OSHA general industry courses your team can finish between shifts, plus custom courses built from your own SOPs and your own equipment. Spanish throughout, and other languages built on request.
Every provider sells the same OSHA library. None of them teach your band saw, your drill press, your start-of-shift checklist, or the procedure your safety committee rewrote last quarter.
We build those. Most run three to twelve minutes, so an operator finishes one at shift start without leaving the floor, and a supervisor can assign a new one the week after an incident instead of the quarter after.
Send us the SOP. We send back the course.
Assign by job, not by hazard. Every course below is available in English; Spanish availability is noted per group.

One administrator. Every plant. Assign a curriculum by role, by site, or by company, and pull a completion report for any of the three.
Acquired a plant last quarter? Its roster goes live on the standard curriculum in days, not the following training year.
10 years as a Sentry Road customer · 4 operating companies · ~1,350 active employees · 3 languages
EnTrans International builds tank trailers, and it does not build them in one place or in one language. Across EnTrans and its sister companies - Mississippi Tank, TerraVest Tanks and Signature Truck Systems - welders, material handlers, assemblers, engineers, lean technicians and military-line supervisors work in plants in the United States and Mexico.
Roughly 1,350 active employees, and their training runs in three languages: English, Spanish and Thai.
All four companies run on Sentry Road, administered together. Each role gets its own curriculum. Each plant gets its own reporting. Employees who work in Spanish take the same course as employees who work in English, not a lesser version of it.
And when EnTrans needed training that no library carries - a band saw, a drill press, the tank acceptance procedure, security awareness for cleared and non-cleared personnel - Sentry Road built it.
Most training programs track annual refreshers correctly and miss the event-triggered ones. The right-hand column is where audits find gaps.
| Standard | Who must be trained | What triggers retraining |
|---|---|---|
| Lockout/Tagout - 1910.147 | Authorized, affected and other employees | Change in machines, energy control procedure, or job assignment; periodic inspection reveals a deficiency |
| Machine Guarding - 1910 Subpart O | Anyone operating or working near guarded equipment | New equipment or guarding change |
| Welding, Cutting, Brazing - 1910 Subpart Q | Welders, cutters, fire watch, supervisors | New process, new materials, or a new work area |
| Hazard Communication - 1910.1200 | Every employee exposed to hazardous chemicals | A new chemical hazard is introduced into the work area |
| Respiratory Protection - 1910.134 | Every respirator wearer | Annually, plus on change of respirator type or when knowledge gaps appear |
| Hearing Conservation - 1910.95 | Employees at or above the action level | Annually |
| PPE - 1910 Subpart I | Every employee required to use PPE | Change in workplace, change in PPE, or evidence the employee has not retained understanding |
| Powered Industrial Trucks - 1910.178 | Every forklift operator | Every 3 years, plus after an accident, near miss, unsafe operation, or change in vehicle or workplace |
| Permit-Required Confined Space - 1910.146 | Entrants, attendants, supervisors, rescue | Change in duties or in the permit space program, or when deviations are observed |
| Fall Protection - 1910.28-30 | Employees exposed to fall hazards | Change in workplace or equipment, or inadequate retention |
| Bloodborne Pathogens - 1910.1030 | Employees with occupational exposure | Annually, plus when tasks or procedures change |
| Emergency Action and Fire Prevention - 1910.38-39 | All employees | Plan changes or responsibilities change |
| EPA - RCRA and stormwater | Waste handlers, SPCC and SWPPP team members | Annually under most facility permits |
| DOT - 49 CFR 172.704 | Employees who prepare hazardous materials for shipment | Every 3 years, and on function change |
Online training covers the classroom portion. It does not cover everything, and a vendor who tells you otherwise is overselling.
These require hands-on evaluation by your own qualified staff, on your own equipment:
OSHA also does not approve, certify or accredit third-party training providers. No online course makes anyone "OSHA certified." What good online training does is deliver the instruction, document it, and hold up under inspection.
Your current training matrix, your SOPs, your roster. A spreadsheet is fine.
You get a draft curriculum by job title, usually within a few days, and you edit it.
Machine-specific and procedure-specific courses go into production while the standard library is already live.
Then you go live. Most plants are assigning courses the same week.
That is unlimited courses and unlimited retakes, not a bundle. Most multi-plant manufacturers land well below the ceiling.
No per-course pricing. No charge for retakes. No separate line item for custom course creation.

There is no single required list. OSHA's general industry standards (29 CFR 1910) each carry their own training requirement, and which ones apply depends on the hazards present in your plant. Nearly every manufacturer needs Hazard Communication, PPE, emergency action and fire prevention. Most add lockout/tagout, machine guarding, hearing conservation, forklift and fall protection. The table above lists the standards and their retraining triggers.
It varies by standard, and this is where most programs are quietly non-compliant. A few are fixed annual requirements - respiratory protection, hearing conservation, bloodborne pathogens. Forklift is every three years. But many standards have no calendar interval at all and are instead event-triggered: retraining is required when equipment changes, procedures change, an employee changes jobs, or an incident or observation shows the training did not take.
No. 1910.178(l) requires a practical evaluation of each operator's performance in the workplace, conducted by someone qualified to evaluate them. Online training delivers and documents the formal instruction portion, which is most of the requirement. The hands-on evaluation has to happen on your floor, on your equipment, with your evaluator.
No. OSHA does not approve, certify or accredit third-party training or training providers, and no course makes an employee "OSHA certified." Any vendor claiming OSHA approval is misrepresenting how the agency works. What matters during an inspection is whether the training covered the required content, whether the employee understood it, and whether you can document both.
Online training covers the required instruction for authorized, affected and other employees. What it cannot cover is verification that an employee can correctly apply your facility's specific energy control procedure to a specific machine. That step is machine-specific and has to be done on site. Sentry Road builds machine-specific LOTO courses from customer procedures, which narrows the gap but does not close it entirely.
1910.146 requires training for every role in the entry: authorized entrants, attendants, entry supervisors and rescue personnel, each with different content. Retraining is required when duties change, when the permit space program changes, or when the employer observes deviations from procedure. Rescue practice is hands-on and cannot be delivered online.
They cover different things. Welding training covers the process and its hazards. Hot work training covers the permit system: who authorizes the work, how the area is prepared, atmospheric testing, fire watch duties, and what happens after the torch goes off. If your facility issues hot work permits, the people issuing them and standing fire watch need training even if they never strike an arc.
Temporary workers are covered by the same standards as your direct employees, and OSHA has been explicit that the host employer and staffing agency share responsibility for training. In practice the host employer handles site-specific and equipment-specific training because the staffing agency cannot. New-hire orientation, hazard communication, emergency action and any equipment-specific training should be complete before the first shift on the floor.
Yes, across the library rather than as a thin translation layer on top of it. Hazard communication, lockout/tagout, machine guarding, confined space, fall protection, respiratory protection, PPE, forklift, welding, electrical safety, recordkeeping and more are all available in Spanish. Custom courses are built bilingually when needed.
Yes, and it is included in the subscription rather than billed as a separate project. Send an SOP, a work instruction or a photo of the equipment, and we produce a course. Turnaround runs as fast as 72 hours. Most machine-specific courses are three to twelve minutes so operators can complete them at shift start.
Most standard courses run 10 to 30 minutes. Micro courses built for a single machine or procedure run 3 to 12 minutes. Courses are self-paced and save progress, so an employee can finish across two shifts if a line goes down.
Administrators can pull completion records by employee, by role, by plant or across every operating company, at any time. Each course issues a certificate of completion. Records show what was covered, when it was completed and who completed it.
Yes. This is what the platform is built for. One administrator can run several operating companies, assign different curricula to different roles and sites, and report on any one of them independently or all of them together. Newly acquired facilities can be onboarded onto a standard curriculum in days.
$160 per user per year is the ceiling, and the rate scales down with headcount. That includes unlimited courses, unlimited retakes and custom course creation. There is no per-course pricing and no separate DOT module fee.
