Snow and ice season puts crews on lots, sidewalks and roads at night, in the cold, around people and traffic. These online courses cover the safety knowledge winter crews need, one short course per job. Each learner gets their own login, a certificate of completion when they pass, and a record kept on file with their score and completion date.

The online course is the theory. Your sign-off completes the training.
These courses give workers the safety knowledge for the job. Employers still need to show workers are competent on their own equipment and sites, with site-specific orientation and hands-on practice where the work calls for it. A certificate of completion is one piece of your training record. See our training disclaimer.
