Grounding Fundamentals

This 2-part course is designed to supplement the training requirements found in the ANSI Z390.1-1995.1 (R2000) Accepted Practices for Hydrogen Sulfide (known as H2S) Safety Training Programs and is intended for use with the initial H2S safety training program. Any worker who has the potential to be exposed to H2S at or above the Threshold Limit Value (of 10 parts per million) in an 8 hour workday must receive this training prior to working in that toxic environment, and refresher courses on an annual basis thereafter. You are required to complete all courses and pass all assessments within this suite in order to receive the stated CEU Credits.

Incidents requiring first aid can happen anywhere and at any time. The first response to such an incident is the most important. First aid given at the scene can improve the chances of survival and recovery of a victim. This course presents ways to respond to basic first aid situations until the emergency medical services (EMS) personnel arrive. Ideal learners include all employees.

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.

Breathing is an act we often take for granted. Sometimes, what we breathe in can harm our bodies and cause lasting damage. That is definitely true of crystalline silica. In this course, you will learn what it is, where it is, how to avoid exposure and what to do if you are exposed. This course is intended for anyone who may be exposed to crystalline silica in their work.
