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.

PPE is the last line of defense — worn correctly, it prevents injuries; worn wrong or chosen wrong, it gives a false sense of safety. This course covers the hazard assessment behind PPE, and the selection, fit, use, and care of head, eye/face, hearing, hand, foot, and body protection. 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 19 minutes of training means it. The 36 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.
