Hazard Communication

OSHA requires that personnel exposed to hazardous materials as part of their job assignment be informed of the hazards present in their respective work area.  This course specifically addresses Hazard Communication Standards and includes:  hazardous material identification, warning labels, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the employer’s written hazardous communication program requirements.

 Fall Protection

Each year, falls consistently account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry.  This course includes the identification of fall hazards, methods to minimize or eliminate fall hazards, safe working practices associated with elevated work surfaces, inspection, use and care of fall protection systems, limitations of fall protection and proper usage under current OSHA requirements. 

 Confined Space Entry

This course is designed to provide students with the knowledge of hazards involved with entry into confined spaces as defined under current OSHA requirements.  The following objectives are incorporated into the course material:  distinguishing between non-permit and permit-required confined spaces, atmospheric hazards associated with entry, signs, symptoms and consequences of exposure to atmospheric hazards, monitoring requirements, physical hazards associated with entry, roles and responsibilities of the personnel involved, equipment associated with entry and response to emergency situations encountered during entry.

 Aerial Lift Safety

This course is designed to provide students with sufficient knowledge and skills to safely operate an aerial lift per current OSHA requirements.  Curriculum includes:  identification of the different types of aerial lifts, principles of safe aerial lift operations, standard operating procedures, safety devices, area and equipment safety hazards, response and responsibilities during emergency situations, proper inspection of an aerial lift and safe operation.

 Lead Awareness

This course is designed for students to understand the requirements and responsibilities while working in areas or with materials/equipment containing lead.  Current OSHA requirements are utilized with the following subject matter:  hazards and pathways associated with lead, health effects of lead on men, women and children, areas that may contain lead in the workplace, permissible exposure limits, proper protective equipment, housekeeping, good work practices and the medical surveillance requirements when working with lead. 

 Asbestos Awareness

OSHA believes that employee training is a vital component of any successful program to control exposure to asbestos.  In addition to training, each employer is required to notify their employees if they are at risk to asbestos exposure.  This course is designed to provide students with the understanding of requirements and work practices necessary to safely work with asbestos containing materials or areas.  Subject matter includes:  identification of areas or items containing asbestos, distinguishing between the different types of asbestos, the pathway of asbestos into the body, health effects of asbestos exposure and methods of minimizing and/or preventing asbestos from becoming a work hazard.

The proper use of compressed gas is necessary for the safe operation of a facility.  If not properly controlled, injury or death may occur.  This course is designed to provide the student with the appropriate knowledge to safely utilize pressurized gas systems in accordance with current OSHA requirements.  The following curriculum is included:  hazard identification associated with pressurized gas cylinders, proper storage requirements, hazards associated with cryogenic gases, methods used to identify gases, proper transport requirements, required components of a pressurized gas system, methods used to safely detect leaks and precautions associated with response to a pressurized gas leak.

Hearing Protection

Hearing protection is not something to be taken lightly.  Once hearing is lost due to overexposure to high noise, it is gone forever.  This course is designed to provide the student with a greater understanding of hazardous noise levels, how the ear works and the importance of hearing protection.  Current OSHA requirements are incorporated with the following subject matter addressed:  definition of noise and sound, identification of noise categories, the function of the human ear and its components, the ability of the ear to detect different thresholds of noise, symptoms of hearing loss, situations that warrant the use of hearing protection and the different types of hearing protection available.
