The purpose of this module is to help participants identify and eliminate potentially hazardous conditions in their environment, recognize emergencies and make appropriate decisions for first aid care. It teaches skills that participants need to know in order to provide immediate care of a suddenly ill or injured person until more advanced medical care arrives.

This module provides fundamental information regarding the history of fire prevention, use of fire codes, identification and correction of fire hazards, and the relationships of fire prevention with built-in fire protection systems, fire investigation, and fire and life safety education.

This module provides the student with an understanding of fire prevention and fire safety education programs. 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.

Electrical Protective Equipment is designed to isolate an employee from energized systems, equipment and/or machines. It has specific intended uses and must be issued, worn and maintained while in service by employees with electrical responsibilities. Module Objective: When to use electrical protective equipment; demonstration and discussion of the available styles, types and classifications of electrical protective equipment; how to select, complete field inspections and maintain electrical protective equipment while in active service.

Employees with electrical responsibilities.

This program outlines the procedures for safe operations and the training requirements regarding overhead cranes, hoists and rigging equipment.

Overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging equipment are used for lifting and moving materials. In order to maintain a safe workplace for its employees, only qualified individuals shall operate these devices.

Module topics include recognition of confined space hazards, identification of permit and non-permit required confined spaces, use of instrumentation to evaluate atmospheric hazards, ventilation techniques, development and implementation of a confined space program, proper signage, and training requirements. This module features workshops on permit entry classification, instrumentation, and program development. Upon module completion, participants will have the ability to identify permit and non-permit required confined spaces, reference the OSHA Permit-Required Confined Spaces Standard, conduct atmospheric testing, and implement a permit-required confined space program.

For those who are at risk of exposure to the safety and health hazards associated with permit-required confined space entry.

This module provides the basic knowledge to safely operate and maintain boiler systems. Instruction includes the fundamentals of boiler operation and maintenance. Covers steam, feed water, fuel, and draft systems. Includes boiler water treatment and hot water heating systems. Introduces safe mechanical operating procedures used in the industry.
