Certain EPA and OSHA requirements must be followed when handling and recycling these batteries in the U.S. The lithium battery safety course teaches you the rules, how to prepare batteries for disposal, and how to safely get rid of them.

The course helped me refresh my safety knowledge for the construction site. The content was easy to follow and the real life examples made it more relatable. I have not been in training for a while, so I appreciated how it was not too overwhelming. I feel more confident about handling workplace safety. I now know what to do in emergencies.

This training was well-structured and practical for anyone working in a pharmacy. I took a Pharmacist training program and it covered medication safety and also patient communication. The examples were too real and the quizzes helped me learn better. It even met my continuing education requirements, so this course is a great choice.

The prep course was exactly what I needed to pass my exam on the first try. The practice tests matched the real settings so well that helped me boost my confidence to a new level. But I feel some resources were a little outdated. But overall I would say that it is worth every penny.

Content was clear and applicable to real-world scenarios. The navigation between sections on mobile devices needs improvement as some buttons did not render properly. Fix the mobile layout, and this would be a perfect experience.
