This is a Migna Safety Solutions course with a Migna certificate of completion. It is not OSHA Outreach Training and does not include a Department of Labor card.

Unguarded machinery causes thousands of amputations, crushing injuries, and deaths a year. This course covers the hazardous motions and actions of machines, the three areas that must be safeguarded, the full range of guards and safeguarding devices, what makes a guard adequate, the lockout/tagout boundary for servicing and jam clearing, and the specific requirements for common machines — abrasive wheels, power presses, saws, and conveyors. Issues a Migna certificate of completion.

Seat time is enforced on our servers. The clock is calculated from signed progress events rather than in your browser, so it cannot be sped up — a certificate that states 24 minutes of training means it. The 45 minutes shown above is that gate plus the quizzes and final exam, which are not on the clock.

This certificate does not expire on a clock

The standard behind this course sets no fixed retraining interval, so we do not print one. Retraining is triggered by events instead — a new hazard, a changed process, or an observed deficiency. Your employer or insurer may set their own interval, which is a real obligation but not a federal one.
