Included Courses
Bloodborne Pathogens
Occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious bodily fluids could result in the transmission of blood borne pathogens which could lead to disease or death. During training we will discuss the different types of infectious diseases; the situations in which you could potentially be exposed; how to protect yourself using PPE; how to dispose of biohazards; and what to do if you may have been exposed.
Fire Extinguisher Training
A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user, or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire brigade. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire. Types of, how they are categorized, and how to use were discussed during training.
Hazard Communicatons / Right-to-Know
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is based on a simple concept — that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to when working. They also need to know what protective measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring. This training will provide the knowledge and steps to understand responsibilities, manufactures labels, identify hazard symbols and understand safety data sheets. These efforts will help prevent the occurrence of work-related illnesses and injuries caused by chemicals.
Slips, Trips, & Falls
Identifying good housekeeping practices that eliminate slip, trip, and fall hazards is an important part of any prevention program. During this training we discuss this along with:
- Recognizing the definitions of slips, trips, and falls and the types of injuries occurring.
- Identifying safety requirements for stairs, walkways, and other open-sided, elevated surfaces that help prevent slips, trips, and falls.
- Recognizing behaviors that could result in personal injury, disability, death, property damage, and lost production.
- Workplace designs to help eliminate injuries.
Confined Space
Confined space accidents are of particular concern in occupational safety and health due to the hazards that they pose to the victim and subsequently to a rescue team. Confined space training outlines the skills and protocols for safe entry to confined spaces, and includes precautions such as locking and tagging out connecting piping, testing of breathable air quality, forced ventilation, observation of workers in the space, and a predetermined rescue plan with appropriate safety harnesses and other rescue equipment standing by.
Hearing Conservation
The purpose of this webinar is to educate participants on noise-induced hearing loss, discuss the causes of noise-induced hearing loss and increase the participants’ awareness of the need to wear personal hearing protection. During the webinar noise-induced hearing loss is defined, the signs and symptoms are discussed. We examine the different types of hearing protection and their noise reduction rating. The webinar also reviews the benefits of personal hearing protection and the methods to protect our hearing.
Roof Safety
According to the National Safety Council, over 6,000 people die from falls each year caused by such factors as falling off roofs and ladders. Therefore, OSHA requires fall protection for workers on surfaces over six feet off the ground that do not have protection along the surface edges. During training we will discuss the different hazards associated with working on a roof and the behaviors that could result in personal injury, disability, death, or property damage. We will then review several fall-protection systems available to prevent these types of falls.
Ladders, Climbing and Aerial Equipment
This training session covers the OSHA regulations in regards to Ladders and Aerial Equipment as it relates to the telecommunications industry. Statistics, Hazards and Common Risks are highlighted along with proper use of Ladders and Aerial Equipment. When employees are finished with this training they will be able to identify hazards and what steps to take to minimize exposure.
Back Injury Safety in the Workplace
Since 8 out of 10 individuals will suffer a back injury during their life time and back injuries are second to the common cold for missed work days, a solid back safety program is critical for the success of your business. This program helps you and your employees prevent back injuries and reduce their associated costs. This program provides employees a better understanding of:
- How the back works
- Proper body mechanics
- Common back injuries
- Risk factors
- Preventive measures
Severe Weather Recognition
Knowing what to do during an emergency is an important part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count. Some of the things you can do to prepare for the unexpected, such as making an emergency supply kit and developing an emergency plan, are the same for both a natural or man-made emergency. This webinar explains thunderstorms, Floods, Tornados, Extreme Heat, and Winter Weather and suggests life-saving actions you can take. With this information, you can recognize severe weather, develop a plan, and be ready to act when threatening weather approaches.
Insects, Plants, and Ticks
Any person working outdoors is at risk of exposure to poisonous plants and biting insects. Although most allergic reactions cause little more than redness and itching, in some rare cases these reactions can be quite severe. Therefore, it is best to be able to identify these plants and insects to prevent an exposure and know the first aid in case you come in contact with them. During this class we review plants such as poison ivy, poison sumac, and wild parsnip and hazardous insects such as bees, wasps, mosquitos, spiders, and ticks.
Trenching and Excavation
Trenching and excavation work; it’s the starting point of most projects. Before you dig, there’s a lot you need to know. The most common type of hazard encountered in trenching and excavation work is the trench cave-in, but there are other hazards that may not be as well known. Basic knowledge of concepts such as soil types, soil testing, types of trench collapses, trench protection, and safe work practices is what we need to be focused on before entering a trench.
Traffic Management
This session provides information to help minimize incidents in work zones. The course contains information needed to help develop and implement Traffic Control Plans with regards to safety and current regulations.
