The standard outlines measures for controlling hazardous energies—electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other energy sources.

In addition, 29 CFR 1910.333 sets forth requirements to protect employees working on electric circuits and equipment. This course will teach the utility operator, maintenance staff, and field personnel how to protect themselves from hazardous energy.

The goal of the Emergency Action Program/Fire Protection Program course is to provide a knowledgeable understanding of the origins of fires, sources of fires, how to protect yourself, and how to prevent fires from occurring. It also deals with creating an Emergency Action Program in the event you should need it.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 3% of all workplace fatalities are a result of fires or explosions. Fires can and do happen just about anywhere. This course will give you a good understanding of fire safety, including an understanding of the variety of elements that can come together to make a fire (static and electrical discharges, friction, vapor pressure, chain reactions, and flash points). This is important because if you understand the many different ways a fire or explosion can occur and have the knowledge to mitigate these circumstances, you can create a safer work environment for you and those around you.

This course was developed using the OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.150 pertaining to fire safety. This course also covers the various types and proper use of firefighting equipment, as well as the proper storage of flammables, combustibles, and liquefied petroleum gases.

The primary hazard from trenching and excavation is employee injury from collapse. Soil Analysis is important in order to determine appropriate sloping, benching, and shoring.

Additional hazards include working with heavy machinery, manual handling of materials, working in proximity to traffic, electrical hazards from overhead and underground power lines, and underground utilities like natural gas.

This in-depth Excavation & Trenching Safety Course is designed to instruct the worker, per OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.650 standard, on the various hazards associated with this type of work, as well as instruct the worker on the proper procedures and controls to ensure safe work practices. A printable certificate will be issued upon completion of the course and exam.

Falls to lower levels are attributed to 14% of all fatalities for workers in FY 2014, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When you add fatalities from falls, slips, and trips, the percentage rises to 17%. OSHA has recorded falls to be the #1 cause of death in the construction industry, with 359 out of 899 in CY 2014 (39.9%).

The Walking-Working Surfaces rule for General Industry (GI) has been a long time coming for regulators. There have been fall protection rules with vague or missing wording in the 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D standard ever since it was adopted in 1971. In 1984, an OSHA standard directive number STD 01-01-013 outlined what was the way to cite a general industry worker on an elevated surface above 4 feet. The worker would be cited as a violation of the general duty clause of the OSH Act Section 5(a)(1) or 29 CFR 1910.23(c)(1), depending on a technical definition of the platform. These new regulations to Subpart D and I have made the fall protection requirements for general industry aligned to a great degree with construction.

This 4-hour Fall Protection Training is designed to give the frontline supervisor, general contractor, or owner the needed information to:

• Recognize a fall hazard

• Identify at-risk behavior

• Learn how to control the fall hazard through hazard control techniques

• Learn how to train workers in fall protection

• Comply with OSHA fall protection rules for construction and general industry

• Lockout/Tagout

• Heat Stress Awareness

2. Proper entry equipment:

• Gas detectors

• Rescue equipment

• Respiratory protection equipment

• Lockout/Tagout devices

• Ventilation system

Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise, and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that employers protect their employees from workplace hazards that can cause injury.

Using the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) will help to ensure that employees remain safe when working around the many hazards a workplace can have. It is critical that workers have a working knowledge of the various types of personal protective equipment and how to use each type properly. To reduce the possibility of failure, PPE must also be maintained and stored properly. This Personal Protective Equipment Safety course will equip you with the knowledge and understanding needed to stay safe.

If you work, or are going to be working, in or around scaffolds and at height, then this 4-hour Scaffolding Safety Training course (meets OSHA standard for scaffolding 29 CFR 1926.451)  will provide you with a solid foundation on how you can do this type of work safely.

Course Topics Include:

1. Appropriate scaffold construction methods, which include:

• Erecting, moving, or altering scaffolds properly

2. Ensuring stable access on scaffolds

3. Hazards involved with scaffolds

4. Inspection and fall protection are also discussed.

The Walking-Working Surfaces standard (29 CFR 1910 Subpart D Walking-Working Surfaces) can be viewed from the perspective of two major categories: One relates to the hazards associated with falls at the same level, and the other relates to the hazards associated with falls from elevated surfaces.

This Walking & Working Surface Training course touches on several areas of consideration, such as maintaining a clean workplace, providing safe access to and egress from any horizontal or vertical surface on or through which a person walks, works, or gains access to a workplace location. The requirements include those surfaces inside work facilities as well as on company property. The primary purpose of this standard is to provide adequate protection from falls by addressing conditions in the work areas and building structures.

Knowing ergonomic applications in the workplace and understanding terminology used by medical professionals and safety regulators will help you look at the way you use your body to work and play in a different way. It doesn’t matter if you work in an office, on a construction site, or behind a counter serving customers. The principles of ergonomics presented in this 4-hour course will improve your way of life. You will learn about employer regulatory requirements and how important it is to follow your employer’s Ergonomic Work Plan.

Under federal law, the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1),  regulated by OSHA, employers have an obligation to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards.  Ergonomics falls into this category, and the goal of this course is to provide awareness of ergonomic hazards and how to avoid or correct unhealthy behaviors when working on the job site.
