Be Safe, Be Well

This safety training is built into the employees first week of training.

Included in this training:

1. Walking and Working Surfaces
2. Ergonomics
3. Asbestos Awareness

This safety training is built into the employees first week of training.

This course is a campus-wide offering required for employees with exposures over the Action Level of 25 micrograms per cubic meter calculated as an 8 hour time weighted average. For technical issues, contact Tara Cordes at tara.cordes@wisc.edu.

Employees with respirable crystalline silica exposures.

The Active Threat Response training module will review the skills needed to survive a violent event. The focus is on situational awareness, decision making and the Run, Hide, Fight method of dealing with an active threat. The training incudes research results, data from survivors and practical simulations to re-enforce the material. The module includes a welcome from the UWPD Police Chief, full length active threat videos and links to resources to assist after an event.

Join your colleagues and debrief the Managing Stress and Finding Vitality at Work Self-Guided Virtual Course! This is a live virtual discussion. You will receive a link 24 hours before the session in your email.

Why should you attend?

• Reflect on how you have used strategies from the self-guided virtual course

• Hear what strategies others are using to manage stress

Resilience is the capacity to recover from difficulties. It is an ability that can be strengthened and improved. In this 90-minute virtual module, we will explore ways to increase personal resilience and show up for others during these challenging days. In this course you will:

• Learn six variables that can be strengthened to increase resilience
• Participate in a focused activity or discussion of a concept in each variable
• Develop an action plan for your personal resilience

Time Management is really all about self-management. Everyone has a finite amount of minutes, hours, and days to get work done. But, some people are able to accomplish more than others. This class will explore where your energy is spent and strategies for how to consciously decide how to eliminate or mitigate obstacles that get in the way of productivity.

As a result of this module, you will:

• Identify where you currently spend and where you want to spend time and energy
• Recognize your time/self-management skills and weaknesses, in order to minimize or eliminate “time robbers”
• Utilized strategies and create an action plan to better manage time/self

To instruct on the most common types of welding, brazing, soldering and cutting (gas and arc), the hazards that are involved while performing these activities and the safety measure that shall be undertaken to minimize and prevent the occurrence of their associated hazards.

For instruction of the hazards related to working surfaces such as floors, walkways, stairs and ramps, and preventive measures for slips, trips and falls.

To educate employees with tunnel entry responsibilities in the understanding of the hazards of working in general, constrained, confined and/or conditional environments that are present in tunnel systems. This includes use of self and team rescue devices.

Participants will receive both classroom, hands-on training and practice in the proper procedure of traffic control. Topics covered are lane closures on freeways, expressways, and public roads, identify equipment needed for lane closures, identify areas of a traffic control zone, describe and demonstrate sign and cone spacing for freeway and expressway closures, describe and demonstrate taper lengths for freeway and expressway closures, demonstrate proper set-up of required signs and demonstrate proper set-up and removal of lane closures.

This module is designed to give the participant a thorough understanding of the responsibilities of a traffic control worker.

Modules introduces the participant the appropriate scaffold construction methods which include: erecting, moving or altering scaffolds properly, and protecting from falling objects or tools. The module includes information ensuring stable access on scaffolds and the hazards involved with scaffolds. Inspection and fall protection are also discussed. For system scaffold.
