Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of injury on the job. These injuries result in 1 or more days away from work, and for more severe injuries, you could be looking at weeks of lost workdays. Some workers might even be permanently disabled and unable to perform their normal jobs. Slips, trips, and falls are debilitating; costly; and, most importantly, largely preventable.
This course is for workers in industrial environments and discusses how to prevent slips, trips, and falls by recognizing hazards, applying safe work practices, and using fall prevention and protection systems.
Combustible dust is made up of fine particles that present a fire or explosion hazard when suspended in air under certain conditions. A dust explosion can cause serious injuries, fatalities, and destruction of buildings. Combustible dust hazards exist in a variety of industries including agriculture, chemical, food, grain, wood and lumber, paper, pulp and rubber, furniture and textiles, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and metals processing, and recycling operations.
This course is for employees who work in these industries and other work environments prone to dust and will help to identify combustible dust hazards and ways to prevent injury and illness from fires, flash fires, deflagration, and explosions.
Passenger vans are frequently used in health care, hospitality, education, and by nonprofit organizations for the transportation of 12 to 15 people. These vehicles are convenient and relatively affordable to maintain. However, they also pose unique safety risks, so anyone who drives a passenger van must be properly trained to recognize the hazards, carry out pre-trip inspections, and follow defensive driving and rollover prevention policies.
This course provides passenger van drivers and their supervisors with the information they need to safely transport passengers with minimal risk. The course covers potential federal and state regulations, hazards specific to passenger vans, loading and inspection best practices, and safe driving and handling techniques.
Additional training is required if the passenger van is considered a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
As much as you try to prevent them, accidents at work happen. Experts say that 11 workers die on the job every day in the United States— and an additional 5 million are injured over the course of a year. Those are staggering numbers, and we can do something about them.

This session provides information about electrical hazards in the construction industry and best safety practices for “unqualified persons” who may use common portable electrical tools but who are not familiar with the construction and operation of more complex electrical equipment and the hazards involved. “Unqualified” means that you are not specifically trained and authorized to work on or near energized electrical equipment and wiring. This session will teach you how important it is to work safely with electrical tools and around exposed, energized electrical equipment.
Esta sesión proporciona información sobre los riesgos eléctricos en la industria de la construcción y las mejores prácticas de seguridad para las «personas no cualificadas» que pueden utilizar herramientas eléctricas portátiles comunes, pero que no están familiarizadas con la construcción y el funcionamiento de equipos eléctricos más complejos ni con los riesgos que estos conllevan. Se entiende por «no cualificada» aquella persona que no ha recibido capacitación ni autorización específicas para trabajar en equipos y cableado eléctricos energizados, o en sus proximidades. Esta sesión le enseñará la importancia de trabajar de manera segura con herramientas eléctricas y en las cercanías de equipos eléctricos energizados y expuestos.
This session is designed for all employees. Too many people think good housekeeping in the workplace just means sweeping up at the end of the shift. But good housekeeping is a lot more than that. It is the foundation of an effective accident prevention program. A neat, clean, and orderly workplace is a safe workplace.
Rough terrain forklifts are a special class of forklifts, known as Class 7 powered industrial trucks, that are designed to carry heavy loads safely indoors and outdoors on rugged and sloped surfaces and in adverse weather conditions. This presentation will review the hazards and explain what you can do to prevent accidents and injuries when operating these lift trucks. The course does not cover vehicles used for earth-moving or over-the-road hauling.
This safety training module is for entrants at permit-required confined spaces where construction work is performed, including building new structures or upgrading existing ones.
When an employee at your facility reports an injury, do you know how to determine whether it should be recorded on your Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300 log, when an injury or illness case is considered work-related, and when an incident warrants a phone call to OSHA?
This course provides supervisors, managers, and other personnel responsible for recording work-related injuries and illnesses with information to comply with OSHA’s injury and illness recordkeeping rule, including electronic recordkeeping and informing workers of their rights and responsibilities for reporting injuries.
By the end of the training, you will be able to determine whether your employer is required to keep injury and illness records; determine whether an injury or illness is a recordable case; fill out recordkeeping forms properly; report fatalities and severe injuries to the government; determine whether your establishment is required to submit records electronically to OSHA; and inform employees of their rights to report injuries and illnesses free from retaliation.
