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.

A Bold Career Shift into Construction Safety

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.

Finding the Right Courses at the Right Time

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.

A Standout Experience with OSHAcademy
