Student Spotlight

Karl Kramer, a Site Supervisor, Safety and Health Officer (SSHO), and Quality Control Manager, recently completed the 192-hour Construction Safety and Health Professional Program with OSHAcademy. The program has profoundly impacted his career and workplace safety practices.

“One of the biggest advantages of OSHAcademy’s training is its flexibility,” Kramer shared. “As someone who has to complete extensive training every year, being able to take courses on my timeline made all the difference. When I find the time, I can dive right in and get it done.”

Kramer highlights how the training reinforced his knowledge and expanded his understanding in essential areas. He recalls a standout moment where he applied what he learned during a tailgate safety meeting. “We focused on hard hats that day, discussing their different ratings and requirements. Everyone got involved, inspecting their own hard hats for defects, labeling, and classifications. It became a fun and interactive session, and people walked away with practical knowledge they could use daily.”

He praises OSHAcademy for its seamless delivery platform, which allows users to switch between devices without losing progress. “It works flawlessly on desktops, laptops, or even phones—anywhere, anytime. It’s reliable and glitch-free, which is crucial when you’re juggling a busy schedule.”

For those considering a career in safety or health management, Kramer strongly recommends OSHAcademy. “It’s cost-effective, allows you to earn CEUs, and even prepares you for advanced programs at partnered colleges. OSHAcademy is the right tool at the right time. If you’re on the fence, I’d say, ‘Check it out, sign up, and do it—you won’t regret it.’”
