Confined Spaces for Construction (IACET CEU=0.1)

Workers are exposed to hazardous chemical products every day. This poses serious problems for exposed workers and their employers. Hazard Communication (HazCom) training is designed to provide workers with the information that they need to recognize and avoid hazardous chemicals. Take this course to learn about the HazCom Standard and how Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and chemical labels are used to prepare for hazards or react to exposures. Ideal learners are employees who work with or around hazardous chemicals and their supervisors.

Recognizing electrical hazards in the workplace is critical to ensuring worker safety. You need to know how and why electricity is dangerous so you can recognize when hazards are present. When electricity and other energy is uncontrolled, it can harm or even kill people. That is why we have lockout/tagout/tryout procedures to control hazardous energy. Take this course to learn about electrical hazards, what energy control procedures are and how they can be used to stay safe. Your employer may ask you to complete this training because you work where electrical hazards are present or where lockout/tagout/tryout is being used, or as part of their process for obtaining lockout/tagout authorization. This course is ideal for workers in general industry and construction work settings.

If your job duties include even occasional contact with blood or other infectious materials, you are at risk for contracting potentially deadly, incurable diseases. Take this course to learn what bloodborne pathogens are and how you can protect yourself from them. Ideal learners include anyone who may be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials, including healthcare workers, custodians, maintenance staff, research personnel and construction workers.

This program provides information about worker rights, employer responsibilities and how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job-related hazards. Although many essential safety topics are covered, additional site-specific information and hands-on demonstrations of skills are ultimately needed for your safety and to fulfill training requirements found in OSHA standards. Many jurisdictions, employers and unions require this course, which is voluntary at the U.S. federal level. Each student who completes the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA Outreach Training is only available to trainees within the geographic jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act. Trainees outside this jurisdiction will not receive cards for course completion. This 10-Hour program is primarily intended for entry-level workers, and the 30-Hour program is for workers with some safety responsibility. The program will take longer than 10 hours.
