Public Entity Partners Introduces New Online Training Option

Public Entity Partners is excited to introduce our members to our new online training offerings through Safety National. Our previous online training platform, Local Government Risk Academy, is now only offered to our insured law enforcement agencies.

Safety National’s cloud-based system offers the ability to assign, track and report on all of your organization’s training activities. With more than 1,000 interactive courses, along with hundreds of videos on relevant topics to assist in training individual employees or entire departments, this competency-based training can help organizations meet their safety training goals to prevent accidents and losses.

The Safety National course library provides full-length courses averaging 15-25 minutes in length, while the microlearning courses average 5-7 minutes. All courses ensure a front-seat learning experience.

Safety National continuously updates titles with new content, fresh imagery and improved features to ensure the courses remain accurate, relevant and engaging. Courses are always compliant with updated OSHA and international regulations.

PE Partners is in the process of creating tracks for our members to follow throughout the year.

Recommended courses to take in October for Fire Prevention Month include:

• Fire Safety: Fire emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere and in any industry. Fires are one of the most common emergencies to contend with in workplaces and can be one of the most harmful if not dealt with properly. This course will give employees the knowledge to safely react and respond to a fire emergency in their workplace. Employees will learn the basics of how fires work, along with common fire hazards, techniques for fire prevention, and procedures for fire response and evacuation.

• Portable Fire Extinguishers: According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are more than 1.3 million reported fires in the United States every year. If you encounter a fire at home or on the job, a portable fire extinguisher can help you protect yourself and possibly stop the fire in its tracks. This course will introduce employees to portable fire extinguishers, how they work and when to use them.
