Texas Construction Safety and Ethics 15 PDH Discount Package 1

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 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.

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for employers/business owners, engineers, managers, construction workers and any other personnel working on construction projects involving trenching and excavation safety.

This online engineering PDH course provides OSHA guidance on controlling electrical hazards for protecting workers from exposure to electrical hazards.

 

Electricity has been long recognized as a serious workplace hazed, exposing employees to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires and explosions. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, many workers have died from electrocutions at work, accounting for as many as 5% of all on-the-job-fatalities in a given year. What makes these statistics more tragic is that most of these fatalities could have been easily avoided.

 

OSHA recognizes that electrical hazards present serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed several standards for Controlling Electrical Hazards to protect employees working in the construction industry from exposure to electrical hazards.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to employers, building owners, engineers, electricians, managers, construction workers and any other personnel working on construction projects that involve exposure to electrical hazards.

This online engineering PDH course introduces basic fire protection issues related to the safeguarding of life and property against fire loss. It describes the fundamental principles of fire science and of the dynamics of fire growth in buildings and demonstrates how a sound understanding of these is necessary before viable fire protection measures can be implemented. In addition this course develops an engineering appreciation of standard practices and regulations related to the prevention, detection and suppression of fires.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, designers, architects, contractors, building professionals, and all other personnel involved with fire protection projects.

This online engineering PDH presents excerpts of the statutory laws and rules governing the practice of engineering in the State of Texas as stipulated in Title 22, Part 6 of the Texas Administrative Code, including proper use of the engineer’s seal, compliance, enforcement and more. 

 

This continuing education course also presents the Texas laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility for engineers to understand and apply when they are frequently faced with different moral dilemmas while practicing their profession. The rules of professional conduct will provide moral and ethical guidance to engineers in their decision making process. Most importantly, it will provide engineers with insight on how to respect and protect their engineering practice with the utmost professionalism.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Texas and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering laws, rules and ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete fifteen (15) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the Texas Laws and Rules, or to the rules of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
