Student Spotlight

John Donnarumma, a former Safety and Compliance Director with extensive experience in the industrial gas industry, had an unconventional path to becoming a safety professional, shaped by opportunities to grow within a remarkable company. His career began as a truck driver, operating a variety of large commercial vehicles, including gasoline tankers, propane tankers, and liquid oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and bulk helium trucks. This early experience provided him with a strong Hazmat DOT background, which later became invaluable in his safety role.

Over the years, Donnarumma explored numerous safety training programs, ranging from high-end online courses to free alternatives. While all of them provided some benefit, OSHAcademy stood out as the industry leader. What distinguishes OSHAcademy, according to Donnarumma, is its commitment to offering comprehensive, accessible training.

One key feature of OSHAcademy Donnarumma likes is the option to complete courses for free, allowing participants to retain the knowledge for life. For those seeking formal grades and certificates, OSHAcademy offers reasonably priced certificates, making high-quality education available to everyone.

Donnarumma found OSHAcademy’s courses exceptionally detailed and thorough, covering a wide range of topics including general industry, construction, and oil and gas. He personally completed several programs, 233-hour Oil and Gas Industry Professional, the 192-hour Construction Safety and Health Professional, the 132-hour Occupational Safety and Health Professional, as well as the 40-hour HAZWOPER and 40-hour EM 385-1-1 Construction Safety Hazard Awareness Program for Contractors. Each course was not only informative but also enjoyable.

As Donnarumma reflects on his journey with OSHAcademy, he acknowledges the fun and excitement the educational experience brought him. The knowledge and skills he gained will undoubtedly serve him well in future roles. He adds, “I'm considering integrating OSHAcademy's exceptional training programs into the safety training at my next employer.”

Donnarumma expresses his gratitude to OSHAcademy for providing an enriching and enlightening journey into the world of safety and compliance, and looks forward to applying what he’s learned in his future endeavors.
