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.

Understand where respirable crystalline silica exposure happens, the health effects of exposure, the permissible exposure limit and action level, engineering and work practice controls, Table 1 specified exposure control methods, the written exposure control plan and competent person, respiratory protection, housekeeping, and medical surveillance requirements. 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.
