SUPERVISORY SAFETY COURSE

This is a two-day seminar designed to provide the participants with effective tools to more effectively perform the safety functions of their jobs. The course is divided into four distinct subject areas:

Attitude toward Safety

Discussions are initiated as to how behaviors effect safety performance. Since 95% of all accidents occur because of unsafe acts in the workplace, special emphasis is placed on learning and appreciating the information, the effect of emotions on safety performance and how habits, both good and bad, are formed and how bad habits can be replaced.

Accident Investigation

In the previous session, the participant learned the difference between an unsafe act and an unsafe condition. This principle, as well as the “Domino Theory” and backtracking techniques are utilized to find all causes for an accident. The class is divided into groups for a workshop session to investigate actual accidents in the workplace. Interviewing techniques are mastered to obtain the facts of the case through interviewing of witnesses.

Safety Audits

This section introduces the participant to the four different types of safety audits. They are provided the principles of conducting a safety audit using this information. This hands-on activity is conducted by dividing the class into groups and the conduction of a field safety audit after which the groups return to the classroom for a discussion of their findings. Special emphasis is placed on the procedures they followed to obtain the information.

Safety Meetings

The final four hours of the course is devoted to standard setting techniques, the techniques involved in conducting an effective safety meeting and finally, the responsibility of supervision and/or each individual toward safety.

Summary of the course is contained in the concluding remarks where all four of the topics are brought together to demonstrate the need of all of the aspects learned in the course to be practiced in order to have an effective safety program and reduce accidents and injuries.

BASIC RESPIRATORY PROTECTION COURSE

This eight-hour course is designed to provide the worker with sufficient information to make intelligent choices involving respirator usage by explaining:

• Medical surveillance requirements
• Selection of appropriate respirators
• Care and use of respiratory protective equipment
• Acceptable maintenance practices
• Hands-on activities
• Written and skills testing

When completed, class participants should have an awareness of the needs and requirements for use of various respiratory protective devices available in industry. This course meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134.

ADVANCED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION COURSE

Packed into a sixteen-hour, two-day course, this course defines not only the application of respiratory protective devices, but provides a base of information concerning industrial respiratory protection practices. This course is designed for those persons who are responsible or accountable for the respiratory protection program and its implementation.

Subjects included are:

• OSHA regulations
• ANSI standards
• Respirator program requirements
• Air contaminants and IDLH conditions
• NIOSH documentation and certified equipment lists
• Types of respiratory protection
• Fit testing, requirements, problems and protocols
• Hands-on activities
• Written and skills testing

Successful completion of this course provides a basic knowledge of protective requirements and will enable participants to be aware of regulatory and health issues which effect the worker.

EPA

EPA’s 2008 Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule (as amended in 2010 and 2011), aims to protect the public from lead-based paint hazards associated with renovation, repair and painting activities. These activities can create hazardous lead dust when surfaces with lead paint, even from many decades ago, are disturbed. The rule requires workers to be certified and trained in the use of lead-safe work practices, and requires renovation, repair, and painting firms to be EPA-certified. These requirements became fully effective April 22, 2010
