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.
This course provides information about federal oil pollution prevention regulations, and specifically the requirements for Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans and Facility Response Plans (FRPs). This course is intended for personnel who handle oil at their facilities and those who may be involved in oil spill response activities. When oil spills into the environment and reaches bodies of water, it can have harmful impacts on the environment, human health, and economic activity. The main objective of this session is to give you the information you need to help prevent, control, and respond to oil spills.
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.
Emergency situations involving damage to property or injury to co-workers can and do occur at facilities that handle hazardous wastes. This training session will focus on emergency response procedures required under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, regulations for personnel at hazardous waste large quantity generators, or LQGs, and hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs. In addition, this session will address the actions you can take to help prevent or mitigate an emergency’s often devastating effects and describe the various emergencies that could potentially occur at your workplace and how to respond to them. The EPA regulations address the hazardous waste facility preparedness and prevention requirements for emergencies at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for LQGs at 40 CFR 262.250 to 262.256, for TSDFs at 40 CFR 264.30 to 264.37, and for hazardous waste small quantity generators, SQGs, at 40 CFR 262.16(b)(8) and 40 CFR 262.16(b)(9).
The session also applies to SQGs, although these generators are not required to have formal written training programs for their employees or a written contingency plan.
Note that this session does not address the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, hazardous waste operations and emergency response, or HAZWOPER, or hazard communication requirements.
In the laboratory, lasers are commonly used in instruments like spectrometers, microscopes, and alignment or measurement tools. Although these and other instruments are essential for lab work, the exposure to radiation from the laser is a hazard that can cause eye and skin damage to employees, as well as property damage at the facility if proper precautions and procedures aren’t followed. This training course is for laboratory workers who use instruments containing lasers to help them prevent exposure to laser radiation.
Additional training is required for workers who service and maintain lasers.
Compliance:
In addition to this course, employees who operate higher power Class 3B and Class 4 lasers must be provided with site-specific training based on a hazard assessment conducted at the facility by a laser safety officer. The training must include the guidelines in the American National Standards Institute Laser Safety Standard Z136.1 for Safe Use of Lasers (ANSI Z136.1).
Working with or around chemicals in a laboratory setting may present serious hazards to your physical safety and health. However, these hazards can be reduced and controlled by following a few simple steps. Safety procedures for the facility where you work are outlined in a document called the chemical hygiene plan, or CHP, which is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA. In this training session, we will discuss the provisions of this plan, including the information and procedures that will protect you and others while working in the laboratory.
There are many hazards associated with welding, cutting, and brazing. Following proper procedures and wearing the appropriate protective gear can reduce your risk of injury. Fire prevention is a major concern, and applying controls can prevent fires and explosions.
The objectives of this session are to discuss important safety points about welding and cutting.
Working in a hazardous waste facility exposes you to numerous safety and health hazards. To prevent accidents and injuries, you must perform your job correctly and carefully. You must also understand the relationship between your job function and other functions within the facility.
While this course focuses on the responsibilities of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or (TSDFs), and large quantity generators, or LQGs, of hazardous waste, all employees involved in hazardous waste management should be familiar with routine facility operations, waste acceptance policies and procedures, equipment maintenance requirements, and emergency preparedness, prevention, and response.
This training session discusses all these important topics to familiarize you with a facility’s hazardous waste management program and its emergency procedures so you can stay safe on the job.

Los resbalones, tropiezos y caídas se encuentran entre las causas más comunes de lesiones en el trabajo. Estas lesiones provocan 1 o más días de ausencia laboral y, en el caso de lesiones más graves, usted podría enfrentar semanas de días de trabajo perdidos. Algunos trabajadores incluso podrían quedar permanentemente discapacitados y no poder realizar sus trabajos habituales. Los resbalones, tropiezos y caídas son debilitantes, costosos y, lo más importante, en gran medida prevenibles.
Este curso está dirigido a trabajadores en entornos industriales y analiza cómo prevenir resbalones, tropiezos y caídas mediante el reconocimiento de peligros, la aplicación de prácticas de trabajo seguras y el uso de sistemas de prevención y protección contra caídas.
Compressed gases are commonly used in laboratory operations. However, these gases present real hazards. They can lead to fires and explosions, toxic contaminations that adversely affect the health of workers, and even widespread public health emergencies that may lead to an evacuation if not handled, used, or stored properly.
Laboratory employees are responsible for using these gases safely. This means not only understanding the qualities and hazards of the gases themselves, but also learning the proper procedures for handling, using, and storing the cylinders containing these gases.
This training session focuses on working safely with compressed gases and cylinders in the laboratory.
