Iowa Construction Safety 10 PDH Discount Package 3

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the various explosive blast mitigation measures as well as chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) protective measures. It discusses explosion effects, building damage, inju­ries, levels of protection, stand-off distance, and predicting blast loads and effects. It also presents protective measures and actions to safeguard the occupants of a building from CBR threats based on guidance from the CDC/NIOSH and the DOD. These measures include evacuation, sheltering in place, personal protective equipment, air filtration and pressurization, and exhausting and purging, as well as CBR detection.

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 to gain a better understanding in identifying and implementing explosive blast and CBR protective measures against potential terrorist attacks.

This online engineering PDH course presents the OSHA guidelines for worker safety in construction for protecting workers against potential accident exposure.

Nearly 6.5 million people work at approximately 252,000 construction sites across the nation on any given day. The fatal injury rate for the construction industry is higher than the national average in this category for all industries. Potential hazards for workers in construction include:

• Falls (from heights)
• Trench collapse
• Scaffold collapse
• Electric shock and arc flash/arc blast
• Failure to use proper personal protective equipment
• Repetitive motion injuries

OSHA recognizes that construction work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore OSHA developed the OSHA Worker Safety Series in Construction to protect workers against potential accident exposure.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to employers/business owners, engineers, managers, construction workers and all other personnel working in the construction industry.

This online engineering PDH course presents OSHA guidance on the control of hazardous energy for protecting workers from the release of hazardous energy.

Employees can be seriously or fatally injured if machinery they service or maintain unexpectedly energizes, starts up, or releases stored energy. If the potential exists for the release of hazardous stored energy or for the re-accumulation of stored energy to a hazardous level, the employer must ensure that the employees take steps to prevent injury that may result from such release.

OSHA recognizes the risk of employees being exposed to the release of hazardous stored energy. Therefore, OSHA developed the Control of Hazardous Energy Standard to protect employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery or equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities.

This 2 PDH  online  course is applicable to employers, building owners, engineers, managers, electricians, construction workers and any other personnel who are involved in servicing and maintaining electrical machinery or equipment.

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.
