During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been challenging to complete training where we need to maintain social distancing and avoid large groups. Insert NHADA’s online training portal, this LMS (Learning Management System) contains job-specific, new-hire safety orientation for service technicians, body shop techs and painters, large truck technicians, and non-technicians. Content for each new-hire training varies depending on the needs of the position being filled. For instance, the body shop versions include our brand-new respirator safety training while the others do not.

Along with the new hire orientation offerings, the portal also includes all the same individual safety trainings that are available as “in-person” trainings including GHS hazard communication, forklift, ergonomics/back safety for service technicians, auto lift safety, respiratory protection, fire extinguishers, bloodborne pathogens, emergency evacuation, and Hazardous Material training for parts drivers. There is also a COVID-19 General Awareness training course that is available FREE to all members!

Members utilizing this online training system have raved about the up-to-date, industry-specific content and ease of use, and at $10 per class, the cost effectiveness. Members now have the ability to have employees complete all OSHA required and best practice safety orientation training quickly and conveniently prior to the individual starting work as well as receive notifications that annual refresher training is due.
