OSHA Outreach Courses Introduce Buy Now Pay Later To Make Workplace Safety More Accessible


“Our aim is to make sure everyone has access to workplace certifications and we believe this move will go a long way in helping us achieve this goal,” says Farhan Siraj, Co-Founder and CEO of OSHA Outreach Courses. “Learners with budgetary constraints will benefit a great deal from this flexible payment model,” he emphasizes.

Interest Free Payments With Zero Additional Charges

Similar to how BNPL mode of payment is applied in other settings, OSHA Outreach Courses will not charge any interest payments from the learners. There will be no additional fee as long as the payments are made on the scheduled time. “You will still pay the same amount but the payments will be divided into equal monthly installments,” explains Farhan.

Smooth Verification Process

BNPL programs by different businesses often have a long and strenuous verification process. However, OSHA Outreach Courses has applied a painless process to verify those who wish to enroll in the OSHA 10 & OSHA 30 courses. The platform enforces a simple three step procedure to ensure that individuals can swiftly access the benefits of our payment flexibility.

Making OSHA Certifications Easily Attainable

Financial constraints often act as huge barriers, stopping people from getting OSHA certifications that will enhance their knowledge of workplace safety and improve their career prospects. OSHA Outreach Courses believes a limited budget shouldn’t come between workers and their aspirations to achieve professional growth.

Tips to Protect Your Home this Storm Season in New Jersey and New York


Here are some tips from Direct Public Adjusters to protect your home this storm season:

  • Have a plan. Before a storm hits, it’s important to have a plan in place for what you will do to protect your home. This plan should include things like boarding up windows, securing loose items, and evacuating if necessary.
  • Get an insurance checkup. Ensure that your homeowner’s insurance policy is up to date and that you understand the coverages included. You may also want to consider adding additional wind and hail damage coverage.
  • Inspect your home. Take some time to inspect your home for any potential weak spots that could be vulnerable to storm damage. This includes things like trees that are close to your home, loose shingles, and damaged gutters.
  • Trim trees. If you have trees near your home, make sure that they are trimmed so that they don’t fall on your house in a storm.
  • Secure loose items. Bring in any outdoor furniture, grills, and other loose items that could be blown away in a storm.
  • Board up windows. If you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes, it’s a good idea to board up your windows before a storm hits.
  • Evacuate if necessary. If you live in an area that is under a mandatory evacuation order, it’s important to evacuate your home.

By following these tips, you can help to protect your home from storm damage. If your home does suffer damage from a storm, Direct Public Adjusters can help you file an insurance claim and get the maximum compensation for your losses.

In partnership with the Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV), a public charter school that currently serves grades seven through 12, is expanding its middle school program to include sixth grade students beginning in the fall of 2024.

DUARTE, Calif., Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In partnership with the Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV) is expanding its middle school program to include sixth grade students beginning in the fall of 2024.

After enrolling at CSArts-SGV, middle school students attend academic classes through one of two DUSD K-8 academies, Maxwell Academy or Royal Oaks STEAM Academy. Once the academic day has concluded, middle school students receive exemplary arts instruction provided by CSArts-SGV faculty in a variety of art forms.

The middle school program allows students to begin their arts trajectory early and get acclimated to the culture and expectations of CSArts-SGV. Once students reach ninth grade, they can seamlessly transition to receiving full-day academic and arts instruction on the CSArts-SGV campus for their high school careers.

“We are so proud to be able to provide more students in the San Gabriel Valley with access to an excellent arts education. Through this expansion, younger students will receive fundamental training in the arts, as well as the confidence they need to better acclimate to our unique high school environment that offers students a dual arts and academic education,” said Stephen Cook, D.M.A, CSArts-SGV’s associate principal.

Prospective families will be able to learn about the school and the expanded middle school program at one of CSArts-SGV’s Preview Days this fall. At Preview Day, families will hear from CSArts-SGV administration and conservatory leadership, as well as current parents and students, about the school’s rigorous academic curriculum, pre-professional arts instruction, and unique school culture. They will also learn about the middle and high school admissions process.

Preview Day registration will open in early September at sgv.csarts.net/PreviewDay. Students entering grades six through 12 will be able to apply to join the CSArts-SGV family for the 2024-2025 school year once the online application becomes available in mid-October.
