Texas Construction Safety and Ethics 15 PDH Discount Package 4

This online engineering PDH course provides information on effective ergonomic interventions that help lower the physical demands of manual material handling (MMH) work.

 

Manual material handling work contributes to a large percentage of 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.

 

Effective ergonomic interventions can lower the physical demands of MMH work tasks, thereby lowering the incidence and severity of the musculoskeletal injuries they can cause. Their potential for reducing injury-related costs alone make ergonomic interventions a useful tool for improving a company’s productivity, product quality, and overall business competitiveness.

 

This 3 PDH online course 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 course discusses explosive threat parameters and measures needed to protect shelters from blast effects. Structural systems and building envelope elements for new and existing shelters are analyzed; shelters and FEMA model building types are discussed; protective design measures for the defined building types are provided, and design guidance and retrofit issues are presented. The purpose of this course is to offer comprehensive information on how to improve the resistance of shelters when exposed to blast events.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, planners, architects, landscape designers, construction and operations personnel, security and law enforcement agents, as well as consultants and contractors who are in gaining a better understanding of the structural design criteria of safe rooms and shelters.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the types of radiation, the health effects due to exposure and the way it is regulated.

 

Radiation has always been present and is all around us. Life has evolved in a world containing significant levels of ionizing radiation. We are also exposed to man-made radiation from sources such as medical treatments and activities involving radioactive material.

 

The health effects of radiation are well understood. Since the early 20th century, radiation’s effects have been studied in depth, in both the laboratory and among human populations. Because of the known health risks of radiation, it must be carefully used and strictly controlled. A balance must be struck between radiation’s societal benefits and the risks that radiation poses to people, health and the environment.

 

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security of Canadians and the environment; and to implement Canada's international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It also sets dose limits to prevent workers and the public from excessive radiation exposure.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to safety engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about nuclear safety.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of how chemicals are traditionally regulated in the U.S. as well as the methods used through NAMs to identify chemical risks. 

 

A tapestry of laws covers the chemicals people are exposed to in the United States, at least 3221 chemical signatures in pooled human blood samples, many appear to be exogenous. Different testing requirements exist for food additives, pharmaceuticals, and pesticide active ingredients. Most other chemicals, ranging from industrial waste to dyes to packing materials, are covered by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). New approach methodologies (NAMs) are being considered to inform prioritization of chemicals for testing and evaluation.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to chemical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the new approaches to chemical risk management.

This online engineering PDH course presents the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession.

 

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

 

This course describes the fundamental legal concepts with which very engineer should be familiar. It also presents unique disciplinary case studies selected from across the nation, as well as hypothetical ethical challenges that demonstrate how difficult it can be to apply the code of ethics for engineers.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to all professional engineers who are either required to fulfill 2 PDH in engineering ethics or are interested in broadening their understanding of what it means to practice and uphold the honor and integrity of their engineering profession while holding the utmost safety, health, and welfare of the public.
