ClickSafety has launched an OSHA 10-hour road construction safety course through its website at www.OSHA10.com. ClickSafety is the only online training company authorized by OSHA to distribute the course and, according to the company, it is expecting to train more than 10,000 road construction personnel in the US in 2009.
