We do not collect or store payment card information directly. The book Failing to Fail is sold through Amazon and is subject to Amazon's own privacy policy.

Results from any assessment, evaluation, or Business Health Evaluation on this Site are provided for informational and self-reflection purposes only. They are not a certification, are not affiliated with or endorsed by OSHA or any regulatory body unless explicitly stated, and are not a guarantee or prediction of job performance, hiring outcomes, or business results.

Employers using these tools as part of a hiring process are solely responsible for ensuring their use complies with applicable employment laws. We recommend consulting your HR advisor or legal counsel before using assessment results in any hiring decision.

This Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Trades career-exploration content is intended for teens, young adults, parents, and educators.
