Q.Why is an OHST certification better than other safety “certifications”?
A.1. Credibility 2.Recognition 3.Accreditation 4.Respect!
Beware of safety certifications that require you to take their course to be “certified”. Although the knowledge provided in their course may be of value, and you may appreciate the coffee mug, t-shirt and other gimmicks they provide, their certification is not likely to be recognized by others in the industry.

- John M., Safety Management SystemsI was very impressed with the class. I feel like I have the materials I need to study in order to pass the test. Also, being shown how to use the calculator was most helpful. I was very rusty on the use of the calculator. The instructor did a great job of keeping the flow of the class going. Thank you Safety Links!
