Indiana Construction Safety & Laws/Rules/Ethics 30 PDH Discount Package 2

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.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the requirements for excavation and trenching operations. This course describes safe work practices that can protect workers from cave-ins and other hazards.

 

Trenching and excavation work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than some other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car. An unprotected trench can be an early grave. Employers must ensure that workers enter trenches only after adequate protections are in place to address cave-in hazards.  Other potential hazards associated with trenching work include falling loads, hazardous atmospheres and hazards from mobile equipment. Following the requirements of OSHA Excavation standards will prevent or greatly reduce the risk of cave-ins and other excavation-related incidents.

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for employers/business owners, engineers, managers, construction workers and any other personnel working on construction projects involving trenching and excavation safety.

This online engineering PDH course provides OSHA guidance on scaffolds for protecting workers using scaffolding systems on construction sites.

 

Scaffolding hazards continue to rank high on the list of most frequently cited standards in the construction industry.  Workers involved in working on scaffolding systems are exposed to potential fall hazards. Scaffold-related accidents account for a significant number of fatalities in the construction workplace.

 

OSHA recognizes that working on scaffolding systems present serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed the Scaffold Standard to protect workers using scaffolding systems on construction sites.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to employers/business owners, engineers, managers, construction contractors/workers and any other personnel working on construction projects that require scaffolding.

This online engineering PDH course presents guidance on the design and construction of shelters in the work place, home, or community building to provide the required level of protection that may be assumed by building owners when deciding to build a shelter in response to the manmade CBRE threats as defined in the National Response Plan (NRP).

 

This course considers shelter design concepts that relate to the type of shelter being designed and where it may be located. It discusses how shelter use (either single or multiple) may affect the type of shelter selected and the location of that shelter on a particular site. It also describes key operations zones in and around a shelter that need to be taken into consideration as a means to provide safe ingress and egress and medical assistance to victims of a manmade event (terrorist attack or technological accident). The objective of this chapter is to provide a broad vision on how a shelter should be designed to protect against catastrophic events.

 

This 4 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 interested in gaining a better understanding in the design and construction of safe rooms and shelters.

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.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the key areas for maintaining safety during construction at an airport. It presents details on how to maintain a functioning airport during construction, how to keep construction zones safe, and when to have specific zones open or close during construction.

 

Safety at construction zones is paramount, and this is even more so at airports where multiple stakeholders are involved in the construction process, including but not limited to the FAA, airport operators, contractors, airport users, and military personnel (at military airports).

 

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to architects, construction managers, safety, civil, electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineers as well as others interested in learning more about how construction at an airport can be performed safely.

This online engineering PDH course presents the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Indiana. Excerpts from the Indiana Code (Title 25, Article 31) and the Indiana Administrative Code (Title 864) including licensing renewal, proper use of the engineer’s seal, continuing education requirements and other pertinent regulatory provisions are presented in this course.

 

Since engineers are faced with frequent moral and ethical dilemmas while practicing their engineering profession, this course will provide you with moral and ethical guidance in your decision making process. Most importantly, it will provide you with insight on how to conduct, respect and protect your engineering practice with the utmost professionalism.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Indiana and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering laws, rules and ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete thirty (30) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the Indiana Laws and Rules, and at least one (1) of which must be relative to the rules of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
