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.
In this training session on tracking credentialing and training of healthcare employees, we’ll discuss your staff’s training and continuing education responsibilities as they relate to keeping their certifications and licenses current. Then you’ll learn how to keep track of your staff’s credentials by properly collecting, organizing, and verifying them.
Containers are the most common unit used to store and transport hazardous waste. They are often preferred over tanks and surface impoundments largely due to the ease with which they can be handled and their relative inexpensiveness. Containers are a good option for hazardous waste handlers who want to store, transport, and dispose of hazardous waste without changing the unit.
Before regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, containers were frequently mismanaged or abandoned. Some of the worst environmental disasters associated with hazardous wastes were caused by the failure of containers. When the abandoned containers became weathered or corroded, the hazardous contents were released, posing a far-reaching danger to human health and the environment. Additionally, many containers were not properly labeled or not labeled at all. As such, they posed hazards due to their “unknown” contents.
Consequently, properly managing containers of hazardous waste is a critical part of the RCRA regulatory system for handling hazardous wastes safely, while protecting the environment and the health and well-being of workers and of the public. Each handler of containers of hazardous waste plays an important role in this process.
For most healthy adults, seasonal viruses are not generally life-threatening. But respiratory disease pandemics, such as those caused by coronaviruses or influenza, are very serious. They often involve new strains of viruses to which people have developed no immunity. These kinds of viruses can spread quickly and widely, and they can pose a major global health threat. This training course is for all non-healthcare employees and provides information about how to prepare for and stay safe during an acute respiratory illness pandemic.
Workplace violence is among the leading causes of workplace fatalities, and there are thousands of nonfatal violent on-the-job incidents each year. Workplace violence can occur at any business or workplace, but there are some environments and occupations that are at higher risk. One of the occupations at a higher risk is healthcare workers.
This session discusses your role in preventing violence by recognizing the warning signs of workplace violence and defusing potentially violent situations. This session also discusses the appropriate way to respond to violent incidents.

Este curso proporciona información para empleados que realizan tareas que pueden exponerlos a peligros como operaciones de inmersión, revestimiento y limpieza. El término general “inmersión y revestimiento” abarca una amplia variedad de operaciones, incluidas la inmersión en pintura, el desengrase y la galvanoplastia. Cuando usted trabaja en operaciones de inmersión o revestimiento, necesita comprender los peligros y las precauciones correspondientes para minimizar los factores de riesgo y reducir accidentes, lesiones o enfermedades en el trabajo.
Although workplace violence is often unpredictable and can happen in any business, there are some environments and occupations that are at higher risk. One of the occupations at a higher risk is healthcare workers. This session discusses your role in preventing violence by recognizing potential threats, defusing violent situations, and reporting any violent incidents. This course is designed to meet the requirements of California’s Workplace Violence Prevention in Health Care, but it outlines preventive and safe work practices that can apply to health care facilities around the country.
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.
Today, we’re going to talk about how to prepare for acute respiratory illness pandemics. For most healthy adults, seasonal viruses are not generally life-threatening. But as you’ve seen in the news, respiratory disease pandemics, such as those caused by coronaviruses or influenza, are something else. They often involve new strains of viruses to which people have developed no immunity. These kinds of viruses can spread quickly and widely, and they can pose a major global health threat. That’s why you need to know about acute respiratory illness pandemics and how to prepare for them.
Hoy, vamos a hablar sobre cómo prepararse para las pandemias de enfermedades respiratorias agudas. Para la mayoría de los adultos sanos, los virus estacionales generalmente no amenazan la vida. Pero como ha visto en las noticias, las pandemias de enfermedades respiratorias, como las causadas por coronavirus o influenza, son otra cosa. A menudo implican nuevas cepas de virus a los que las personas no han desarrollado inmunidad. Estos tipos de virus pueden propagarse rápida y ampliamente, y pueden representar una gran amenaza para la salud mundial. Es por eso que necesita saber sobre las pandemias de enfermedades respiratorias agudas y cómo prepararse para ellas.
This training session is an overview of HR Laws in Health Care. During this session, we’ll discuss the human resources, or HR, laws and regulations that you must be familiar with in order to effectively do you job as a healthcare facility administrator. The HR laws we are going to discuss in this training session fall under nine basic categories. Not complying with these laws can lead to costly lawsuits and noncompliance fines, so it’s important that you know and understand them.
