For many employers, the first job is where workers learn skills that last a lifetime. Yet younger and less experienced workers are also more likely to be injured on the job. Investing in safety training early helps employees build confidence, develop practical workplace skills, and establish safe work habits that benefit them throughout their careers.
SAFEME online training platform offers free workplace safety training through two certificate programs: SAFEME Essentials and SAFEME Automotive.
The SAFEME Essentials certificate covers 12 foundational workplace safety topics, including accident prevention, personal protective equipment, slips, trips and falls, proper lifting, ladder safety, utility and box knives, material handling, fire safety, distracted driving, forklift safety, and workplace violence.
For automotive businesses, the SAFEME Automotive certificate provides training on 12 industry-specific topics, including chemical safety, eye wash stations, car wash safety, electrical safety, power tools, tire handling, welding and cutting operations, lockout/tagout procedures, automotive lifting, and parking lot hazards.
Each certificate can be completed online at the employee’s own pace and provides a job-skill credential that workers can add to a resume. The training is available in English and Spanish and is designed to support onboarding, refresher training, and ongoing safety education.
