“Your chances of
contracting COVID-19 are
proportional to your
exposure and the length
of exposure, inverse to
how much and what you
do to mitigate the risk.”
― Anthony Fauci
Pre Or Post, The Primary Safety Issue Is The Same
• We forget 50% of what we learned within the
first hour
• Conventional safety training has a 45%
retention at the moment of training
• Conventional online training has a 65%
retention at the moment of training
• SafetyNow Retention Training has a 97%
recall up to three weeks after the initial
training
