NIWS Introduces New Online Workplace Training Programs

For over 15 years NIWS has delivered safety and compliance programs and employee training materials to hundreds of companies. Training employees is not only necessary to stay competitive in the global market, it is required by OSHA.

To address our clients’ needs, NIWS has partnered with Summit Training Source, Inc., a 25 year old company that is the premier resource for training solutions. Now you can have the power and reliability of NIWS training materials, combined with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of the STS internet training programs. This training is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – anytime, anywhere! We offer training courses on workplace safety, construction, transportation, hazardous materials, environmental topics, and more! Internet based courses offer a number of key advantages including:

• Reduce Downtime and Travel Costs - NIWS/STS offer companies looking for ways to reduce costs while conducting vital employee training and education a cost effective online state of the art program. This reduces cost for travel, time away from the company and lost productivity. With the NIWS/STS interactive online training, you can reduce training time by up to 50% while increasing retention and comprehension because the learner proceeds at their own pace.
• Effective Training - NIWS/STS programs combine STS proven content with video, state-of-the-art graphics, and animation, along with narration, to effectively train workers. NIWS programs incorporate the latest adult learning theories and interactivity to increase comprehension of critical environmental, health and safety information. Each lesson contains a quiz to measure and document comprehension and workers may communicate with system managers concerning questions or other information.
• Simplified Recordkeeping - Train, track, and reschedule training with the click of your mouse.
• Train Anytime, Anywhere – Whether you’re training one employee at a single site or hundreds at multiple locations, employees can log onto courses anytime, anywhere, without having to manage training materials distribution.

Along with all of these added benefits, Internet-based training courses also offer students the ability to take breaks between modules, access an online library for information and reference sources, and complete built-in exercises and quizzes to reinforce learning and retention.
