Industry Note:
Do Your HEAT Compliance Training In Small Pieces
Published on Tue May 17, 2011
Don't have the time to sit through the nearly four-hour HEAT training session the HHS Office of Inspector General has posted? Now you can divide it up into manageable sessions. Background: The OIG posted the video from its May 18 Washington, D.C. session of the HEAT compliance training it gave in sold-out sessions in six cities across the country earlier this year. Now the OIG has posted the video in 16 modules. The shortest is one minute and the longest is 34 minutes. See links to the modules and their titles at http://go.usa.gov/Dzr. Warning: The modules on the OIG site are shown via youtube, so they won't play if your workplace blocks that website.
