Start with the work, not the binder
Before you pick courses, write down what your crews actually do: tank cleaning, hydroblasting, entering vessels, pits or vaults, hauling hazardous material. Each task points to the training it needs.
Begin with the highest-risk task
If your crews enter tanks, vessels, pits or other spaces with limited ways in and out, confined space entry is usually the place to begin. OSHA's permit-required confined spaces standard for general industry, 29 CFR 1910.146, requires training before an employee is first assigned that work, and again when their duties or the hazards change.
Confined Space Entry is the course Jonah offers today.
Week one: get people enrolled
- Create your company account.
- Add your crew, one at a time or from a spreadsheet.
- Tick the course for each person who needs it.
- Hand out sign-ins. Workers use their Employee ID and the password Jonah generates.
Weeks two to four: training happens on their phones
Workers train when it suits the job: in the truck, at the yard or at home, in English or Spanish. A course has a short course movie, sections with a video and questions, and a final test. When they pass, the certificate and a digital worker ID are issued immediately.
Attempts are unlimited. Nobody is locked out for failing: they see what they missed and try again.
End of the month: a record you can show
By the end of the month you should be able to open one screen and see who is current. Every certificate has a QR code anyone can scan to check its status, with no login, and every attempt is dated in the record.
What an online course is not
An online course teaches and tests knowledge. Your program still needs the parts that belong to your sites: permits, hazard evaluation, rescue arrangements and hands-on practice with your own equipment. Jonah gives you the training record. It does not replace those.
Where Jonah stops
Confined Space Entry is available today, and more courses are coming. Jonah is not legal advice, and OSHA does not approve training providers or issue certificates: the employer certifies the training.
