Construction Safety 12 PDH Discount Package 3

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the OSHA rules that cover common situations, for example, fall prevention, scaffold safety, worker safety in trench work, asbestos and lead exposure, electrical hazards, respirator use, and nail gun use. The course is based on twenty-four OSHA Quick Cards and Fact Sheets (http://www.osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.html) related to hazards associated with construction, demolition, and cleanup. As a result, the course material is concise, easy to read, and easy to remember.

Construction, demolition, and cleanup projects are inherently hazardous. Accident rates in these industries are accordingly higher than in other industries. OSHA's mission is to reduce these accident rates through safety rules and regulations.

This 4 PDH online course is intended primarily for all engineers, design professionals, construction professionals and others who are involved with construction, demolition and cleanup projects.

This online engineering PDH course focuses on thirty of the accident summaries, selected to provide exposure to a wide variety of accident types. The accident summaries are supplemented by background information about industrial accidents in general and the construction industry in particular.  In addition, the lessons distilled from the accident summaries are used to formulate three common-sense principles of accident prevention.

In the United States, about 4,500 workers die each year in accidents on the job. Many of these accidents are the result of a failure to follow proper work practices. In an effort to increase awareness of this situation, OSHA maintains on its website a collection of "Fatal Facts" which are summaries of accidents in which one or more workers died because of improper work practices. These summaries often make for gripping reading because they show repeatedly how simple mistakes can lead to tragic deaths.

This 4 PDH online course is intended primarily for all engineers, designers, contractors, construction personnel and other who are responsible for employee safety and OSHA compliance in potentially hazardous occupations.

This online engineering PDH course addesses Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) types, selection and training, as well as conducting a hazard assessment of the workplace.

Hazards exist in every workplace in many different scenarios: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect employees. Depending on the hazard or workplace conditions, OSHA recommends the use of engineering or work practice controls to manage or eliminate hazards to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, OSHA developed the Personal Protection Equipment Standard to protect employees from workplace hazards that can cause injury.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to all engineers, employers, building owners, facility managers, and all personnel working on construction projects.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the proper approach to assessing the workplace environment for hazards and their remedies. It presents the most important recommendations and how to apply them to the situation at hand. Through the completion of this course, an employer or manager can determine what actions are necessary to reduce the risk of employee exposure to these hazards.

There are four main hazards associated with industrial work: fall, electrical, struck-by, and caught-in. These hazards are known to cause injuries and fatalities in the workplace. It is important to train managers and employees on how to identify, avoid, and remedy these risks in the workplace. When employees are trained for these hazards, the potential for injuries, fatalities and the liability to the employer are all decreased.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, contractors, construction workers and other professionals interested in understanding the four main hazards that may appear in the workplace and how to better prepare to identify and correct those hazards.
