For me personally, daily life as I know it has taken a strong turn sideways as many businesses in my community are temporarily shut down and the normal supply chains are interrupted. Some of you may find yourself working from home, or not working at all, and I’m sorry for the disruption this can cause.

Because we are 100% online, know that we at UST Training are working normal office hours. We’re here and ready to help you stay in compliance with the UST regulations.

If you find yourself stuck at home or have some spare time and need a break, consider the following things we are offering.

Free Online Coronavirus Prevention Training

Hello UST Training Community:

First, I hope you and your family and friends are safe and in good health. The frustration and uncertainty created by the spread of the Coronavirus is shared at our office as at least one of our live classes is postponed and daily office routine is disrupted, to say the least.

A company we work with, Easy Generator, has created a free online class about prevention measures for the Corinavirus (Officially: COVID-19) that we’d like to share with you. The course is free, interactive, takes about 20 minutes, and looks very helpful. Please share this with family, friends and co-workers.

Check out the free training class now

Here’s to staying healthy and safe,

Ben Thomas
President, UST Training, Inc.
