Construction Safety 15 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course presents the OSHA guidelines for fall protection for protecting workers against potential fall hazards.

Historically, falls are the leading cause of fatalities in construction, accounting for about one-third of all fatalities in the industry. Workers involved in working at heights are exposed to potential fall hazards.  Accidents involving falls are generally complex events frequently involving a variety of factors

OSHA recognizes that working at heights presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Consequently, the standard for fall protection deals with both the human and equipment-related issues in protecting workers from fall hazards.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for employers/business owners, engineers, managers and construction workers interested in better understanding the Fall Protection in Construction requirements and the reasons behind them.

This online engineering PDH course provides responsible employers, workers, and worker representatives with a sound, flexible framework for addressing safety and health issues on diverse construction job sites.

This course follows a proactive approach to managing occupational safety and health rather than a traditional approach where actions are taken only after a worker is injured or becomes sick. Finding and fixing hazards before they cause injury or illness is a far more effective approach. Doing so avoids the direct and indirect costs of worker injuries and illnesses and promotes a positive work environment.

Employers will find that implementing the recommended practices highlighted in this course will bring other benefits as well such as improvements in production/quality, better employee morale, improved employee recruiting and retention, and a more favorable image and reputation among customers, suppliers, and the community.

This online engineering PDH course provides OSHA guidance on scaffolds for protecting workers using scaffolding systems on construction sites.

Scaffolding hazards continue to rank high on the list of most frequently cited standards in the construction industry.  Workers involved in working on scaffolding systems are exposed to potential fall hazards. Scaffold-related accidents account for a significant number of fatalities in the construction workplace.

OSHA recognizes that working on scaffolding systems present serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed the Scaffold Standard to protect workers using scaffolding systems on construction sites.

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to employers/business owners, engineers, managers, construction contractors/workers and any other personnel working on construction projects that require scaffolding.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on OSHA construction safety and health standards that apply to all stairways and ladders used in construction, alteration, repair, painting, decorating and demolition of worksites.

Stairways and ladders are major sources of injuries and fatalities among construction workers, and many of the injuries are serious enough to require time off the job. OSHA recognizes that carelessness/misuse in using stairways and ladders presents serious danger to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed the "Stairways and Ladders" guidance document to minimize hazards and protect employees from construction related accidents.

This 1 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 guidance on the requirements for excavation and trenching operations. This course describes safe work practices that can protect workers from cave-ins and other hazards.

Trenching and excavation work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than some other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities. One cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as a car. An unprotected trench can be an early grave. Employers must ensure that workers enter trenches only after adequate protections are in place to address cave-in hazards.  Other potential hazards associated with trenching work include falling loads, hazardous atmospheres and hazards from mobile equipment. Following the requirements of OSHA Excavation standards will prevent or greatly reduce the risk of cave-ins and other excavation-related incidents.
