This course provides instruction on a variety of general industry safety and health standards. It is particularly useful for those who are just entering the safety field and want a better understanding of what is required and where to start. Course subjects include an introduction to OSHA; OSHAct/General Duty Clause; inspections, citations, and penalties; walking and working surfaces; means of egress and fire protection; and electrical safety. Students will receive course completion cards from the OSHA Training Institute.

8-Hour Confined Space Entry

OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.146(g) requires an employer to train employees who enter, attend to, or supervise confined spaces. In this introductory course, you will learn to identify confined spaces, the major confined space hazards, principals of ventilation, entry permitting, and the requirements of a permit-required confined space program.

Recordkeeping - 300 Log (4 hours)

The OSHA 300 annual summary log must be posted on February 1 in the workplace. Come and learn how to complete this form and use it to target injury and illnesses.

This interactive workshop includes the following topics:
  • Identifying risk factors for backs
  • Linking ergonomic costs to improvement strategies
  • Integrating ergonomics into process improvements
  • Overview of assessment tools
  • Case study exercises
We also provide in-plant assessments and training on ergonomics.

Hospital Decontamination

This class may be formatted into an 8-, 10-, or 12-hour format, depending on the needs of the customer. This class fulfills the OSHA recommendations for training of so-called “First Receivers,” as defined in the recently released OSHA Best Practices for Hospital Based First Receivers of Victims from Mass Casualty Incidents Involving Release of Hazardous Substances, published in January 2005. The class is divided into 4 modules. Module topics include: HAZCOM awareness, PPE, decontamination practices, and practical exercises in decontamination procedures and use of PPE. The difference in course length is to accommodate the training needs of different facilities. The equipment capabilities of hospitals varies greatly, even within urban areas, so it is necessary to have a consultant visit the facility prior to presenting the class. In many cases, federal funding is available from MMRS (Metropolitan Medical Response System) or HRSA regional “stewardship” sources.

4-Hour PPE and Workplace Hazard Assessment

This workshop will identify when and where personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used to ensure the safety and health of employees and will cover the responsibilities of management and workers in maintenance and use of proper PPE.
