FAQ 

OSHA

Question: My employees already take OSHA 30. Would it benefit my company to have them do additional ethics and safety training through the International Academy for Ethics & Safety (IAOES)? 

Answer: While your employees have completed the OSHA 30-hour training, which provides a comprehensive foundation in occupational safety and health, additional ethics and safety training through the International Academy for Occupational Ethics & Safety (IAOES) could further benefit your company. IAOES promotes workplace ethics, integrity, and safety by offering accessible training and resources.

Engaging in IAOES's specialized programs can enhance your team's ethical decision-making skills and reinforce a culture of safety and responsibility within your organization. This commitment to ethical practices and safety can improve employee morale, reduce incident risk, and build a more substantial reputation among clients and partners.

Additionally, IAOES emphasizes the potential financial benefits of implementing robust ethics and safety programs, suggesting that such initiatives can lead to increased profitability through operational efficiency, reduced legal costs, and enhanced earning potential.

By integrating IAOES's ethics and safety training, your company can build upon the foundational knowledge from OSHA training, fostering a more ethical, safe, and productive work environment.

Question: IS IAOES OSHA approved? 

Answer: The International Academy for Occupational Ethics & Safety (IAOES) is not OSHA-approved or recognized as an OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Center. However, that does not mean their safety programs lack value. Many independent organizations provide high-quality safety training that aligns with OSHA guidelines, even if they are not officially certified by OSHA.

If you need OSHA-authorized training, seek courses from OSHA-certified OTI Education Centers. But if you're looking for critical thinking-based safety training that enhances workplace safety and helps you track your safety program compliance, IAOES offers unique and effective programs.
