The final exam was about 30 questions in the same style as the module quizzes, it took about 5 minutes.

Would not recommend.
I worked for a community college and had to do these exact same style modules (my guess is it's the same company) for things like sexual harassment training, title 9 training, etc, etc constantly. I generally just put them on in the background while I did something else, and just clicked through the quizzes when they popped up. They felt designed to be impossible to fail, especially the sexual harassment ones. Lotta stuff like "Jane has asked Bill not to slap her behind when she's done a good job, is she being an upright bitch or is this sexual harassment?"

From a few pages back but this reminded me, does anyone in here have the 40 hour HAZWOPER training? I don't think I probably need it for my current EHS job but I see it mentioned in the occasional EHS vacancy I see online. It doesn't cost all that much, but christ, sitting in front of a computer for 40 hours would be rough.
If nothing else be careful if it isn't immediately applicable to your day job because online hazwoper 40 doesn't technically give you a real hazwoper 40 cert your first time around. You need a practical hands on donning and doffing of a space suit and an incident drill to fulfill all requirements.

Instruction without hands on is technically a hazwoper 40 refresher. I keep saying technically because it's not like the OSHA man is going to pop out of the closet during an interview and say "not actually certified!"

Hazwoper 40 is going to be required for any position where you might work in the incident response team in an incident especially as a possible commander or someone answering to the commander, or planning of incident responses. If you aren't the one getting into the space suit or on the hook to become an incident commander ex. You're a safety professional helping document and plan incident responses, or someone who could be working in the cold zone during an incident, 24 hour is usually enough.

See, you're thinking like a decent human being. There's going to be a bunch of incels and/or Boomers who read a question like that and immediately answer A.

Had to do one of those for Osha on a previous job, but much simpler for a previous job. It was still like an hour of mind numbingly obvious poo poo presented by the a black hole of charisma behind an animated crash test dummy, topped off by a lame 'joke' at the end about how obnoxious the thing was. CAn't even imagine having to do that poo poo for 10 hours or more.

The forklift exam I took was similar. Four hours of videos and lectures, lunch, then two hours of practical (three people took the course at once). The person presenting was amazed that I finished the test at the end of the first half in five minutes. It was twenty question of extremely obvious multiple choice poo poo (When is it safe to stand on a lift's forks? Never, Only for a minute, Only in a trailer, Any time? Stuff like that). All that told me was the quality of people they expected to be hiring.

No, because that would actually have been kind of funny. (and cost the company more than $0, so it's obviously not something they even considered)

One normally holds THE loving HANDLE THAT'S RIGHT loving THERE, yes. And you move the thing you're working on so you don't have to hold the tool at a funny angle. Also, in the very next shot, he's working on something that he's holding with his other hand, as opposed to securing with any manner of vice or clamp.

I worked for a family friends contractor helping move and fix up a warehouse, and I distinctly remember them using a forklift to raise a guy up on the forks to do stuff on the upper level. And a lot of jokes about osha

We had a cage you slid the forks into, then chained to the lift, at my last warehouse job. Had a little safety rope and safety chains across the entrance. It was old as hell and so was the forklift.

In the army, we'd just strap a pallet to the forks and strap an idiot to the pallet.

I've almost never exploded cutting disks while cutting things.

But man the times I have really reinforced my habits of using only undamaged cutting disks, never grinding things with cutting disks, making sure my grinder and guard are properly positioned, and wearing eyepro while grinding.

Those probably have walk-out basements in back. That can only be one of a handful of neighborhoods if it's actually Nashville. Chances are it's more likely Brentwood or Franklin or Green Hills and not Nashville proper. It's a rich rear end in a top hat neighborhood, regardless.

That's fairly standard on hilly terrain. Excavating a full basement costs money. Leveling the foundation is far cheaper, so just making a crawl space of variable height is much more common.

In our house, the crawl space is high enough to stand up in at one end, is literally crawl space at the other. There's a door on it and it's for storing lawn mowers and such.

We have a deck off the first floor of the house, which is ground level at one end and 15' in the air at the other.
