Welcome
to the Online Popcorn Safety Training Program
Our Safety program is both serious and
comprehensive. When you have completed this training program you will have a
very full understanding of the issues and precautions regarding popcorn machines
which will greatly decrease the likelihood of injuries. If you are renting from
us and reading this you have promised to successfully complete our Safety
Certification Program. If you decide you do not want, or you can not complete
and pass the Safety Certification Program, we will provide trained and certified
staff, for your party, at your expense. At no time will we leave any of our
equipment to be used without a competent, certified supervisor.

Videos
Most of the videos are under a
minute each. Please listen to, and view, each segment. When you press on a link
in the box at the bottom (or to the right,)
of
this
screen,
your computer will get the video segment you requested and
then the computer will prepare the clip to play on a Real One Player, (or
another player,) which is normally already on your computer. The whole
process may take a minute or so depending on the speed of your Internet
connection, the speed of your computer, and how many other people are viewing
the videos at the same time you want to view them. While you are waiting
use the time to read the included material below. We suggest the videos if
you can only select one training method. The best method is the Video and
written material together, which starts below. The Slide Presentation is
optional. There are step by step photos also below, but you need to watch the
video/read the material to fully understand the photos.
(Sometimes the video on Real Player will stop prematurely, so be sure each segment is viewed
completely!)
