Interactive & Video Discount Package - Alaska Construction Safety and Ethics 24 PDH

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation intends to help small businesses comply with the Confined Spaces standard. It addresses the most common compliance issues that employers will face and provides sufficient detail to serve as a useful compliance guide.

A confined space is a space whose configuration and/or contents may present special dangers not found in normal work areas. Confined spaces may be poorly ventilated and, as a result, contain insufficient oxygen or hazardous levels of toxic gases. Working in a tight space can prevent a worker from keeping a safe distance from mechanical and electrical hazards in the space.

This presentation begins by a defining confined and permit spaces. It helps employers learn about their responsibilities regarding the permit space program and its alternate procedures. It also defines the scope of worker training by defining the responsibilities of entrants, attendants and entry supervisors. The presentation culminates with an exploration of different rescue and emergency services.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, architects, managers and contractors whose duties involve work in confined spaces and are interested in learning about the proper approach to safety while working in compliance with the Confined Spaces standard.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of the basic OSHA guidelines for fall protection for protecting workers against potential fall hazards.

In the construction industry in the U.S., falls are the leading cause of worker fatalities. Each year, on average, between 150 and 200 workers are killed and more than 100,000 are injured as a result of falls at construction sites. OSHA recognizes that accidents involving falls are generally complex events frequently involving a variety of factors. Consequently, the standard for fall protection deals with both the human and equipment-related issues in protecting workers from fall hazards.

This 1 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.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief overview of the hazards of electrical work and the basic approaches to working safely.

Whenever you work 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.

This presentation helps prepare you for additional safety training such as hands-on exercises and more detailed reviews of regulations for electrical work. Practices that will help keep you safe and free of injury are emphasized. This presentation will also present to you important definitions and notes. To give you an idea of the hazards caused by electricity, case studies about real-life deaths will be described.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended for electrical and mechanical engineers, electricians, plant operators, construction personnel and others seeking an understanding of the basics of electrical system safety.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief overview on effective ergonomic interventions that lower the physical demands of manual material handling work tasks, thereby lowering the incidence and severity of the musculoskeletal injuries they can cause.

Manual material handling work contributes to a large percentage of the over half a million cases of musculoskeletal disorders reported annually in the United States. Musculoskeletal disorders often involve strains and sprains to the lower back, shoulders, and upper limbs. They can result in protracted pain, disability, medical treatment, and financial stress for those afflicted with them.

Scientific evidence shows that effective ergonomic interventions have a potential not only for reducing injury-related costs but also for improving a company’s productivity, product quality, and overall business competitiveness.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to engineers, managers and supervisors who are interested in learning more about ergonomic interventions that reduce the physical demands of manual material handling work.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides responsible employers, workers, and worker representatives with a sound, flexible framework for addressing safety and health issues on diverse construction job sites.

Establishing a safety and health program at your job site is one of the most effective ways of protecting your most valuable asset: your workers. Losing workers to injury or illness, even for a short time, can cause significant disruption and cost—to you as well as the workers and their families. Safety and health programs foster a proactive approach to “finding and fixing” job site hazards before they can cause injury or illness. Rather than reacting to an incident, management and workers collaborate to identify and solve issues before they occur. This collaboration builds trust, enhances communication, and often leads to other business improvements.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to health and safety engineers, construction and project managers, site engineers, and anyone who is interested in improving the standard and level of health and safety on construction sites.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation focuses on Safety Service Patrols (SSPs) which have been in use in one form or another since the early 1960s, and have emerged as a vital part of Traffic Incident Management (TIM) programs.

 

This course discusses Safety service patrols to improve safety on the roadway and to minimize the effect incidents have on the operation of the transportation network. Safety service patrols on freeway and arterial roadways provide a traffic management tool for transportation agencies across the country. A swift response to incidents provides effective temporary traffic control and quick clearance practices and reduces the chance of secondary accidents and bottlenecks. As more agencies assess their needs for traffic management and the benefits of service patrols, there are many best practices they can use in their decision-making processes for new or existing program enhancements. This report identifies existing service patrol programs for lessons learned, best practices employed, and those priorities that agencies should consider.

 

This 4 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for safety engineers, urban planners, transportation engineers, civil engineers, and professional engineers responsible for safety service patrol and freeway service patrol priorities.

This online engineering PDH video presentation presents important concepts in the realm of engineering project implementation, construction and workplace safety.

 

This course begins with importance of safety, supported by safety statistics and clarification of “myths” about need for safe practices at work and at home. Most of the mainstream, PPE, Personal Protective Equipment and their proper use, is introduced through illustrations and in-class discussion. The importance of Workplace Environmental Safety and Health – namely, indoor air quality - is covered with emphasis on HVAC Systems and Mold Issues, as pertinent to residential, commercial, and industrial operations. This course covers proven safety best practices that engineers and technical managers find useful in successful implementation of projects and in safe operations of workplace. This course covers the safety risk analysis process in the engineering design phase, on projects and in operations. The latter part of this course deals with the one of the most significant hazards, in almost any environment, “fire.”
