A split-second decision can change your life, especially when you are behind the wheel of a fast-moving, heavy vehicle.

Ideal learners include anyone who drives cars or other small vehicles such as small service trucks and vans.

Radiofrequency (RF) is an invisible energy that we use in most wireless equipment and devices, such as those for communication and heating. Although it has many important uses, RF energy also has risks that you need to understand and avoid. Take this course to learn what RF energy is, where you may find it, its hazards, how to avoid them and what to do if you've been overexposed. This course is ideal for anyone who may be exposed to RF energy.

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.

It is easy to forget the danger that heat poses to the body, from sunburn and heat rash to heat stroke and death. Whether you work outside on hot days or in a foundry, mine, bakery or any other hot or humid environment, the key to preventing excessive heat stress is knowing the hazards of working in heat and the benefits of implementing proper controls and work practices. You will learn about all of these in this training. Ideal learners include all employees, managers and supervisors.
