COURSE TITLE: Electrical Safety
COURSE NO: E06-005
COURSE PROVIDER: Elie Tawil, P.E., LEED AP
Electrical Safety
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes the hazards of electrical work and basic approaches to working safely.

 

Whenever working with power tools or on electrical circuits, there is a risk of electrical hazards, especially electrical shock. Anyone can be exposed to these hazards at home or at work. Workers are exposed to more hazards because job sites can be cluttered with tools and materials, fast-paced, and open to the weather. Risk is also higher at work because many jobs involve electric power tools.

 

Electrical trades workers must pay special attention to electrical hazards because they work on electrical circuits. Coming in contact with an electrical voltage can cause current to flow through the body, resulting in electrical shock and burns. Serious injury or even death may occur. As a source of energy, electricity is used without much thought about the hazards it can cause. Because electricity is a familiar part of our lives, it often is not treated with enough caution. As a result, an average of one worker is electrocuted on the job every day of every year! 

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers, electricians, plant operators, construction personnel and others seeking an understanding of the basics of electrical system safety.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding the dangers of electricity
  • Understanding the dangers of electric shocks
  • Familiarizing with the burns caused by electricity

COURSE TITLE: Fall Protection in Construction
COURSE NO: C03-057
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Fall Protection in Construction
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents the OSHA guidelines for fall protection for protecting workers against potential fall hazards.

 

Historically, falls are the leading cause of fatalities in construction, accounting for about one-third of all fatalities in the industry. Workers involved in working at heights are exposed to potential fall hazards.  Accidents involving falls are generally complex events frequently involving a variety of factors

 

OSHA recognizes that working at heights presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Consequently, the standard for fall protection deals with both the human and equipment-related issues in protecting workers from fall hazards.

 

This 3 PDH online course is intended for employers/business owners, engineers, managers and construction workers interested in better understanding the Fall Protection in Construction requirements and the reasons behind them.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Identifying potential fall hazards
  • Selecting fall protection systems appropriate for existing conditions
  • Implementing proper construction and installation of safety systems
  • Training and supervising employees in the proper selection, use and maintenance of fall protection systems
Course Document

COURSE TITLE: Ground-Fault Protection on Construction Sites
COURSE NO: E01-001
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Ground-Fault Protection on Construction Sites
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides OSHA's electrical requirements for ground fault circuit interrupters to protect workers against electrical hazards.

 

With the wide use of portable tools on construction sites, the use of flexible cords often becomes necessary. Hazards are created when cords, cord connectors, receptacles, and cord- and plug-connected equipment are improperly used and maintained.  Shocks, burns or fire-related fatalities resulting from humans exposed to non-grounded equipment significantly contribute to the overall number of fatalities in the construction workplace.

 

OSHA recognizes that non-grounded equipment present serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed the Electrical Standard that contains the requirements for ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) to protect workers against 120-volt electrical hazards on the construction site.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to employers/business owners, engineers, managers, electricians, construction workers and any other personnel working with or around energized equipment that require grounding.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • What is a GFCI
  • What are some other ways to prevent electrical injury
  • How can employers protect their workers
  • What is the assured equipment grounding conductor program
Course Document

COURSE TITLE: Safety Evaluation of Centerline and Shoulder Rumble Strips
COURSE NO: C04-048
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Safety Evaluation of Centerline and Shoulder Rumble Strips
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes the strategy involving the application of shoulder rumble strips (SRS) and centerline rumble strips (CLRS) in combination. This strategy is intended to reduce the frequency of crashes by alerting drivers that they are about to leave the travelled lane. While research has been published on the safety effectiveness of SRS or CLRS used in isolation, the effectiveness of the combined treatment has not been shown.

 

Geometric, traffic, and crash data were obtained at treated two-lane rural road locations in Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania. To account for potential selection bias and regression-to-the-mean, an Empirical Bayes (EB) before-after analysis was conducted using reference groups of untreated two-lane rural roads with similar characteristics to the treated sites. A slightly different approach was required for the analysis of the treatment sites in Missouri, which is installing rumble strips on two-lane rural roads whenever a resurfacing project is undertaken. As a result, a suitable reference group with no rumble strips for this road type presently or in the near future did not exist. The analysis also controls for changes in traffic volumes over time and time trends in crash counts unrelated to the treatment.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for traffic engineers, design professionals and construction personnel who are involved in the design and application of centerline and shoulder rumble strips.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding the background information about the strategy and the study
  • Familiarizing with previous research of SRS and CLRS
  • Learning about the Empirical Bayes (EB) methodology used for the evaluation
  • Understanding the data collection of the three States in study
  • Familiarizing with the SPFs developed for each State
  • Familiarizing with the before-after evaluation results of crashes
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the document “Safety Evaluation of Centerline and Shoulder Rumble Strips” prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration FHWA-HRT-15-048, June 2015.
