The real job is tracking, not teaching
Most safety specialists can run a confined space class in their sleep. What eats the week is everything around it: who took which course, when it expires, who never finished, and who was just hired onto a crew that starts Monday.
That usually lives in a spreadsheet, a binder and someone's memory. It works until an auditor, a client or an incident asks a question the spreadsheet cannot answer quickly.
What a current roster looks like
In Jonah, every person has one overall status: current, due or expired. It is the worst status across all the courses they are required to take, so one lapsed course never hides behind three good ones.
- Current: every required course is passed and in date.
- Due: a certificate is coming up for renewal.
- Expired: at least one required course has lapsed.
You see the whole company at once, and you can open any person to see their courses, attempts and certificates.
A follow-up list that names who needs you
A roster tells you the state of things. A follow-up list tells you what to do next. Jonah groups people by the reason they need attention: expired, renewal due, stalled partway through a course, or not started.
When someone is struggling, the list says they may need help in person. It never publishes how many times they failed. You decide how to have that conversation.
Training your crew will actually finish
Workers train on their own phones, in English or Spanish. A course opens with a short course movie, then short sections, each with a video and questions at the end. A final test covers the whole course. Pass it and the certificate issues on the spot, with no approval queue.
Progress is saved as they go, so a dropped signal in a truck does not cost them their place.
Make the course yours
Every company starts from the same ready-made course. If your sites have their own procedures, your account owner can edit the section text, replace a video, or add and retire questions for your workers only. Anything you do not touch keeps following the main course when it is updated.
Renewals without starting over
Someone who already holds a certificate starts their refresher with a short diagnostic. A section they get fully right, whose content has not changed since their last certificate, is cleared. Everything else is retaken in full, so the new certificate lists only what was actually assessed.
Where Jonah stops
Jonah keeps the training record and the certificate. It does not replace your hazard evaluations, permits or the hands-on practice your program requires. OSHA does not approve training providers or issue certificates: the employer certifies the training.
