. At the beginning of the course, learners are prompted to answer a series of personal validation questions. These responses are securely saved in the Learning Management System (LMS).

What is your childhood nickname?
What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?
What is your oldest cousin’s first name?

Throughout the course, the LMS will prompt learners to answer these validation questions at preset intervals (e.g., every ten minutes).

If a learner answers correctly, they are allowed to continue.
Incorrect responses may result in the learning event being temporarily locked.

This process ensures the individual completing the course is the same person who enrolled.

**How are CEUs calculated?

Upon successful completion of the course requirements, CEUs will be awarded according to the following standard:

10 hours of education = 1.0 CEUs
30 hours of education = 3.0 CEUs
5 hours of education = 0.5 CEUs

Important: Partial credit or adjusted CEUs are not awarded. Learners must fully meet all course requirements, including identity validation, time-in-course, and passing scores, to receive CEUs.
