This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the Confined Spaces standard that applies to construction work performed in confined spaces. It addresses the most common issues that employers 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. Fumes from flammable liquids in a poorly ventilated area can reach explosive levels.
Such hazards endanger both the workers in the confined space and others who become exposed to the hazards when they attempt to rescue injured workers. Therefore, employers must evaluate all confined spaces in which their employees work to determine whether hazards exist and whether the work to be done has the potential to create such hazards in the future.
This 3 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 PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with confined and permit spaces
- Gaining a general overview of the Confined Spaces standard’s requirements
- Learning about employer responsibilities and worker training
- Understanding the content of the permit space program
- Learning about the alternate procedures for certain permit spaces
- Understanding the responsibilities of entrants, attendants and entry supervisors
- Exploring different rescue and emergency services

This online engineering PDH course describes the hazards of electrical work and basic approaches to working safely.
Whenever working with power tools or on electrical circuits, there is a risk of electrical hazards, especially electrical shock. Anyone can be exposed to these hazards at home or at work. Workers are exposed to more hazards because job sites can be cluttered with tools and materials, fast-paced, and open to the weather. Risk is also higher at work because many jobs involve electric power tools.
Electrical trades workers must pay special attention to electrical hazards because they work on electrical circuits. Coming in contact with an electrical voltage can cause current to flow through the body, resulting in electrical shock and burns. Serious injury or even death may occur. As a source of energy, electricity is used without much thought about the hazards it can cause. Because electricity is a familiar part of our lives, it often is not treated with enough caution. As a result, an average of one worker is electrocuted on the job every day of every year!
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers, electricians, plant operators, construction personnel and others seeking an understanding of the basics of electrical system safety.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the dangers of electricity
- Understanding the dangers of electric shocks
- Familiarizing with the burns caused by electricity
- Learning how to recognize, evaluate, and control hazards
- Knowing how to work safely
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty (30) questions to earn 6 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.

This online engineering PDH course describes the strategy involving the application of shoulder rumble strips (SRS) and centerline rumble strips (CLRS) in combination. This strategy is intended to reduce the frequency of crashes by alerting drivers that they are about to leave the travelled lane. While research has been published on the safety effectiveness of SRS or CLRS used in isolation, the effectiveness of the combined treatment has not been shown.
Geometric, traffic, and crash data were obtained at treated two-lane rural road locations in Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania. To account for potential selection bias and regression-to-the-mean, an Empirical Bayes (EB) before-after analysis was conducted using reference groups of untreated two-lane rural roads with similar characteristics to the treated sites. A slightly different approach was required for the analysis of the treatment sites in Missouri, which is installing rumble strips on two-lane rural roads whenever a resurfacing project is undertaken. As a result, a suitable reference group with no rumble strips for this road type presently or in the near future did not exist. The analysis also controls for changes in traffic volumes over time and time trends in crash counts unrelated to the treatment.
This 4 PDH online course is intended for traffic engineers, design professionals and construction personnel who are involved in the design and application of centerline and shoulder rumble strips.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the background information about the strategy and the study
- Familiarizing with previous research of SRS and CLRS
- Learning about the Empirical Bayes (EB) methodology used for the evaluation
- Understanding the data collection of the three States in study
- Familiarizing with the SPFs developed for each State
- Familiarizing with the before-after evaluation results of crashes

This online engineering PDH course provides information on effective ergonomic interventions that help lower the physical demands of manual material handling (MMH) work.
Manual material handling work contributes to a large percentage of 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.
Effective ergonomic interventions can lower the physical demands of MMH work tasks, thereby lowering the incidence and severity of the musculoskeletal injuries they can cause. Their potential for reducing injury-related costs alone make ergonomic interventions a useful tool for improving a company’s productivity, product quality, and overall business competitiveness.
This 3 PDH online course 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 PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basics of manual material handling
- Understanding the importance of improving the workplace
- Understanding the conditions associated with the development of injuries in manual material handling tasks
- Learning about the different types of ergonomic improvements
- Knowing easier ways to manually lift, lower, fill, or empty containers
- Exploring alternatives to the manual handling of individual containers
