What is Safety Toolbox Trainer? 

 

STT is an assistant-like tool allowing safety professionals more control over training their workforce. You can schedule OSHA meetings, manage notes, and streamline compliance obligations all within the same app.  

 

From the application, you can: 
 

Manage and train on the go: Select from hundreds of safety meeting titles to train in the office or in the field. Collections include Confined Spaces, Electrical Safety, HazCom, Machine Safety, PPE, Construction Safety, Safety Management, and more. 

Conduct effective training: The training resources include complete lesson plans with downloadable handouts and quizzes in English and Spanish, equipping trainers with everything they need to conduct a meaningful and compliant safety meeting. 

Maintain your training records: Schedule training and maintain your attendees list on your computer, tablet, or phone. 

Provide trainers and frontline supervisors with key contact information: The fully customizable Resources feature allows you to share the links, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers that are important to your organization’s safety. 

Record safety observations in one central location: Take photos, add descriptions and other notes, search past occurrences, and more!
