Minnesota Construction Safety and Ethics 24 PDH Discount Package 2

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 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 OSHA's electrical requirements for ground fault circuit interrupters to protect workers against electrical hazards.

With the wide use of portable tools on construction sites, the use of flexible cords often becomes necessary. Hazards are created when cords, cord connectors, receptacles, and cord- and plug-connected equipment are improperly used and maintained.  Shocks, burns or fire-related fatalities resulting from humans exposed to non-grounded equipment significantly contribute to the overall number of fatalities in the construction workplace.

OSHA recognizes that non-grounded equipment present serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed the Electrical Standard that contains the requirements for ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) to protect workers against 120-volt electrical hazards on the construction site.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to employers/business owners, engineers, managers, electricians, construction workers and any other personnel working with or around energized equipment that require grounding.

This online engineering PDH course presents OSHA guidance on the control of hazardous energy for protecting workers from the release of hazardous energy.

Employees can be seriously or fatally injured if machinery they service or maintain unexpectedly energizes, starts up, or releases stored energy. If the potential exists for the release of hazardous stored energy or for the re-accumulation of stored energy to a hazardous level, the employer must ensure that the employees take steps to prevent injury that may result from such release.

OSHA recognizes the risk of employees being exposed to the release of hazardous stored energy. Therefore, OSHA developed the Control of Hazardous Energy Standard to protect employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery or equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities.

This 2 PDH  online  course is applicable to employers, building owners, engineers, managers, electricians, construction workers and any other personnel who are involved in servicing and maintaining electrical machinery or equipment.

This online engineering PDH course provides helpful and easily-accessible instructions on how to work safely with photovoltaic (PV) systems. Some recommendations are based on the common sense and they will help readers to keep safe. This course includes description of specific hazards, their frequent causes, and ways to prevent and avoid them.

This course has three different sections:

• PV System Characteristics and Hazards section provides the background of PV system characteristics and relevant hazards involved with PV systems. Recommended safe-guards are provided.
• Safe PV Systems section presents a discussion of relevant safety standards and codes, and regulations that need to be followed and applied when designing, installing, testing and commissioning a PV system.
• The For Your Health section contains a discussion of possible injuries and elaborates on basic First Aid concepts.

Each section presents specific hazards to engineers, technicians and maintenance staff. Helping you distinguish these hazards and avert injury is the main goal of this course.

This 3 PDH online course is suitable for engineers involved in PV system installation and operation. The details presented cover issues related to safe work practices with PV systems. Upon successful completion, you will be able to recognize critical PV safety issues and will learn ways to avoid potential accidents.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the key areas for maintaining safety during construction at an airport. It presents details on how to maintain a functioning airport during construction, how to keep construction zones safe, and when to have specific zones open or close during construction.

Safety at construction zones is paramount, and this is even more so at airports where multiple stakeholders are involved in the construction process, including but not limited to the FAA, airport operators, contractors, airport users, and military personnel (at military airports).

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to architects, construction managers, safety, civil, electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineers as well as others interested in learning more about how construction at an airport can be performed safely.

In this online engineering PDH course, background on the philosophical models that guide ethical behavior is discussed and then applied to specific situations in engineering codes of ethics. This course is based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Professional Practice Curriculum, Volume 8, Section: Engineering Ethics.

Many engineering organizations have drafted codes of ethics to which their members are required to commit.  Generally, these codes are quite similar and are based on a few fundamental principles which provide guidance to professional engineers in common situations. Nevertheless, there are many difficult or ambiguous situations in which the best ethical solution is difficult to determine.

This 2 PDH online course is intended primarily for engineers seeking to learn ethical principles and how to apply them to their professional practice.
