On this page you will find a brief description of the training modules contained within the RLS Safety Training Software.  Each lesson in our system allows trainees to move through the information at their own pace, gives them a test to ensure that they understand the key information covered, prints the test documentation for personnel records and maintains all records in a database. RLS Safety Training Software utilizes simplified graphics and text combined with a straight forward, common sense approach to training. This method allows employees to grasp more information and retain the data.
