Explore the Latest Workplace Safety Courses from Vector Solutions

Vector Solutions' new and improved workplace safety courses offer teams a valuable opportunity to enhance knowledge and skills and empower individuals to proactively identify and address potential hazards and minimize risks.  

We've gathered a range of online training courses that Vector Solutions has released this year that your organization can leverage to support ongoing workplace safety and health efforts at your organization. 

Safety Course Round-Up 

First Aid 

It's not always clear what to do in a situation that requires first aid. Especially if it's an emergency. These courses provide instruction on administering proper first aid for various workplace injuries and illnesses and train employees to recognize situations that require emergency medical assistance. 

• First Aid - Initial Steps  
• First Aid - Eye Injuries
• First Aid - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) 
• First Aid - Dehydration  

Fall Protection 

The second leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths in the workplace is falls. Our new fall protection training covers numerous methods of prevention and protection including fall arrest systems, vertical and horizontal lifelines, as well as guidelines for inspection and maintenance of fall protection equipment. This course also discusses the proper procedures for putting on a body harness, lifeline swing hazards, and more, to arm employees with the knowledge they need to work safely at heights. 

Fall Prevention is just one topic that's covered within our recently created construction safety training series. This series was developed to provide workers with the knowledge they need to work safely and without incident in many types of environments at a building site; to properly use tools, protective equipment, and handle materials; and recognize some of the most common jobsite hazards to strengthen their safety awareness and complete tasks efficiently. 

Other courses from Vector's Construction Worksite Safety Training series include: 

• Caught-In and Caught-Between Hazards 
• Confined Spaces in Construction

Heat Stress 

Our latest course on Heat Stress Symptoms and Prevention was created to educate employees to recognize each symptom and condition of heat-related illnesses, and to know which ones require simple corrective actions, like taking a break, and which ones may require a trip to the hospital.   

• Heat Stress Symptoms and Prevention  
• First Aid - Dehydration  

Hazard Prevention

Vector Solutions offers a wide range of training topics to help employees identify many common hazardous situations they might encounter while on the job, from spotting a missing machine guard on a piece of equipment, noticing a forklift in use that has an unbalanced load, catching chemical hazards, or observing an employee carrying heavy boxes without using proper lifting techniques.

Award-Winning Microlearning Courses and Safety Case Studies 

Vector has recently won six awards that recognize recent innovative health and safety microlearning online courses in the 44th Annual Telly Awards. Vector's award-winning microlearning courses, averaging 5 minutes each, provide your workforce with the ability to enhance safety knowledge and retain skills - perfect for in-the-moment refresher training.   

Microlearning eliminates the need for lengthy training sessions and reduces the amount of time and resources required for mastering a topic. When bite-sized, mobile-friendly learning content is easily and readily accessible, learners can take a course at their own pace, wherever they are, and most importantly, whenever they need to refresh their memory of a topic or procedure. 

With typical compliance training, topics aren't usually emotionally-centered, making it harder for workers to engage with the material and get the full benefit. Employees typically memorize the guidelines, but the information usually fades over time, especially if they don't have to apply the policies on a daily basis.   

Our safety case study courses are based on real situations and demonstrate how failure to comply with safety procedures can have devastating outcomes. Rather than focusing on standard instruction on how to comply with safety measures, these courses go a step further to ensure the learner is gaining knowledge on how these measures offer protection and security for them and their co-workers to further emphasize the importance of maintaining a safe working environment. 

When employees have the ability to quickly pull up a short, 5-minute refresher course and fully grasp the impact that adhering to safety has on helping themselves and their team members return home safely at the end of a shift, organizations achieve better training outcomes and a safer workplace.
