eTools, eMatrix, Expert Advisors and v-Tools
eTools and the eMatrix are "stand-alone," interactive, Web-based training tools on occupational safety and health topics. They are highly illustrated and utilize graphical menus. Some also use expert system modules, which enable the user to answer questions, and receive reliable advice on how OSHA regulations apply to their work site. Expert Advisors are based solely on expert systems and v-Tools are prevention video training tools. Selected eTools are available as downloadable files for off-line use.
Other training and reference materials are also available from the OSHA Directorate of Training and Education (DTE). In addition, OSHA also has other training videos available.

NEW Prevention Videos (v-Tools)
Construction Hazards. The videos show how quickly workers can be injured or killed on the job and are intended to assist those in the industry to identify, reduce, and eliminate construction-related hazards. Most of the videos are 2 to 4 minutes long, presented in clear, easily accessible vocabulary, and show common construction worksite activities. The videos may be used for employer and worker training.
DISCLAIMER: Some of the Expert Advisors referenced on this page were designed several years ago and although they should function using the latest versions of Windows without problem, there may be instances where they are no longer compatible (i.e., Windows 64-bit).
