Student Spotlight

Renee Collins has nothing but praise for OSHAcademy, stating, "I have nothing but good things to say about the courses you guys have available, and honestly regret I didn’t use them sooner." A few years ago, she came across the site but was too busy with a career change to take advantage of the valuable resource it offered.

With decades of administrative experience, Collins made a major career shift, moving into the construction field and working alongside her team. When she was offered a job to set up a non-existent safety department for a construction and fabrication company, it was a rapid and complex challenge. Despite receiving praise from clients for her safety efforts, she knew the system needed an overhaul. That’s when OSHAcademy became a critical tool in her success.

Determined to enhance her knowledge, Renee began reading through study guides and eventually enrolled in the 192-hour Construction Safety and Health Professional She found the courses invaluable, especially 833 Developing a Construction Safety Management System, which she believes should be mandatory for anyone on the administrative side of safety. She also highlighted 706 Conducting a Job Hazard Analysis, noting how it provided the exact insights she needed to improve her company’s approach to safety.

One detail that stood out to Renee was OSHAcademy's responsiveness to her feedback, something she had not experienced with other training platforms.
