Sound familiar?

EHS gaps don't wait for a convenient day.

“OSHA is in the lobby and our EHS manager is out sick.”

You'll know what to do in the first ten minutes: let the inspector in, send a knowledgeable manager along, take notes and keep the inspection to its stated scope.

“Nobody got hurt, so why write it up?”

A slip on an oily patch that ended with a catch instead of a fall is a free warning. You'll learn to report near misses, find the source and fix it before the next one lands.

“The e-stop is good enough. I'll be thirty seconds.”

An e-stop isn't lockout. You'll learn to find every energy source, isolate it, lock it, tag it and verify zero energy before anyone reaches in.

“Our IIPP is four years old.”

It still lists the old address and misses the new paint booth. For a California site that's a citation waiting to happen. You'll learn what a current, workplace-specific program looks like.

“He's always poured the waste solvent down the drain.”

Spent solvent and chromate rags are hazardous waste, and a floor drain is not a disposal method. You'll learn how to stop it, contain it and manage the waste stream the way the rules require.

“The CAPA says retrain the operator.”

Retraining and a reminder about gloves sit at the bottom of the hierarchy and assume the worker was the problem. You'll learn to look at the tool, the task and the procedure first.

Myth or fact?

Four things people get wrong about OSHA injury records and reporting. Make your call on each one.

“Every workplace injury goes on the OSHA 300 log.”

“Loss of an eye at work must be reported to OSHA within 24 hours.”

“Shops with 10 or fewer employees skip OSHA reporting altogether.”

“A company executive has to certify the OSHA 300A summary.”

0 of 4 checked. Tap Myth or Fact on each one.

The clocks that matter

Three dates your injury records run on.

8 hoursto report a work-related fatality to OSHA
24 hoursfor an in-patient hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye
Feb 1 to Apr 30posting window for the OSHA 300A summary

From 29 CFR 1904.39 and 1904.32. The course covers all three.

What you walk out with

You don't just read the rules. You work the hazards.

Seven hands-on exercises, each with a worked answer to check yours against, set where aerospace and manufacturing hazards actually live: the paint booth, the hangar, the fuel tank, the landing gear.

01

The hierarchy of controls, applied

Hex chrome dust, fuel tank entry, 130 dB engine runs. Pick elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative controls and PPE in the right order for each.

Module 1
02

A job hazard analysis

Break down sanding chromate primer at 8 feet and draining residual fuel from a wing tank, and name the control each hazard needs.

Module 4
03

A risk rating that drives action

Score severity and likelihood on a tank entry with no continuous monitoring and on inconsistent hearing protection, and see when the answer is stop work.

Module 4
04

A LOTO energy map

Find every energy source on a landing gear strut removal and a wing tank repair: hydraulic, stored mechanical, electrical, pneumatic.

Module 5
05

A 5-Why past “worker error”

Trace a dizzy painter from a saturated cartridge back to the change process that never ran, and a fall back to a guardrail that swung open.

Module 9
06

A mock audit walk

Walk a paint booth and a receiving area the way an auditor would, and list what they will check before they check it.

Module 11
How it works

Learn it, practice it, prove it, use it.

01 · Learn it

Short lessons, real floors

Cards, step-through decision paths and checklists built around paint booths, hangars, tanks and shop floors. OSHA, EPA, FAA and ISO side by side.

02 · Practice it

Scenarios and hands-on exercises

29 real-world scenarios with explained answers and 7 exercises with worked answers. A knowledge check with Coach Q in every lesson.

03 · Prove it

A 50-question final exam

Finish every lesson, then pass the final exam at 80 percent to earn your certificate of completion.

04 · Apply it

Your own site, with your coach

Walk your own floor with what you learned and work the gaps with Coach Q, who comes with your course.

Your private AI coach

Ask the question you'd ask a safety pro. Get a straight answer.

Coach Q works through each lesson's knowledge check with you. It points you to the rule, the record and the next step. It proposes, and a qualified person on your site decides.

A worker slipped on an oily patch by one of the machines and caught himself. Nobody got hurt. Do I have to record it?
Coach Q

Not on the OSHA 300 log. The log is for work-related injuries and illnesses that meet the recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7, and nobody was hurt.

It is a near miss, though, and near misses are free warnings. Get the oil cleaned up now, write it up, and find out why it was there: a leaking machine, a missing drip pan, a cleanup nobody owns. Then fix that cause. If the same slip had put someone in the hospital as an in-patient, it would be a 24-hour report to OSHA under 1904.39.

Want me to prepare a one-page near-miss report and a 5-Why for the leak?

Coaching, not decisions. On safety, a qualified person on site makes the call.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does an expert in my pocket mean?
Coach Q is an AI coach configured for your course subject. Ask it to explain a concept, question your reasoning, or help prepare a workflow you can review. You access QMS Learning through your web browser. The offer does not include on-demand access to a human consultant.
Can I use what I learn on a real problem?
Yes. In Course Hub, choose a document template and supply facts you are permitted to share. Create a document, edit it or request a revision, then save or download it. Check the facts, calculations and requirements, and have the responsible people in your organization review it before use. A coach conversation alone does not save a document; use the document actions in the Hub.
Can I reuse the work for the next job?
You can save a document as a reusable template in Course Hub and use it as a starting point later. Keep the useful structure, remove the previous job's facts and conclusions, and supply the new evidence. Saved workflows and document revisions help you return to your work; they are not your company's controlled approval or release system.
Is it current on ISO 14001 and ISO 45001?
The ISO 14001 lessons teach the 2015 edition. ISO 14001:2026 was published on April 15, 2026, and certification transitions to it end on April 30, 2029. For what changed, take ISO 14001:2026 Transition. The ISO 45001 lessons teach the current edition. A revision is at the DIS development stage and has not been published.
Is this a certification?
No. You earn a certificate of completion for your training record. It isn't an OSHA card, a professional safety credential or a lead auditor qualification, and it doesn't certify your management system.
How do I earn the certificate of completion?
Finish every lesson, then pass the 50-question final exam with a score of 80 percent or higher.
Is it only for aerospace?
No. The examples lean on repair stations, paint booths and hangars, but the OSHA, EPA and ISO lessons carry over to any manufacturing floor. There is also a lesson on Cal/OSHA for California sites.
How long do I keep access?
The lessons are yours for life, and your AI coach comes with your course. There's no subscription or renewal fee.
Can my company pay?
Yes. Use a company card at checkout. Job training is generally a deductible business expense for the company, so check with your accountant. Need a quote or a PO first? Email will@qmslearning.com.
What if it isn't for me?
Email will@qmslearning.com within 3 days of purchase for a refund. A refund ends access to the course.
Training a team?
Pick how many people before you check out and pay once by card. Five or more people get 10% off every seat, applied at checkout. After checkout you add each person's name and email, and each of them gets their own login, private AI coach, study plan and certificate. More than 50 people, or need an invoice instead? Email will@qmslearning.com for a quote.
