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, most of these incidents can be prevented through proper training. This course will provide scissor lift operators with information on the hazards associated with scissor lifts and the safe practices to minimize those hazards, including safe operation, inspection, and maintenance of scissor lifts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This training course covers the principal elements of the regulatory requirements for how generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, must manage hazardous waste in the workplace. The course describes the different types of hazardous waste and how they must be identified, stored, inspected, and documented, as well as the actions workers should take to protect themselves and the workplace from the dangers of hazardous waste.
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.

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.
Any generator that offers hazardous wastes for transportation for off-site treatment, storage, or disposal must prepare a manifest using a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22). Although the hazardous waste generator bears the responsibility for creating the manifest, transporters and receiving facilities also play a key role. Training is necessary to ensure compliance with this shipping paper that is the key to documenting the safe and compliant transport of hazardous waste. Those responsible for signing a manifest or for completing any part of this specialized shipping paper should receive training so that they understand and can competently perform their role.
Regulations regarding hazardous waste manifests are found for hazardous waste generators at 40 CFR 262 Subpart B; for transporters at 40 CFR 263 Subpart B; and for receiving facilities, including treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, at 40 CFR 264/265 Subpart E.
This course will describe how to properly complete a manifest, help you know what additional documents may need to be attached to the manifest, and explain how parts of the manifest are distributed.
