This training session focuses on safe rigging for crane and derrick operations at construction sites.
A critical job for the safety of any crane or derrick operation is rigging the load. A poor rigging job can lead to injured workers, property damage, or other serious consequences. Rigging is the most time consuming of any crane operation and represents the greatest hazard potential.
In this training session we’ll cover the fundamentals of rigging cranes and derricks to safely hoist loads and discuss safe work practices that will protect you from injuries related to rigging.
Esta sesión de capacitación se centra en el aparejo seguro para las operaciones con grúas y torres de perforación en los sitios de construcción.
Un trabajo fundamental para la seguridad de cualquier operación con grúa o torre de perforación es el aparejo de la carga. Un trabajo de aparejo deficiente puede provocar lesiones a los trabajadores, daños a la propiedad u otras consecuencias graves. El aparejo es la operación que más tiempo requiere y representa el mayor riesgo potencial.
En esta sesión de capacitación cubriremos los aspectos básicos del aparejo de grúas y torres de perforación para elevar cargas de manera segura y analizaremos las prácticas de trabajo seguras que lo protegerán de lesiones relacionadas con el aparejo.
Operating a forklift is a big responsibility, and it’s one that requires you to pay attention to safety at all times. Forklifts are useful for handling heavy materials but remember that they are powerful machines that can be extremely dangerous if operated incorrectly.
This course is designed to help you become a better and safer forklift operator. If you’re an experienced operator, this course may remind you of safe habits and work practices that you might have forgotten. If you’re a new operator, this course will describe the operating practices you need to follow to be a safe operator. If you are an experienced operator but are new to the state of California, this course should alert you to some new practices not required elsewhere.
This session covers the basic concepts of operating a forklift safely and prepares you for hands-on operator training. CAL/OSHA has strict requirements on all manners of operation and equipment, which we will discuss in general throughout this training session.
This presentation is about knowing what dangerous gases are and how to protect yourself from them at work. The main objective of this session is to make sure you, as a construction worker, know the broad scope of gas safety and what is required to comply with the law.
Seguridad del gas para los trabajadores en construcción:
Esta presentación es sobre cómo saber qué son los gases peligrosos y cómo protegerse de ellos en el trabajo.
El objetivo principal de esta sesión es asegurarse de que usted, como trabajador de la construcción, conozca el amplio alcance de la seguridad del gas y lo que se requiere para cumplir con la ley.
The objectives of this session are to discuss important safety points about welding and cutting. By the end of the session, you will be able to identify the major safety and health hazards, know the different welding processes, select appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, and implement controls needed to prevent or control fires.
Los objetivos de esta sesión son abordar puntos importantes de seguridad relacionados con la soldadura y el corte. Al finalizar la sesión, usted será capaz de identificar los principales riesgos para la seguridad y la salud, conocer los diferentes procesos de soldadura, seleccionar el equipo de protección personal (EPP) adecuado e implementar los controles necesarios para prevenir o controlar incendios.
Construction is a high-hazard industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving demolition, alteration, and/or repair. Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy equipment, and being exposed to the release of hazardous energy. These hazards put workers in harm’s way, which is also known as being “in the line of fire.”
This course provides information to help workers in the construction industry to identify, reduce, and eliminate “in the line of fire” hazards to avoid injuries and fatalities.
Workers will need additional training depending on the types of hazards they’re exposed to. For example, workers exposed to fall hazards will need to take a fall protection-specific course.
Workers who enter permit-required confined spaces are potentially exposed to hazards from oxygen-deficient, energized systems, engulfment, entrapment, and toxic materials. Fortunately, there are effective and well-established safe practices, testing protocols, and hazard controls that can prevent injuries and illnesses caused by these hazards. This course is for all employees assigned to permit-required confined space entry, including supervisors, authorized entrants, attendants, and rescue personnel.
Certain roles including supervisors, authorized entrants, attendant and rescue personnel may need additional training not covered in this course.
Compliance:
To supplement this course, employers are required to provide employees with the following, per 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.146:
• Two-way communication
• Hands-on practice
• Verification of competence
• Site-specific information
This course provides information for employees performing tasks that may expose them to hazards like dipping, coating, and cleaning operations. The general term “dipping and coating” covers a wide variety of operations, including paint dipping, degreasing, and electroplating. When you work in dipping or coating operations, you need to understand the hazards and corresponding precautions to minimize risk factors and reduce accidents, injuries, or illnesses at work.
This session provides basic hazard awareness and safe work practices for workers who use scaffolds to safely perform construction, repair, and maintenance work on structures and for workers who erect, maintain, and disassemble scaffolds. The course covers practices and control measures to protect workers from scaffold-related injuries caused by falls; falling objects; unstable or overloaded scaffolds; electrocution; and slips, trips, and falls on the same level. Note that this session does NOT cover permanent work platforms, aerial lifts, scissor lifts, or lifts suspended from cranes or derricks.
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.
A construction site is an inherently dangerous workplace. You must pay attention not only to what you are doing but also to what other workers around you are doing. The main goal of this session is to help you understand how important it is to work safely near heavy equipment. At the end of the session, you will be able to understand the leading causes of heavy equipment-related accidents, identify dangers associated with heavy equipment, discuss what OSHA regulations say about working safely on or near heavy equipment, and learn basic precautions to stay safe on the worksite.
