Interactive & Video Discount Package - Texas Construction Safety and Ethics 15 PDH

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 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 an overview of common sources of electrical hazards in the workplace and the different measures to control it.

Electricity is essential to modern life, both at home and on the job. Some employees — engineers, electricians, electronic technicians, and power line workers, among them — work with electricity directly.

However, electricity has long been recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing employees to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires, and explosions. In 1999, for example, 278 workers died from electrocutions at work, accounting for almost 5 percent of all on-the-job fatalities that year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What makes these statistics more tragic is that most of these fatalities could have been easily avoided.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for electrical and mechanical engineers, technicians and professionals who are interested in learning more about safe work practices for protection against electrical hazards.

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 a brief outline on the types of radiation produced by natural and man-made sources, the typical radiation doses and dose limits, along with the health effects associated with radiation exposure.

Radiation is energy in the form of waves or streams of particles. There are many kinds and forms of radiation all around us, and their sources can be both natural and man-made. Sound and visible light are familiar forms of radiation; other types include ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, and radio and television signals. However, uncontrolled use of man-made radiation carries a potential risk to the health and safety of workers and the public.

This presentation provides clear and simple information about radiation: what it is, where it comes from and how it is used. It also presents information on radiation health effects, radiation doses and how the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ensures the safety of the Canadian nuclear sector through its comprehensive regulatory framework and vigilant oversight.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to safety engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about nuclear safety.

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.”

This 8 PDH video presentation is designed for design engineers, safety engineers, project engineers, construction personnel, construction supervision, principals/owners of construction firms and construction administrative staff.

This online engineering PDH video presentation introduces the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Texas. It also emphasizes on behavior as a professional member of the workforce.

This webinar presents the provisions of professional conduct from two viewpoints. First, your conduct as a professional engineer with behavior that is unique to engineers such as stamping drawings, signing official or technical documents, preparing estimates for clients or employers, and submitting engineering reports to official agencies. Second, your behavior as a member of the larger workforce where you communicate with team members, follow company policies and procedures, and your overall behavior as part of a workplace community.

Furthermore, this presentation discusses the disciplinary cases and its outcomes in situations where professional engineers have violated the requirements of professional responsibility and ethical conduct – the decisions we make when no one is watching.

This 1 PDH online video presentation is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Texas and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete fifteen (15) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the law and rules professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
