New York Industrial and Ethics 18 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course provides information on underground storage tanks (UTSs), in particular, field-constructed tanks (FCTs) and airport hydrant systems (AHSs) used for storing and maintaining various types of substances. 

Underground storage tanks form a crucial part of our country’s fueling infrastructure. It is important for USTs to be constructed, maintained, and operated in a manner such that petroleum and other regulated substances are stored safely.

The operation and design of Field-constructed tanks (FCTs) and airport hydrant systems (AHSs) is different from conventional UST systems. Consequently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced additional requirements and regulations to help prevent any potential issues which might arise from these systems. Leaks of hazardous substances and releases contaminate soil and ground water supplies, threatening both human health and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the established regulations, proper installation and maintenance requirements to help prevent and detect harmful releases from UST systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the types of radiation, the health effects due to exposure and the way it is regulated.

Radiation has always been present and is all around us. Life has evolved in a world containing significant levels of ionizing radiation. We are also exposed to man-made radiation from sources such as medical treatments and activities involving radioactive material.

The health effects of radiation are well understood. Since the early 20th century, radiation’s effects have been studied in depth, in both the laboratory and among human populations. Because of the known health risks of radiation, it must be carefully used and strictly controlled. A balance must be struck between radiation’s societal benefits and the risks that radiation poses to people, health and the environment.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security of Canadians and the environment; and to implement Canada's international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It also sets dose limits to prevent workers and the public from excessive radiation exposure.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance about the selection process for snow removal and ice control equipment.

The selection process involves three components: identifying the type of equipment for a specific task, determining the number of such equipment, and using the recommended equipment specification to better ensure that the equipment performs the required task.

Airport operators should maintain runways and taxiways if possible, to a “no worse than wet” condition during winter storms. To meet this challenge, the purchase of snow and ice control equipment will not only require significant financial commitments, but also require careful planning and a fundamental understanding of snow and removal equipment.

This online engineering PDH course presents the regulations, policies and procedures for the safe use and handling of radioactive materials and radiation generating devices. It describes the effects of radiation and how to minimize the dangers present in a radiation filled environment.

Nuclear chemicals are present in many modern facilities. It is often harnessed as a cleaner source of energy than fossil fuels. However, the energy stored in these volatile chemicals may lead to many dangers. Consequently, it is very important to strictly regulate how to handle these chemicals in order to protect employees working in hazardous environments.

This online engineering PDH course presents the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of New York. Excerpts from Parts 17 and 29 of the Rules of Board of Regents, which relate to the laws and rules of profession conduct are presented in this course.

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

Since engineers are faced with frequent moral and ethical dilemmas while practicing their engineering profession, this course will provide you with moral and ethical guidance in your decision making process. Most importantly, it will provide you with insight on how to conduct, respect and protect your engineering practice with the utmost professionalism.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of New York and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete thirty six (36) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the principals of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
