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.
Today, we’re going to talk about the health effects of hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes are composed of substances that can be harmful to your health. Exposure to some hazardous wastes can cause serious illness, injury, or even death. However, these materials can be handled and disposed of safely if proper procedures are carefully followed. This training session will introduce you to the hazards of hazardous wastes and the steps to take to prevent harmful exposures. With adequate information about hazardous waste, you can minimize risks and protect your health on the job.
Today, we’re going to talk about the safe operation of processes that use highly hazardous chemicals. This training session is for employees and employees of contractors who work with processes utilizing highly hazardous chemicals that are covered under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Process Safety Management, or PSM, Standard, located at 29 Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR, 1910.119. We will discuss the elements of a PSM program, as well as procedures for safely handling highly hazardous chemicals and operating chemical processes that involve such chemicals.
Even facilities with good relationships with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and good compliance histories may get inspected. Although you may not be able to avoid the “knock on the door,” you can avoid being caught in an enforcement trap if you know what to expect and make sure you’re prepared to deal effectively with an EPA inspection. It’s critical for you to do everything possible to prepare for and be responsive during all the stages of the inspection process. Your actions may largely determine the impact of the inspection on your business and whether the EPA will pursue an enforcement action. The main objective of this session is to prepare you for EPA inspections at your facility.
Oil spills can have a catastrophic effect on the environment, endanger public health and safety, and have significant adverse economic impacts. Therefore, it is important to take precautions to prevent such spills from happening. Regularly scheduled inspections, evaluations, and testing of bulk oil storage containers by qualified personnel are critical parts of discharge prevention. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s, or EPA’s, Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure, or SPCC, regulations establish such precautions. This session will cover what is required and how to properly inspect bulk oil storage containers according to the requirements of the SPCC Program

Hoy vamos a hablar sobre el funcionamiento seguro de los procesos que utilizan productos químicos altamente peligrosos. Esta sesión de capacitación es para empleados y empleados de contratistas que trabajan con procesos que utilizan productos químicos altamente peligrosos que están cubiertos por la Norma de Gestión de Seguridad de Procesos (PSM, por sus siglas en inglés) de la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA, por sus siglas en inglés), ubicada en el Código 29 de Regulaciones Federales (CFR, por sus siglas en inglés) 1910.119.Discutiremos los elementos de un programa PSM, así como los procedimientos para manejar de manera segura los productos químicos altamente peligrosos y los procesos químicos operativos que involucran tales productos químicos.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, work-related musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs, are among the most frequently reported causes of lost or restricted work time. Workers in many different industries and occupations can be exposed to MSD risk factors at work. Fortunately, work-related MSDs can be prevented. By understanding basic ergonomic principles and applying them to your job, you can minimize MSD risk factors, avoid strains on your body, and reduce your risk of injury.
There are, on average, 150 deaths nationally in permit-required confined spaces every year, and in many of those cases, a would-be rescuer was a casualty.
This module provides supervisors of permit-required confined spaces with information to help them ensure that rescue services are available and that the means to summon them are operable while entrants are in such a space.
The module covers confined space operations in general industry workplaces.
Today, we’re going to talk about the safe operation of processes in California that use toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals, which we will collectively refer to as highly hazardous chemicals. This training session is for employees and employees of contractors who work with processes utilizing highly hazardous chemicals that are covered under the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s, or Cal/OSHA’s, Process Safety Management, or PSM, Standard, located at 8 California Code of Regulations, or CCR, 5189. We will discuss the elements of a PSM program, as well as procedures for safely handling highly hazardous chemicals and operating chemical processes that involve such chemicals.
