Stupid training graphics
Jan. 7th, 2010 05:26 pmDo the folks at the EPA, OSHA, and the Department of Transportation think they're cute by having the HAZMAT training and emergency response refresher course filled with obnoxious little graphics and shit, while being slowly read aloud by an annoying male voice?
Dude, just send me a basic outline, let me read it, and let me take the test to prove I haven't forgotten this shit. SERIOUSLY. I've turned off the volume for the narration, but I still have to wait for each page of the training presentation to play through.
WHYYYYY???
I'm already well-trained in emergency response. Chemical spills, chemical exposures, hazmat shit... yeah, I know this stuff. I deal with it daily. And now I've got to prove that I remember a bunch of stupid acronyms for federal regulations so that the next time some idiot researcher with more technical know-how than common sense decides to douse himself or herself with a toxic chemical, or spill an organic solvent in a public walkway, or cross-contaminate an entire lab with unknown substances, I can try to keep the damage to a minimum.
After this section, I'm going HOME.
