Thousands of workers use scissor lifts to perform work at heights across a wide variety of industries. But because of this high rate of usage, there is a similarly high rate of scissor lift-related accidents. Fortunately, the majority of these incidents can be prevented through proper training. This presentation will train scissor lift operators to appreciate the hazards associated with scissor lifts; minimize those hazards; and safely operate, handle materials on, and inspect and maintain scissor lifts.
By the end of the course, workers will be able to recognize the hazards of operating scissor lifts; identify common features of scissor lift equipment; inspect scissor lifts and maintain them in a safe working condition; demonstrate safe stabilization, positioning, and operation of scissor lifts; lift loads, tools, and other work materials properly; and prevent falls through safe work practices and by wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Miles de trabajadores utilizan elevadores de tijera para realizar trabajos en altura en una amplia variedad de industrias. Sin embargo, debido a este alto índice de uso, existe una tasa igualmente alta de accidentes relacionados con ellos. Afortunadamente, la mayoría de estos incidentes se pueden prevenir mediante una capacitación adecuada. Esta presentación capacitará a los operadores de elevadores de tijera para que comprendan los riesgos asociados, minimicen dichos riesgos y operen, manipulen materiales, inspeccionen y mantengan los elevadores de tijera de forma segura.
Al finalizar el curso, los trabajadores podrán reconocer los riesgos de operar elevadores de tijera; identificar las características comunes de los equipos; inspeccionarlos y mantenerlos en condiciones de trabajo seguras; demostrar la estabilización, el posicionamiento y el funcionamiento seguros de los elevadores de tijera; levantar cargas, herramientas y otros materiales de trabajo correctamente; y prevenir caídas mediante prácticas de trabajo seguras y el uso del equipo de protección personal (EPP) adecuado.
Aerial lifts are a common sight on construction projects, at oil and gas wells, or around industrial facilities. These machines usually have a wheeled drive section used to move the lift around, an extendable arm, and a basket for personnel to stand in. Aerial lifts are useful when a ladder or scaffold is unsafe to use or not feasible. In this module, we’ll discuss the limitations, features, hazards, and safe operating procedures of aerial lifts.
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.

Los elevadores aéreos son comunes en proyectos de construcción, pozos de petróleo y gas, o alrededor de instalaciones industriales. Estas máquinas usualmente tienen una sección de tracción con ruedas usada para mover el elevador, un brazo extensible y una canasta para que el personal se pare. Los elevadores aéreos son útiles cuando una escalera o andamio es inseguro de usar o no factible. En este módulo, discutiremos las limitaciones, características, peligros y procedimientos de operación seguros de los elevadores aéreos.continua se ofrecen para este curso.
Overhead and buried power lines are especially hazardous for general construction workers. You are using equipment in close proximity to sources of electricity, and this is a serious workplace hazard. Accidental contact-direct or indirect-could be deadly. For this reason, working around power lines requires extra diligence—as well as good judgment and common sense—from you and from your employer. This training session covers the hazards of energized power lines and the ways you can protect yourself when working near them.
This course is for employees in general industry covered under 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910 Subpart S. This course does not cover electrical safety for construction and other industries.
This course also provides safe work practices from the consensus standard, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, that can help prevent arc flash incidents.
Compliance:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that all affected persons who work near electrical equipment and are potentially exposed to arc flash, shock, and electrical hazards receive additional training on:
• Machine safety and machine guarding (29 CFR 1910 Subpart O);
• Basic electrical safety work practices (29 CFR 1910 Subpart S);
• Control of hazardous energy, also known as lockout/tagout (29 CFR 191.147);
• PPE (29 CFR 191.137); and
• Warning signs and labels (29 CFR 1910.145).

Las líneas eléctricas aéreas y subterráneas son especialmente peligrosas para los trabajadores de la construcción en general. Está usando equipos muy cerca de fuentes de electricidad, y esto es un riesgo grave en el lugar de trabajo. El contacto accidental-directo o indirecto-podría ser mortal. Por esta razón, trabajar cerca de líneas eléctricas requiere diligencia adicional—así como buen criterio y sentido común—de su parte y de su empleador. Esta sesión de capacitación cubre los peligros de las líneas eléctricas energizadas y las formas en que puede protegerse cuando trabaja cerca de ellas.
More than 2,000 people annually are treated in burn centers with severe arc flash injuries, and many of the victims report that failure to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), inappropriate use of tools, and working on live circuits contributed to their injuries.
This course provides information about arc flash and shock hazards and safe work practices for “unqualified” persons who work around but not directly on or near exposed, energized electrical equipment or parts.
By the end of the course, unqualified persons will be able to identify the hazards and risks of arc flash, implement safe work practices, recognize appropriate PPE, and respond to an arc flash incident.
Más de 2000 personas son atendidas anualmente en centros de quemados con lesiones graves por arco eléctrico, y muchas de las víctimas informan que la falta de uso del equipo de protección personal (EPP) adecuado, el uso inadecuado de herramientas y el trabajo en circuitos con corriente contribuyeron a sus lesiones.
Este curso proporciona información sobre los peligros del arco eléctrico y las descargas eléctricas, así como prácticas de trabajo seguras para personas no cualificadas que trabajan cerca de equipos o piezas eléctricas expuestas y energizadas, pero no directamente sobre ellos o cerca de ellos.
Al finalizar el curso, las personas no cualificadas podrán identificar los peligros y riesgos del arco eléctrico, implementar prácticas de trabajo seguras, reconocer el EPP adecuado y responder ante un incidente de arco eléctrico.
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.
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.
