COURSE TITLE: Protecting Building Environments from Airborne CBR Attacks
COURSE NO: F03-003
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Protecting Building Environments from Airborne CBR Attacks
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on such protective measures that a building owner, manager or engineer can implement without undue delay to enhance occupant protection from an airborne chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) attack.

 

The likelihood of a specific building being targeted for terrorist activity is generally difficult to predict. As such, there is no specific formula that will determine a certain building's level of risk. Building owners, managers or engineers must make their own decisions about how to reduce their building's risk to airborne chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) attack.

 

These decisions may be aided by a comprehensive building security assessment to identify the appropriate protective measures which will help transform buildings into less attractive targets. These protective measures include, but are not limited to, increasing the difficulty of introducing a CBR agent, increasing the ability to detect terrorists before they carry out an intended release, and incorporating plans and procedures to mitigate the effects of a CBR release.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to building owners, facility engineers and managers, and maintenance personnel of public, private, and governmental buildings, including offices, laboratories, hospitals, retail facilities, schools, transportation terminals, and public venues (for example, sports arenas, malls, coliseums), who are interested in gaining a better understanding of enhancing the resilience of a building.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Understanding buildings and their systems
  • Identifying physical security requirements
  • Evaluating HVAC systems and their vulnerability to CBR agents
  • Implementing maintenance, administration and training measures

COURSE TITLE: Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction
COURSE NO: C09-005
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction.

 

Crystalline silica is a common mineral found in many naturally occurring and man-made materials used at construction sites. Materials like sand, concrete, brick, block, stone and mortar contain crystalline silica. Amorphous silica, such as silica gel, is not crystalline silica. Respirable crystalline silica – very small particles typically at least 100 times smaller than ordinary sand found on beaches or playgrounds – is generated by high-energy operations like cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling and crushing stone, rock, concrete, brick, block and mortar, or when abrasive blasting with sand.

 

Construction workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica are at increased risk of developing serious adverse health effects including silicosis, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and kidney disease. This course describes the steps that employers are required to take to protect employees in construction from the hazards associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica. This course provides guidance only, and does not alter or determine compliance responsibilities, which are laid out in OSHA standards and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
