Bloodborne Pathogens in Commercial and Industrial Facilities provides essential information while assisting commercial and industrial organizations in fulfilling the training requirements contained in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Bloodborne diseases continue to pose major health problems. Increasing infection rates for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are now making them as serious a concern as HIV, the virus which can often lead to AIDS. So it’s more important than ever for employees to understand the hazards of bloodborne pathogens, the policies and practices that can prevent their transmission, and the OSHA regulations that address them.

Topics covered in this program:
Include bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV and Hepatitis, infection and the Exposure Control Plan, methods of exposure control, personal protection and vaccination, housekeeping and Regulated Waste, accidental exposure procedures and more.

Asbestos Awareness provides employees with important information, and helps employers comply with the training requirements of the OSHA Asbestos Standard. Before the negative health effects of asbestos were fully understood, this hazardous substance was used in thousands of products and building materials. And asbestos-containing materials can be found in many buildings even today. Employees such as custodial, engineering and maintenance staff need to understand the health risks associated with asbestos, be able to recognize asbestos hazards in their workplace and know what to do to protect themselves and others from exposure to asbestos.

Topics covered in this program:
Include information on asbestos… miracle and menace, the health effects of asbestos, thermal system insulation, sprayed-on materials, floor and ceiling tiles, protective equipment and safe work practices, decontamination and medical surveillance, and more.

Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments reviews the various types of aerial lifts, make employees aware of the hazards that are associated with these lifts, and give them the information that they’ll need to work safely… whether they’re using a lift or working around one.

Topics covered in this program:
Include the types of aerial lifts and the training required to operate them, hazards associated with using aerial lifts, “pre-start” and “worksite” inspections, setting up, operating and moving an aerial lift, working on the ground near an aerial lift and more.

10,000 scaffold related injuries reported each year Supported Scaffolding Safety in Construction Environments helps facilities comply with OSHA’s Recordkeeping regulation (29 CFR Part 1904). Whenever a worker leaves the ground, the risk of an accident occurring increases dramatically. OSHA has mandated that workers be trained on how to safely erect and use these work platforms. The course helps employees understand the dangers of working with scaffolds, and how these risks can be minimized by knowing the correct ways to erect, maintain and use scaffolding equipment.

Topics covered in this program: Include responsibilities of a scaffold expert, creating a level and stable foundation, platforms and planking, the danger of power lines, ramps and walkways, platform hazards, personal fall arrest systems, guarding against falling objects, and more.
