OSHA Safety eTool Web Site

We have recently added links to the OSHA eTool web site. eTools are "stand-alone," interactive, Web-based training tools on occupational safety and health topics. They are highly illustrated and utilize graphical menus. Some also use expert system modules, which enable the user to answer questions, and receive reliable advice on how OSHA regulations apply to their work site. We feel that these modules will help contractors with training issues required by OSHA. Take a look at them. They are very well done.
