The IOD's Raising Awareness to Increase Safety in Employment (RAISE) project provides attendees with critical job-safety skills and knowledge they need to be safe at work via our FREE, interactive, accessible, and fun trainings.
We ask that all registrants please complete both portions of the registration process before attending the training:
- The Registration survey lets us learn more about who you are. At the end of the Registration survey, you will be sent to a linked Pre-Test.
- The Pre-Test is not graded, but it does give us an idea as to what you might already know about workplace health and safety and will help us see what you learn from the training. The Pre-Test also asks which training date you would like to attend, as well as any accommodations you would like to request. After you finish the Pre-Test, you will receive an email with the Zoom link.
If you are registering more than yourself, please contact Caitlyn Fulton to receive a printable version of the Pre-Test to share with your co-registrants.
Please note that we will need at least a seven-day advance notice of any accommodation needs in order to provide the best service possible.
