OSHAcademy

What OSHAcademy does

OSHAcademy is the online occupational safety and health training division of Geigle Safety Group, Inc., a privately-held Oregon corporation founded around 2000 and headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. The platform delivers IACET-accredited OSHA-aligned training programs across six vertical segments — General Industry, Construction, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, HAZWOPER, and Public Sector (EM-385-1-1) — plus specialty offerings such as an 11-hour Tattoo and Body Art program. Program lengths range from 10-hour introductory modules up to a 233-hour Oil & Gas Professional track, with single-topic courses covering PPE, confined space, lockout/tagout, hazard communication, bloodborne pathogens, and HIPAA.

The core technology is a self-serve online learning management system that delivers course content, administers exams, generates certificates and official transcripts, and exposes a public certificate/ATP validation system. Distribution is multi-channel: a direct self-serve consumer site (oshatrain.org / oshacademy.com), an Authorized Training Provider (ATP) reseller network, request-based business and educator accounts with co-branding, an e-commerce store for supplementary materials, and learning partnerships with Columbia Southern University and Waldorf University, plus a union channel via IUE-CWA.

The business model is freemium with a pay-at-completion transaction layer. Course content is free; revenue is generated when learners purchase certificate packages (PDF and/or print formats), when organizations subscribe to business/educator accounts with volume discounts, and through one-time sales in the OSHAcademy Store. A veterans discount is offered as a customer-acquisition lever. The company has 11–50 employees, holds an A+ BBB rating, and operates without disclosed outside funding.
