Participants are instructed on both fire prevention and fire safety education, application of the principles of life safety in buildings and how these principles provide the foundation for fire prevention.

Module topics include principles of fall arrest, restraint and positioning (ARP) to prevent the occurrence of a fall. Instruction includes selection of the applicable fall prevention or protection components; limitations of fall arrest and prevention systems and the regulations regarding fall protection. Participate in demonstrating the inspection and use of fall protection equipment including the procedure to implement a fall prevention, protection and/or rescue plan for assigned activities.

This module covers the safety and health aspects of excavation and trenching. Course topics include practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and un-shored slopes and walls of excavations, introduction of various types of shoring (wood timbers and hydraulic), soil classification, and use of protective systems. Testing methods are demonstrated and participants participate in workshops in the use of instruments such as penetrometers, torvane shears, and engineering rods. Upon course completion participants will have the ability to assess the associated hazards and utilize soil testing methods to classify soil types, determine protective systems for excavation operations and training requirements.

This module covers OSHA requirements for emergency action and fire protection plans. Module topics include purpose and requirements of emergency action and fire prevention plans, elements of emergency evacuation plans, and features of design and maintenance of emergency exit routes. Participants will participate in workshops pertaining to the development of emergency action plans. Upon module completion participants will have the ability to implement an emergency action plan, recognize violations of OSHA exit route requirements, determine whether their department requires an emergency action plan; implement workplace emergency action and fire protection plans.

This module covers Electrical Standards and the hazards associated with electrical installations and equipment. Module topics include single and three- phase electrical systems, cord and plug connected and fixed equipment, grounding, ground fault circuit interrupters, and safety-related work practices. Emphasis is placed on electrical hazard recognition, standards, policies, procedures and applicable portions of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Upon module completion participants will have the ability to understand the severity of electrical current on the human body, recognize and evaluate actual and potential electrical hazards, determine hazard abatement measures, and understand the proper use of electrical testing and electrical protective equipment. Participants of this module will have had advanced training and/or experience in an electrical discipline. In addition, this module is in part a requirement by the NFPA 70E as a refresher module. The how to perform hazard identification and risk assessment analysis will be emphasized. Advanced electrical safety topics will be reviewed and discussed.
