This guide is designed to help trainees successfully complete training exams sent via email or text message by their account administrator. Unlike some apps that allow exams to be taken directly within the app, Safety Reports exams are created by administrators online and delivered to trainees via email or text. The exams are completed in a web browser, with responses recorded for review.

Click the Exam Link: The email will include a blue link titled Toolbox Talk Exam Link. Click this link to open a browser window where you can review the training material and complete the exam.

If you encounter an error saying the exam has expired or was deleted, contact your account administrator for assistance.
Option 2: Text Message Recipient
