BWC Library Question of the Month A question received by the library over the past month with our response.
Question:
Does OSHA have guidelines for how employers can assist employees who have learning disabilities while they take online training courses? Are we permitted to read the test questions outload for example?
Answer:
The OSHA Outreach Training Center provides this response on their website: "Although testing is not required by OSHA, trainers have the option of administering a test to evaluate learning. It is at the discretion of the trainer to determine whether or not a student has successfully completed the class. Because OSHA does not require testing in these classes, the agency has not issued specific requirements for trainers regarding tests being administered orally as opposed to written tests. For this reason, it is recommended that students discuss any accommodation needs related to their learning environments prior to selecting a trainer. This includes questioning trainers about their accommodations for students with a learning disability."
