Table 1: Respondents’ profile.  
Following the study of references regarding OSH training, the authors of the research developed a base of items related to the satisfaction associated with classic and online training. The starting point was the survey conducted by [PERSON] [38] on the satisfaction and effectiveness perceived by high school students in online learning. For the present research, the items were formulated in accordance with occupational health and safety training.  
The questionnaire was drawn up based on over 20 years of experience of the employees of \"Consultia\" SRL Brasov, Romania, as well as taking into account the information provided in the specialized literature, and it was structured in such a way as to obtain important information relevant for a sustained analysis of the online training of employees in the field of OSH [39; 40].  
The questionnaire was developed in order to measure the key aspects with regards to the online instruction of OSH, and it contains a total of 14 questionnaire items (QIs), indicators related to 2 directions considered strategic for the analysis: \"Availability for online training\" and \"Benefits of online training reported\".  
A total of 14 questionnaire items (QIs) presented in Table 2 were selected to assess the importance of online OSH training, taking into account the data presented by [PERSON] and [PERSON] [32], [PERSON] et al. [33], [PERSON] and [PERSON] [34], [PERSON] and [PERSON] [35], [PERSON] and [PERSON] [36] and [PERSON] et al. [37].  
The survey adopted a 5-point Likert-type response scale to measure satisfaction, efficiency and agreement with the values [24; 38; 41; 42; 43], ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree.
