###### Abstract  
This study analyses the opinion of 200 employees who participated in the first online training in the field of occupational health and safety systems (OSHs) from Romania, for which an online platform was used, with the records on electronic files with a qualified electronic signature. The usefulness of this online training was analyzed based on the voluntary answers of the participants to a questionnaire related to 14 questionnaire items (QIs). In order to correctly interpret the results of the applied test, a statistical processing of the answers was carried out, and the following were calculated (using SPSS 23.0 software): the factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, the Bartlett's test, the extraction method, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the Cronbach alpha test and the Kruskal-Wallis \(H\)-test. The calculations highlighted two essential strategies: \"Availability for online training\" (S1) and \"Challenges of online training\" (S2). The conclusion of this study provides an overview of the importance of online training strategies in OSH activity and can help researchers and practitioners to improve this activity, reducing the rejection of its use among managers and authorities, thus providing a new reference for future research. safety; training; digital platform; questionnaire; essential strategies; decision making +
Footnote †: journal:  
* The training is conducted for groups of up to 20 people, who have different abilities to process and retain the information;
* The training is entered exclusively in the training records with a holographic signature;
* The workers have to travel to the training room, consuming time and fuel resources and, therefore, financial resources for transportation;
* In the event of a checkup, the company's representatives have to travel to Territorial Labor Inspectorate offices to present the documents requested by labor inspectors, which implies spending time and fuel. The optimization of this process must have in mind a wide applicability, addressing all categories of participants in the work process: employers, employees, workers and government authorities with responsibilities in the field of occupational health and safety, the prevention and extinguishing of fires and labor relations. In terms of management process optimization, the management of occupational health and safety-related documents can be very efficiently achieved using the electronic management of documents, with digital distance learning being effective distance and involving low costs [4; 5; 6]. The importance of digital platforms has been highlighted in various studies, covering multiple fields of activity such as entrepreneurial activities [7; 8; 9; 10], business strategies [11; 12], Open Platform Communication [13; 14], education [15; 16; 17], digital divide research [18; 19; 20], industrial processes [21; 22] and others. According to specialized studies [23; 24], the safety training remains an important means to improve safety at the workplace. According to previous studies [24; 25], workers think that training is the most important factor that makes the workplace safer. The present study is also based on the data provided by the statistical documents of labor inspection at the national level. In these documents, it is emphasized that in the first place, at the top of the most frequent problems in the field of health and safety at work, one finds the improper/incomplete training of workers in the field of OSH, with a percentage of 15% from all the problems. Following the completion by the company \"Consultia\" Srl Brasov (Romania) of the first online training in the field of occupational health and safety systems (OSHs) from Romania, for which an online platform was used (SSM.ro) with the records on electronic files with a qualified electronic signature, a questionnaire was made available for the trainees who wanted to voluntarily express their opinion (200 participants) about this new method (feedback from the client).
