According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), exposure to respirable crystalline silica remains a serious threat to approximately 300,000 workers in over 75,000 U.S. general industry and maritime workplaces. OSHA estimates that over 100,000 of these workers are in high-exposure-risk jobs, such as operations using sand products, including glass manufacturing and sandblasting. Respirable crystalline silica, or silica, is a common mineral found in materials such as stone, artificial stone, and sand, and it has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. Additionally, breathing crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, which in severe cases can be disabling, or even fatal. The respirable silica dust enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. There is no cure for silicosis. The OSHA respirable crystalline silica rule for general industry found at 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.1053 sets forth requirements to significantly reduce the amount of silica dust that workers can be exposed to in the workplace, including employee training. This training session will cover the hazards of respirable crystalline silica and how to protect yourself and others each day on the job.

Grounds maintenance workers keep the grounds of houses, businesses, universities, parks, and public infrastructure attractive, orderly, and healthy for a pleasant outdoor environment. Jobs include lawn installation and care, landscaping, planting and caring for trees and shrubs, and pesticide application, and some work involves building or repairing walkways and retaining walls and installing lighting or sprinkler systems. The work can be dangerous. Deaths related to the work are uncommon, but it does result in injuries and illnesses that can be prevented with proper training and practice of safety measures.

As a new worker at a hazardous waste site or treatment, storage, and disposal facility, or TSDF, you need to learn about the safety and health risks associated with facility operations. This course provides an overview of the HAZWOPER regulatory standard’s safety requirements for hazardous waste facility operations, the types of potential hazardous exposures, medical surveillance requirements, the practices and procedures to reduce the risk of an incident or exposure to a hazard, the hazard controls deployed to help ensure safety, and the proper use of personal protective equipment, or PPE.

When responding to incidents involving hazardous substances, it’s often necessary for response personnel to wear self-contained breathing apparatuses and fully encapsulating suits to protect against toxic environments during the decontamination process. A routine of donning and doffing your suit must be established and practiced frequently. In this session, we will teach you the basics of donning and doffing and go over the important procedures of the decontamination process.

Trainees will learn to understand their role as a first responder and the company’s emergency response plan; identify hazardous substances and know the risks if they are released or spilled; recognize a hazardous release or spill and potential outcomes; report the spill or release by calling for help, notifying others of the chemical spill or release, and helping coordinate an evacuation. Duration: 19 minutes.

Today, we’re going to talk about the medical surveillance program required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, known as HAZWOPER. You can find the HAZWOPER requirements for medical surveillance in the Code of Federal Regulations at 29 CFR 1910.120(f). When OSHA developed this regulation, it realized that handling hazardous waste is a difficult job that may expose you to many hazards, among them toxic chemicals, safety hazards, biological hazards, and radiation. Therefore, OSHA decided that a medical surveillance program was essential to assess and monitor your health and fitness both before employment and during the course of work, and to provide you and your coworkers with emergency and other medical treatment as needed.

Today, we’re going to talk about on-site safety considerations required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, known as HAZWOPER. When OSHA developed the HAZWOPER regulation, it realized that handling hazardous waste is a difficult job that may expose you to many hazards that you need to know about before you work with any materials. In this training session, you’ll learn all about on-site safety considerations related to HAZWOPER.

“Personal protective equipment, or PPE, provides a barrier between you and the hazards of your job. The right PPE, properly used and maintained, can protect you from the hazards involved in the emergency response tasks you perform—and it can help ensure that you are able to go home safe and healthy at the end of your shift. But for PPE to protect you properly in emergency situations involving hazardous substances or other safety and health hazards, you have to know how to select the right equipment for the job, understand its capabilities and limitations, use it properly, and remove it safely. We’ll discuss all these important issues and more in this training session.
The main objective of this session is to provide you with the information you need to know about emergency response PPE so that you can use this important equipment properly to protect your health and safety when responding to releases or substantial threats of releases of hazardous substances.”

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA was enacted in 1996 to increase access to and the efficiency of the healthcare system in the United States. One very important aspect of HIPAA is its Privacy Rule, which protects individual’s medical records and other health-related information. This rule is especially important in the electronic age when so much information is readily available to so many. HIPAA requires that the Department of Health and Human Services publicize standards for the electronic exchange, privacy, and security of health information. Today, we’ll explain what the HIPAA Privacy Rule is, why it is important, and how it helps protect your personal health information as well as the health information of patients in your facility.

Healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, physicians’ offices, dental practices, blood banks, veterinary hospitals/clinics, and medical research facilities and laboratories, generate medical wastes. As a healthcare worker, you may be exposed to medical wastes on the job. For example, patient care workers, housekeepers, maintenance personnel, and others may all be involved in handling medical wastes or at least come in contact with these materials. Some medical wastes can be hazardous to your health. This course is designed to explain the hazards of medical wastes, the precautions you can take to protect yourself from harmful exposures, and the procedures you must follow to protect yourself and your facility coworkers from the hazards of medical wastes.

Hazardous chemicals are found in many workplaces, and every day millions of workers face potential exposure. Therefore, it is important to know what chemicals are in your workplace, what hazards they present, and how to limit exposure to those chemicals.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard requires that employees be informed of the hazards associated with the chemicals in their workplace and how to protect themselves from those hazards. This course describes how that information is conveyed to employees.

By the end of the training you will be able to explain the purpose of the HazCom standard; recognize the risks posed by hazardous chemicals in your workplace; explain the purpose and content of safety data sheets (SDSs) and how to access that information; interpret the information on chemical labels; and identify and apply appropriate measures to protect yourself from the chemical hazards in your workplace and respond to emergencies.

Hazardous chemicals are found in many workplaces, and every day millions of workers face potential exposure. Therefore, it is important to know what chemicals are in your workplace, what hazards they present, and how to limit exposure to those chemicals. This session reviews some of the most important points.

El objetivo principal de esta sesión es enseñarle sobre la comunicación de riesgos. Al finalizar esta sesión, usted será capaz de reconocer las sustancias químicas peligrosas; entender los riesgos que representan; interpretar la información de las etiquetas de sustancias químicas; entender las hojas de datos de seguridad o SDS; protegerse de los riesgos físicos y de salud, y responder a las emergencias.

The main objectives of this training session are to understand the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) revisions to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and how they affect the workplace, to recognize the revised chemical labels and safety data sheets (SDS), and to train employees to read and interpret the GHS-compliant labels and SDSs.

Hazard communication is a requirement of state and federal law. The standard, which is also referred to as the worker right to know standard, makes sure that you know all about the possible dangers of hazardous chemicals that you may come into contact with as a healthcare worker and gives you the information to protect yourself from those hazards. Your employer is required to provide you with this information for the hazardous chemicals present in your workplace.

Many of the chemicals you work with may be dangerous and even deadly. That’s why all spills, no matter how small, must be taken seriously and handled without hesitation. You need to know how to react. By acting quickly and effectively, you can protect yourself and others and help prevent a spill from getting out of control. To handle spills of hazardous materials, or hazmat, your worksite has developed procedures to address and control this emergency situation. Today, we’ll review the necessary cleanup procedures for hazardous spills, and we’ll also take a look at the air monitoring process that plays an important part in the cleanup operation.

Today, we’re going to talk about the safe transportation of hazardous materials, which are also referred to as HAZMAT. The Department of Transportation, or DOT, says that most incidents involving the release of hazardous materials are the result of human error. This means that most incidents can be prevented if you know proper safety procedures and follow the requirements of the HAZMAT transportation regulations. The more you know about how to transport hazardous materials, the safer you’ll be personally and the safer the shipments you’re involved with will be, as well.

Containers are the most common unit used to store and transport hazardous waste. They are often preferred over tanks and surface impoundments largely due to the ease with which they can be handled and their relative inexpensiveness. Containers are a good option for hazardous waste handlers who want to store, transport, and dispose of hazardous waste without changing the unit. Before regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, containers were frequently mismanaged or abandoned. Some of the worst environmental disasters associated with hazardous wastes were caused by the failure of containers. When the abandoned containers became weathered or corroded, the hazardous contents were released, posing a far-reaching danger to human health and the environment. Additionally, many containers were not properly labeled or not labeled at all. As such, they posed hazards due to their “unknown” contents. Consequently, properly managing containers of hazardous waste is a critical part of the RCRA regulatory system for handling hazardous wastes safely, while protecting the environment and the health and well-being of workers and of the public. Each handler of containers of hazardous waste plays an important role in this process.

Emergency situations involving damage to property or injury to co-workers can and do occur at facilities that handle hazardous wastes. This training session will focus on emergency response procedures required under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, regulations for personnel at hazardous waste large quantity generators, or LQGs, and hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs. In addition, this session will address the actions you can take to help prevent or mitigate an emergency’s often devastating effects and describe the various emergencies that could potentially occur at your workplace and how to respond to them. The EPA regulations address the hazardous waste facility preparedness and prevention requirements for emergencies at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for LQGs at 40 CFR 262.250 to 262.256, for TSDFs at 40 CFR 264.30 to 264.37, and for hazardous waste small quantity generators, SQGs, at 40 CFR 262.16(b)(8) and 40 CFR 262.16(b)(9). The session also applies to SQGs, although these generators are not required to have formal written training programs for their employees or a written contingency plan. Note that this session does not address the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, hazardous waste operations and emergency response, or HAZWOPER, or hazard communication requirements.

Employees at a hazardous waste facility who are unfamiliar with the procedures and preventive measures specific to their job duties will likely lead to injuries and violations of OSHA and EPA rules.  This course provides information for workers involved in hazardous waste operations about the processes and procedures to perform their work safely. It covers hazardous waste facility routine operations, waste acceptance policies and procedures, equipment maintenance requirements, and emergency preparedness, prevention, and response procedures.  By the end of the course, you will be able to understand your facility’s hazardous waste management processes and procedures as they relate to your job, comprehend the facility’s waste acceptance procedures, know equipment maintenance requirements, recognize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) required for your job, understand the facility’s emergency and contingency plans, and act safely and effectively in an emergency. Duration: 17 minutes.

This session is about safely and correctly working around hazardous wastes. It covers the basics of hazardous waste management for all workers who handle hazardous wastes.

Any generator that offers hazardous wastes for transportation for off-site treatment, storage, or disposal must prepare a manifest using a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22). Although the hazardous waste generator bears the responsibility for creating the manifest, transporters and receiving facilities also play a key role. Training is necessary to ensure compliance with this shipping paper that is the key to documenting the safe and compliant transport of hazardous waste. Those responsible for signing a manifest or for completing any part of this specialized shipping paper should receive training so that they understand and can competently perform their role. Regulations regarding hazardous waste manifests are found for hazardous waste generators at 40 Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR, 262 Subpart B; for transporters at 40 CFR 263 Subpart B; and for receiving facilities, including treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, at 40 CFR 264/265 Subpart E. This training session will describe how to properly complete a manifest, help you know what additional documents may need to be attached to the manifest, and explain how parts of the manifest are distributed.

Today, we’re going to talk about hazardous waste recordkeeping requirements. There are numerous recordkeeping requirements in the hazardous waste regulations. The importance of proper recordkeeping is best illustrated by the fact that many of the most common citations for violations of the regulations involve a lack of proper recordkeeping. During this session, you’ll learn about the records that must be kept, as well as records that are prudent to keep, although they may not be required by the regulations. This session is directed toward hazardous waste large quantity generators, or LQGs, and small quantity generators, or SQGs. Hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, have similar, but in some cases, additional requirements.The main objective of this session is to help you understand the recordkeeping requirements of the federal hazardous waste regulations. By the time the session is over, you will be able to understand the importance of keeping accurate records; comprehend recordkeeping requirements of the hazardous waste regulations; identify which records must be kept; and know how long to retain records.

Hazardous waste safety—what you need to know to make sure that safety is not compromised in any operations involving these materials in the laboratory

Today, we’re going to talk about the health effects of hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes are composed of substances that can be harmful to your health. Exposure to some hazardous wastes can cause serious illness, injury, or even death. However, these materials can be handled and disposed of safely if proper procedures are carefully followed. This training session will introduce you to the hazards of hazardous wastes and the steps to take to prevent harmful exposures. With adequate information about hazardous waste, you can minimize risks and protect your health on the job.

The federal hazardous materials, or hazmat, transportation regulations were developed to ensure the safe shipment of hazardous materials. Today, we’re going to talk about a very important aspect of safe hazmat transportation: packaging. Hazmat must be properly packaged so it doesn’t leak or create some other hazard during transportation. The U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, says that most incidents involving the release of hazardous materials are the result of human error, including improper packaging. Because you are involved in packaging hazmat, the more you know about how to package it for transport, the safer the shipments of hazmat you’re involved with will be.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements at 49 CFR 172.704 Subpart H are designed to enhance the security of hazardous materials transported in commerce. As part of these requirements, shippers and carriers of certain hazardous materials must develop and implement security plans. Also, all shippers and carriers of hazardous materials must ensure that their employee training programs include a component on security. This course covers Hazmat transportation security awareness training.

According to the American Society of Safety Engineers, every day in the United States there are approximately 800,000 shipments of hazardous materials (hazmat) transported by highway, rail, air, and vessels. The U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, requires each hazmat employee to be provided with the first and, in some situations, both of the following types of security training in order to protect people and the environment from hazmat releases:

• Security awareness training
• In-depth security training

The first, “security awareness training,” must provide an awareness of security risks associated with hazmat transportation and methods designed to enhance transportation security. This training must include a component covering how to recognize and respond to possible security threats. Described at 49 Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR,172.704(a)(4), this training is required for each hazmat employee and is covered by the Simplify Compliance TrainingToday® course “Hazmat Transportation Security Awareness.” “In-depth security training,” the second type of DOT security training, is described at 49 CFR 172.704(a)(5). This training is required if certain types and quantities of hazmat, as specified in 49 CFR 172.800, are transported in commerce. Offerors and transporters of this specific hazmat must have a “security plan” whose elements are outlined in the DOT regulations at 49 CFR 172.800 to 172.822. Employees must be trained on the elements of this security plan and its implementation. It must include company security objectives, organizational security structure, specific security procedures, specific security duties and responsibilities for each employee, and specific actions to be taken by each employee in the event of a security breach. The training session you are currently participating in is part of the in-depth security training.

As a commercial motor vehicle, or CMV, driver, you will be responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle. Your life, as well as the lives of everyone around you on the road are at stake. The federal hours-of-service, or HOS, rules were developed to reduce your likelihood of developing fatigue, being involved in fatigue-related crashes, and managing the health effects of driving long hours. Despite these measures, thousands of people are still injured and killed in CMV crashes each year. HOS rules place regulatory limits on when and how long you may drive, with the goal that these limits will help you stay awake and alert while driving. Today, we’ll review the requirements of the federal HOS rules and explain how they affect your job. These rules apply to interstate commerce, that is, transporting cargo or passengers across state lines.

Chemical reactions can be extremely hazardous if they are not thoroughly understood and controlled. When intentional or unintentional reactions get out of control, they can result in fires, explosions, or releases of toxic fumes or gases. You and your coworkers could be injured-or even killed-as a result of an uncontrolled chemical reaction. It’s essential, therefore, that you know how to safely manage reactive chemicals to prevent accidents. This course is intended for employees who may be exposed to reactive chemicals on the job. This course only covers reactive chemicals, and employees exposed to any hazardous chemicals on the job must receive comprehensive hazard communication training. This course is meant to supplement, but not replace, required hazard communication training.

Some organizations have drug and alcohol testing programs, while others do not. If your organization does have a program, “reasonable-suspicion testing” is when an employee is directed to undergo a drug or an alcohol test based on signs or symptoms that the employee is under the influence of a substance. Reasonable-suspicion testing should be based on observable factors like behavior, appearance, and body odor, not on rumors or hearsay. As a supervisor, you may be responsible for making reasonable-suspicion determinations and deciding when to refer an employee for a drug and alcohol test. If your company does not have a drug and alcohol testing program, you still must act if you believe an employee is under the influence at work or involved with ongoing substance abuse. Like with reasonable-suspicion testing, supervisors at organizations that don’t have testing programs must base actions on what they observe. Therefore, it’s essential that all supervisors recognize the signs and symptoms of intoxication and ongoing abuse and respond according to their organization’s policies.

Whether using diesel, gasoline, or other flammable liquids, refueling equipment is a necessary part of each construction project.

Millions of workers like you wear respirators in workplaces across a wide variety of industries to protect against poor oxygen environments, harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays. But just wearing a respirator is not enough. You need to know how to properly fit, use, inspect, and maintain your respirator to fully protect yourself from these respiratory hazards. If you don’t, these hazards can cause cancer, lung impairment, lung diseases, or even death.

Millions of workers wear respirators in workplaces across a wide variety of industries to protect against airborne contaminants and poor oxygen environments. But just wearing a respirator is not enough. Respirator users must know how to properly fit, use, inspect, and maintain their respirators to fully protect against respiratory hazards. This course will help you recognize respiratory hazards in your workplace and show you how to use and maintain respirators to keep yourself safe. By the end of the training, you will be able to identify common respiratory hazards and explain why respirators are necessary to protect against these hazards; describe how a respirator operates and recognize the capabilities and limitations of each type of respirator; safely wear and use your respirator; properly inspect, maintain, and store your respirator; recognize emergency situations and medical symptoms that limit the effective use of respirators; and summarize your employer’s obligations under the Respiratory Protection Standard. This course does not address the requirements for employees who voluntarily use respirators or for interior structural firefighters.

Whether you’re a supervisor, a safety manager, or other support staff, if you are tasked with performing respirator fit tests, it’s critical that you be properly trained to conduct OSHA-approved fit-test procedures. Respirators protect workers against insufficient oxygen environments, harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays, but to keep these harmful substances out, respirators must fit properly. OSHA requires fit testing before initial use and annually thereafter for all respirators that rely on a mask-to-face seal, and fit testing is the best way to make sure that the selected respirator properly fits the user’s face and provides maximum protection from airborne contaminants. While there are no specific training requirements for fit testers, there are specific procedures approved by OSHA that must be followed to ensure proper fit, and anyone performing fit tests should be trained on these procedures.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), exposure to respirable crystalline silica remains a serious threat to approximately 300,000 workers in over 75,000 U.S. general industry and maritime workplaces. OSHA estimates that over 100,000 of these workers are in high-exposure-risk jobs, such as operations using sand products, including glass manufacturing and sandblasting. Respirable crystalline silica, or silica, is a common mineral found in materials such as stone, artificial stone, and sand, and it has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. Additionally, breathing crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, which in severe cases can be disabling, or even fatal. The respirable silica dust enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. There is no cure for silicosis. The OSHA respirable crystalline silica rule for general industry found at 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.1053 sets forth requirements to significantly reduce the amount of silica dust that workers can be exposed to in the workplace, including employee training. This training session will cover the hazards of respirable crystalline silica and how to protect yourself and others each day on the job.

The more you know about how to transport hazardous materials, the safer you’ll be personally and the safer the shipments you’re involved with will be, as well.

Containers are the most common unit used to store and transport hazardous waste. They are often preferred over tanks and surface impoundments largely due to the ease with which they can be handled and their relative inexpensiveness. Containers are a good option for hazardous waste handlers who want to store, transport, and dispose of hazardous waste without changing the unit. Before regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, containers were frequently mismanaged or abandoned. Some of the worst environmental disasters associated with hazardous wastes were caused by the failure of containers. When the abandoned containers became weathered or corroded, the hazardous contents were released, posing a far-reaching danger to human health and the environment. Additionally, many containers were not properly labeled or not labeled at all. As such, they posed hazards due to their “unknown” contents. Consequently, properly managing containers of hazardous waste is a critical part of the RCRA regulatory system for handling hazardous wastes safely, while protecting the environment and the health and well-being of workers and of the public. Each handler of containers of hazardous waste plays an important role in this process.

Emergency situations involving damage to property or injury to co-workers can and do occur at facilities that handle hazardous wastes. This training session will focus on emergency response procedures required under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, regulations for personnel at hazardous waste large quantity generators, or LQGs, and hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs. In addition, this session will address the actions you can take to help prevent or mitigate an emergency’s often devastating effects and describe the various emergencies that could potentially occur at your workplace and how to respond to them. The EPA regulations address the hazardous waste facility preparedness and prevention requirements for emergencies at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for LQGs at 40 CFR 262.250 to 262.256, for TSDFs at 40 CFR 264.30 to 264.37, and for hazardous waste small quantity generators, SQGs, at 40 CFR 262.16(b)(8) and 40 CFR 262.16(b)(9). The session also applies to SQGs, although these generators are not required to have formal written training programs for their employees or a written contingency plan. Note that this session does not address the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, hazardous waste operations and emergency response, or HAZWOPER, or hazard communication requirements.

Employees at a hazardous waste facility who are unfamiliar with the procedures and preventive measures specific to their job duties will likely lead to injuries and violations of OSHA and EPA rules.  This course provides information for workers involved in hazardous waste operations about the processes and procedures to perform their work safely. It covers hazardous waste facility routine operations, waste acceptance policies and procedures, equipment maintenance requirements, and emergency preparedness, prevention, and response procedures.  By the end of the course, you will be able to understand your facility’s hazardous waste management processes and procedures as they relate to your job, comprehend the facility’s waste acceptance procedures, know equipment maintenance requirements, recognize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) required for your job, understand the facility’s emergency and contingency plans, and act safely and effectively in an emergency. Duration: 17 minutes.

This session is about safely and correctly working around hazardous wastes. It covers the basics of hazardous waste management for all workers who handle hazardous wastes.

Any generator that offers hazardous wastes for transportation for off-site treatment, storage, or disposal must prepare a manifest using a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22). Although the hazardous waste generator bears the responsibility for creating the manifest, transporters and receiving facilities also play a key role. Training is necessary to ensure compliance with this shipping paper that is the key to documenting the safe and compliant transport of hazardous waste. Those responsible for signing a manifest or for completing any part of this specialized shipping paper should receive training so that they understand and can competently perform their role. Regulations regarding hazardous waste manifests are found for hazardous waste generators at 40 Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR, 262 Subpart B; for transporters at 40 CFR 263 Subpart B; and for receiving facilities, including treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, at 40 CFR 264/265 Subpart E. This training session will describe how to properly complete a manifest, help you know what additional documents may need to be attached to the manifest, and explain how parts of the manifest are distributed.

Today, we’re going to talk about hazardous waste recordkeeping requirements. There are numerous recordkeeping requirements in the hazardous waste regulations. The importance of proper recordkeeping is best illustrated by the fact that many of the most common citations for violations of the regulations involve a lack of proper recordkeeping. During this session, you’ll learn about the records that must be kept, as well as records that are prudent to keep, although they may not be required by the regulations. This session is directed toward hazardous waste large quantity generators, or LQGs, and small quantity generators, or SQGs. Hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs, have similar, but in some cases, additional requirements.The main objective of this session is to help you understand the recordkeeping requirements of the federal hazardous waste regulations. By the time the session is over, you will be able to understand the importance of keeping accurate records; comprehend recordkeeping requirements of the hazardous waste regulations; identify which records must be kept; and know how long to retain records.

Today, we’re going to talk about the health effects of hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes are composed of substances that can be harmful to your health. Exposure to some hazardous wastes can cause serious illness, injury, or even death. However, these materials can be handled and disposed of safely if proper procedures are carefully followed. This training session will introduce you to the hazards of hazardous wastes and the steps to take to prevent harmful exposures. With adequate information about hazardous waste, you can minimize risks and protect your health on the job.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements at 49 CFR 172.704 Subpart H are designed to enhance the security of hazardous materials transported in commerce. As part of these requirements, shippers and carriers of certain hazardous materials must develop and implement security plans. Also, all shippers and carriers of hazardous materials must ensure that their employee training programs include a component on security. This course covers Hazmat transportation security awareness training.

You have the right and the responsibility to know about the hazards of lead and the proper procedures for protecting yourself and co-workers from exposure or harm. We’ll discuss lead in your work areas, how to identify lead hazards, and how to protect yourself from those hazards.

This course is intended for employees who work with metalworking fluids, or MWFs. These fluids are used to cool, lubricate, and prevent corrosion during machining operations and can also be used in grinding, cutting, boring, drilling, turning metal, and so on.

This online safety course will teach employees about the hazards of mold both in the workplace and at home. We will learn how to detect mold, where to find it, the health hazards and symptoms of mold exposure, how to clean up minor mold contamination, and how to prevent mold from growing.

Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is often the last line of defense from injury when other safety measures fail, such as engineering controls like guards and barriers and safe work practices you learned in training to limit exposure to hazards. There are barriers to wearing PPE, such as matching the right PPE for the hazard, having it fit comfortably, and maintaining it in good working condition. This course is for workers who are required to wear PPE because they are or may be exposed to physical or health hazards when engineering, administrative, and safe work practice controls can’t feasibly or effectively reduce exposures to safe levels.

After this training session, you will understand how a PPE hazard assessment is conducted, which involves evaluating the workplace and job functions for any potential hazards that can be controlled through the use of PPE; be able to select the proper PPE to protect against the hazards found during the hazard assessment; and be able to show employees how to properly wear and care for their PPE.

Chemical reactions can be extremely hazardous if they are not thoroughly understood and controlled. When intentional or unintentional reactions get out of control, they can result in fires, explosions, or releases of toxic fumes or gases. You and your coworkers could be injured-or even killed-as a result of an uncontrolled chemical reaction. It’s essential, therefore, that you know how to safely manage reactive chemicals to prevent accidents. This course is intended for employees who may be exposed to reactive chemicals on the job. This course only covers reactive chemicals, and employees exposed to any hazardous chemicals on the job must receive comprehensive hazard communication training. This course is meant to supplement, but not replace, required hazard communication training.

Today, we are going to talk about the safe operation of processes that use toxic and flammable chemicals and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s, or EPA’s, regulations for preventing chemical accidents. This training session is designed for employees working at facilities with processes categorized as Program 2 under the EPA’s Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions under 40 Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR, 68, otherwise known as the Risk Management Program, or RMP.

In this session, you’ll learn key terms, such as “conservation” and “sustainability”; energy conservation and why it is important; facts about energy use, including nonelectrical energy; costs of using and wasting energy; and tips, strategies, and opportunities for saving energy.

Today we’re going to talk about the prevention and control of oil spills and measures to prevent oil from polluting navigable waters and shorelines. Facilities like yours are required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, to develop a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan, or SPCC Plan. We’ll review the SPCC Plan and some best practices for preventing and controlling spills so that you can carry out your responsibilities related to the federal oil pollution prevention rules. After this session, your on-site trainer will go over more site-specific information about your facility policies for discharge prevention; spill response; facility operations; and your SPCC Plan.

Stormwater runoff is a major carrier of pollutants that damage rivers, lakes, streams, and coastal waters in the United States. To address this problem, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed a federal program under the Clean Water Act to regulate stormwater discharge sources. This training session will help identify the sources of pollutants in stormwater runoff, and implement procedures to prevent pollutants from getting into stormwater or the environment.

The use of paper in offices for printing, copying, and other purposes consumes valuable natural resources, pollutes the environment, and costs organizations money. Fortunately, these environmental and economic costs can be reduced by taking steps to decrease the amount of paper used in the workplace. Although it may not be possible for all companies to become completely paperless, using less paper is a goal that can be achieved with the proper knowledge and actions. This session is intended for all employees.

This presentation covers the employee training requirements for large and small quantity handlers of universal wastes. It does not address all the requirements for universal waste transporters or destination facilities.

In today’s presentation we’ll discuss Water Conservation—Making Every Drop Count! This session covers some basics about water usage and water pollution. This course is intended for all employees across all industries because everyone uses water and can benefit from learning how to conserve it.

This session covers corrosive materials. Corrosives are hazardous materials that can cause serious health problems if you fail to take proper precautions. Corrosives can also be safety hazards. Some are flammable and others can cause explosive reactions. Strong corrosives can react with all kinds of materials—even metal. All corrosives share a common chemical property—they degrade other materials due to their aggressive nature. To prevent accidents and injuries, you need to know how to work safely with corrosives.

This presentation is focused on the hazards of organic solvents, which are a dangerous group of solvents that can be hazardous to your skin and other organs of your body.

As a new worker at a hazardous waste site or treatment, storage, and disposal facility, or TSDF, you need to learn about the safety and health risks associated with facility operations. This course provides an overview of the HAZWOPER regulatory standard’s safety requirements for hazardous waste facility operations, the types of potential hazardous exposures, medical surveillance requirements, the practices and procedures to reduce the risk of an incident or exposure to a hazard, the hazard controls deployed to help ensure safety, and the proper use of personal protective equipment, or PPE.

When responding to incidents involving hazardous substances, it’s often necessary for response personnel to wear self-contained breathing apparatuses and fully encapsulating suits to protect against toxic environments during the decontamination process. A routine of donning and doffing your suit must be established and practiced frequently. In this session, we will teach you the basics of donning and doffing and go over the important procedures of the decontamination process.

Trainees will learn to understand their role as a first responder and the company’s emergency response plan; identify hazardous substances and know the risks if they are released or spilled; recognize a hazardous release or spill and potential outcomes; report the spill or release by calling for help, notifying others of the chemical spill or release, and helping coordinate an evacuation. Duration: 19 minutes.

Today, we’re going to talk about the medical surveillance program required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, known as HAZWOPER. You can find the HAZWOPER requirements for medical surveillance in the Code of Federal Regulations at 29 CFR 1910.120(f). When OSHA developed this regulation, it realized that handling hazardous waste is a difficult job that may expose you to many hazards, among them toxic chemicals, safety hazards, biological hazards, and radiation. Therefore, OSHA decided that a medical surveillance program was essential to assess and monitor your health and fitness both before employment and during the course of work, and to provide you and your coworkers with emergency and other medical treatment as needed.

Today, we’re going to talk about on-site safety considerations required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response standard, known as HAZWOPER. When OSHA developed the HAZWOPER regulation, it realized that handling hazardous waste is a difficult job that may expose you to many hazards that you need to know about before you work with any materials. In this training session, you’ll learn all about on-site safety considerations related to HAZWOPER.

“Personal protective equipment, or PPE, provides a barrier between you and the hazards of your job. The right PPE, properly used and maintained, can protect you from the hazards involved in the emergency response tasks you perform—and it can help ensure that you are able to go home safe and healthy at the end of your shift. But for PPE to protect you properly in emergency situations involving hazardous substances or other safety and health hazards, you have to know how to select the right equipment for the job, understand its capabilities and limitations, use it properly, and remove it safely. We’ll discuss all these important issues and more in this training session.
The main objective of this session is to provide you with the information you need to know about emergency response PPE so that you can use this important equipment properly to protect your health and safety when responding to releases or substantial threats of releases of hazardous substances.”

Hazardous chemicals are found in many workplaces, and every day millions of workers face potential exposure. Therefore, it is important to know what chemicals are in your workplace, what hazards they present, and how to limit exposure to those chemicals.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard requires that employees be informed of the hazards associated with the chemicals in their workplace and how to protect themselves from those hazards. This course describes how that information is conveyed to employees.

By the end of the training you will be able to explain the purpose of the HazCom standard; recognize the risks posed by hazardous chemicals in your workplace; explain the purpose and content of safety data sheets (SDSs) and how to access that information; interpret the information on chemical labels; and identify and apply appropriate measures to protect yourself from the chemical hazards in your workplace and respond to emergencies.

Many of the chemicals you work with may be dangerous and even deadly. That’s why all spills, no matter how small, must be taken seriously and handled without hesitation. You need to know how to react. By acting quickly and effectively, you can protect yourself and others and help prevent a spill from getting out of control. To handle spills of hazardous materials, or hazmat, your worksite has developed procedures to address and control this emergency situation. Today, we’ll review the necessary cleanup procedures for hazardous spills, and we’ll also take a look at the air monitoring process that plays an important part in the cleanup operation.

Emergency situations involving damage to property or injury to co-workers can and do occur at facilities that handle hazardous wastes. This training session will focus on emergency response procedures required under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, regulations for personnel at hazardous waste large quantity generators, or LQGs, and hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, or TSDFs. In addition, this session will address the actions you can take to help prevent or mitigate an emergency’s often devastating effects and describe the various emergencies that could potentially occur at your workplace and how to respond to them. The EPA regulations address the hazardous waste facility preparedness and prevention requirements for emergencies at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for LQGs at 40 CFR 262.250 to 262.256, for TSDFs at 40 CFR 264.30 to 264.37, and for hazardous waste small quantity generators, SQGs, at 40 CFR 262.16(b)(8) and 40 CFR 262.16(b)(9). The session also applies to SQGs, although these generators are not required to have formal written training programs for their employees or a written contingency plan. Note that this session does not address the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, or OSHA’s, hazardous waste operations and emergency response, or HAZWOPER, or hazard communication requirements.

This session is about safely and correctly working around hazardous wastes. It covers the basics of hazardous waste management for all workers who handle hazardous wastes.

We use many different chemicals in the workplace. We need them to produce our products and do our jobs. But often these materials can be hazardous to health and safety unless we take proper precautions when handling them. This session will discuss the steps you can take to safely handle the materials you work with so that you can prevent accidents, injuries, and illness.

OSHA’s HazCom standard requires containers of hazardous chemicals to be labeled with information about the possible hazards associated with the chemicals and how employees can protect themselves from those hazards. Therefore, being able recognize and interpret the various components of a chemical label is essential for the safe use of chemicals. GHS ensures that all labels provide clear and consistent information.

In this training session, we will discuss the hazards of flammable liquids, as well as the precautions required for working safely with them. Because flammable liquids can be so hazardous and cause fires, explosions, injuries, and extensive damage to workplaces, you need to know how to work safely with them so that you can minimize risks and prevent accidents.

No one wants to bring a disease home with them from work, but that risk exists for laboratory employees working with biological hazards such as viruses, bacteria, or select agents or toxins, as well blood, bodily fluids, and human tissues. Working with lab animals may also pose the threat of contamination. However, with the proper training and precautions, a lab employee’s safety and that of everyone else the employee comes in contact with can be protected. This training session focuses on biosafety, including the prevention of infections from bloodborne pathogens for laboratory workers.

Working with or around chemicals in a laboratory setting may present serious hazards to your physical safety and health. However, these hazards can be reduced and controlled by following a few simple steps. Safety procedures for the facility where you work are outlined in a document called the chemical hygiene plan, or CHP, which is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA. In this training session, we will discuss the provisions of this plan, including the information and procedures that will protect you and others while working in the laboratory.

Compressed gases are commonly used in laboratory operations and many other areas of life, from barbecuing to welding. However, these gases present real hazards. They can lead to fires and explosions, toxic contaminations that adversely affect the health of workers, and even widespread public health emergencies that may lead to an evacuation. Laboratory employees are responsible for using these gases safely. This means not only understanding the qualities and hazards of the gases themselves, but also learning the proper procedures for handling, using, and storing the cylinders containing these gases. That’s why this training session focuses on working safely with compressed gases and cylinders.

This training session will discuss the hazards of electricity and how to prevent exposure to electrical hazards. By the end of the training session, you will be able to understand the hazards of electricity, identify and avoid common electrical hazards, and follow safe work practices around electrical equipment.

Have you ever come home from work with a sore back, stiff neck, pain in your shoulders, pain or stiffness in your wrist or hands, or aching feet from standing for long periods? Most of us have experienced these aches and pains and may think little of them. However, if allowed to continue, these minor conditions can become severe, leading to chronic pain, lost work time, and even debilitation. We need to take the aches and pains that occur at work seriously and start doing all we can to prevent them. That’s what this training session on Ergonomics for the Laboratory is all about.

Hazardous waste safety—what you need to know to make sure that safety is not compromised in any operations involving these materials in the laboratory

Today, we’re going to talk about a very important workplace safety and health topic: industrial hygiene. You’ll learn what industrial hygiene is and how it helps protect you from workplace hazards.

This course is recommended for all laboratory personnel. Personal protective equipment, or PPE, provides a barrier between the human body and the hazards of working in a laboratory. The right PPE, properly used and maintained, can protect you from the hazards involved in any task you perform. However, it is up to you to take PPE requirements seriously and do all you can to protect yourself and work safely.

Welcome to the training session on laboratory recordkeeping for supervisors. We’ll cover all the basic laboratory safety records you have to maintain concerning the use of hazardous chemicals in the lab. We’ll talk about how to comply with federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, rules for recording workplace injuries and illnesses; maintaining safety data sheets, or SDSs, and chemical inventories; maintaining employee exposure and monitoring records related to occupational chemical exposures; and certifying that you have provided personal protective equipment training, or PPE, training, to employees who use PPE. You’ll want to have all these records on hand if an OSHA inspector visits your facility. We’ll also cover some laboratory recordkeeping guidelines that, though not required by law, will help you document compliance with other OSHA rules related to laboratory safety.

Today, we’re going to talk about laboratory security. Security is an especially important issue for laboratories, since we often have hazardous materials that could be appropriated and misused by people such as terrorists with violent intentions. We work hard to make laboratory areas as secure as possible, but we need your help to ensure that unauthorized individuals do not gain access to our facility and that hazardous materials are not released, endangering employees and the public. In today’s training session, you’ll learn all the ways you can help keep our laboratory secure to protect yourself, your co-workers, and the public from harm.

Today, we’re going to talk about working safely with lasers. During the session we’ll explain the hazards and protective measures associated with the operation of lasers. There is additional training required for people who service and maintain lasers that goes beyond the scope of this training.

Many people struggle to juggle a full-time job while also caring for young children, aging parents, and other responsibilities on a daily basis. It can feel like there are not enough hours in a day—that there are too many responsibilities at work and at home—and that you can’t complete tasks in either place—many people feel this way. This online employee wellness course helps trainees manage home and work responsibilities, stress, and daily expectations. The benefits to you, the employer, are numerous, from lower healthcare costs to increased employee productivity.

The main objective of this training session is to help you communicate effectively with employees about workplace emergencies. By the time the session is over, you should be able to communicate effectively before an emergency; communicate effectively during an emergency; and communicate effectively after an emergency. The first part of the session will address communication before emergencies to prepare employees to respond effectively in an actual emergency. The second part will cover communication during and after an emergency.

This training session is going to talk about the skills required for effective communication on the job. Communication is the process by which people create and share information, and ideas with one another in order to reach mutual understanding and get work done. Effective communication in the workplace is therefore the foundation of positive and cooperative working relationships and productive, successful performance.

Fires, extreme weather, hazardous chemical spills and releases, acts of terrorism, pandemics, explosions, workplace violence—these unfortunate disasters do happen—often bringing with them destruction, injuries, and sometimes even death. This course provides information about how employees can prepare for a disaster in the workplace and how to react if one should happen. It describes how to prevent some types of workplace disasters from happening, how employees’ actions can reduce the catastrophic results of other disasters, and what steps employees should take if a disaster does occur. By the end of the training, you will be able to identify the disasters that have the potential to occur at your workplace; implement the measures needed to prevent the occurrence of certain events such as chemical spills and explosions; recognize the actions you can take to prevent a worst-case scenario; and conduct an effective evacuation from your facility.

Fires, extreme weather, hazardous chemical spills and releases, acts of terrorism, pandemics, explosions, and workplace violence. We don’t like to think about disasters happening, but the unfortunate reality is, they do happen―often bringing with them destruction, injuries, and sometimes even death. So, while we know we can’t stop many of these disasters from happening, there is a lot you can do to both help prevent some of them and reduce the catastrophic results of others. What it takes is planning so you’re never caught off guard. In this training session, we’re going to talk about what you can do to stay on your toes and know exactly what to do if a disaster strikes in your area. Remember, seconds may count in an emergency, so make sure you pay close attention as we go through the important steps to successfully plan for and react to emergencies. We have a lot to go over, so let’s get started.

Accidents at home are the leading cause of injury-involved accidents. These accidents occur because there are no required rules to follow in the home, unlike the OSHA regulations we follow in the workplace. Many at-home injuries can be prevented if appropriate preventive measures are taken to eliminate or minimize hazards. This session is intended for all employees.

This presentation will cover how important it is that families be concerned about health. Preventive care, nutrition, exercise, and other factors play important roles. And especially for children, good health is essential—for them, now is the time when growth happens, some diseases may begin, and health habits are set for life.

As the workforce becomes more diversified and employers struggle to cope with the demands of a rapidly changing marketplace, these arrangements are becoming more popular and more common.

This training covers regulations and best practices for employers that conduct business using fleet vehicles or rented vehicles or allow employees to use personal vehicles to conduct company business. This course also covers businesses that operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).

Today, we’re going to talk about the safe transportation of hazardous materials, which are also referred to as HAZMAT. The Department of Transportation, or DOT, says that most incidents involving the release of hazardous materials are the result of human error. This means that most incidents can be prevented if you know proper safety procedures and follow the requirements of the HAZMAT transportation regulations. The more you know about how to transport hazardous materials, the safer you’ll be personally and the safer the shipments you’re involved with will be, as well.

The federal hazardous materials, or hazmat, transportation regulations were developed to ensure the safe shipment of hazardous materials. Today, we’re going to talk about a very important aspect of safe hazmat transportation: packaging. Hazmat must be properly packaged so it doesn’t leak or create some other hazard during transportation. The U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, says that most incidents involving the release of hazardous materials are the result of human error, including improper packaging. Because you are involved in packaging hazmat, the more you know about how to package it for transport, the safer the shipments of hazmat you’re involved with will be.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements at 49 CFR 172.704 Subpart H are designed to enhance the security of hazardous materials transported in commerce. As part of these requirements, shippers and carriers of certain hazardous materials must develop and implement security plans. Also, all shippers and carriers of hazardous materials must ensure that their employee training programs include a component on security. This course covers Hazmat transportation security awareness training.

According to the American Society of Safety Engineers, every day in the United States there are approximately 800,000 shipments of hazardous materials (hazmat) transported by highway, rail, air, and vessels. The U.S. Department of Transportation, or DOT, requires each hazmat employee to be provided with the first and, in some situations, both of the following types of security training in order to protect people and the environment from hazmat releases:

• Security awareness training
• In-depth security training

The first, “security awareness training,” must provide an awareness of security risks associated with hazmat transportation and methods designed to enhance transportation security. This training must include a component covering how to recognize and respond to possible security threats. Described at 49 Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR,172.704(a)(4), this training is required for each hazmat employee and is covered by the Simplify Compliance TrainingToday® course “Hazmat Transportation Security Awareness.” “In-depth security training,” the second type of DOT security training, is described at 49 CFR 172.704(a)(5). This training is required if certain types and quantities of hazmat, as specified in 49 CFR 172.800, are transported in commerce. Offerors and transporters of this specific hazmat must have a “security plan” whose elements are outlined in the DOT regulations at 49 CFR 172.800 to 172.822. Employees must be trained on the elements of this security plan and its implementation. It must include company security objectives, organizational security structure, specific security procedures, specific security duties and responsibilities for each employee, and specific actions to be taken by each employee in the event of a security breach. The training session you are currently participating in is part of the in-depth security training.

As a commercial motor vehicle, or CMV, driver, you will be responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle. Your life, as well as the lives of everyone around you on the road are at stake. The federal hours-of-service, or HOS, rules were developed to reduce your likelihood of developing fatigue, being involved in fatigue-related crashes, and managing the health effects of driving long hours. Despite these measures, thousands of people are still injured and killed in CMV crashes each year. HOS rules place regulatory limits on when and how long you may drive, with the goal that these limits will help you stay awake and alert while driving. Today, we’ll review the requirements of the federal HOS rules and explain how they affect your job. These rules apply to interstate commerce, that is, transporting cargo or passengers across state lines.

Most incidents involving hazardous substances like infectious materials can be prevented if employees are trained in proper safety procedures and follow the requirements of the infectious materials transportation regulations. The more employees know about infectious materials transportation, the safer they will be personally and the safer the shipments will be as well. The main objective of this online infectious materials transportation safety course is to help teach employees the requirements of the infectious materials transportation regulations and the ways you can help prevent transportation incidents involving these hazardous materials.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, the arm of DOT responsible for regulating CMVs and their drivers, states that “driver error” is a primary cause of large-vehicle accidents. Driver error can include failure to look before taking an action, fatigue, external distractions, driving at unsafe speeds, or even eating and drinking behind the wheel. This training session will help you identify risky driving behaviors and highlight safe driving techniques to ensure that your actions are not the cause of an accident.

According to the National Safety Council, one in four motor vehicle accidents involves improper backing. This session discusses the causes of backing accidents and the safe driving practices that can help prevent such accidents.

Rear-end collisions are a very common type of vehicle accident. Every year, these accidents kill tens of thousands of people, injure hundreds of thousands more, and cause extensive and costly damage to vehicles. If you drive on the job, or even if you just commute by car, knowing the causes of and ways to prevent rear-end collisions can help to keep you safe. This session discusses the primary causes of rear-end vehicle collisions and details the safe driving practices that can prevent these incidents.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, the arm of the Department of Transportation, or DOT, responsible for regulating commercial motor vehicles, or CMVs, and their drivers, points to driver distraction as a contributing factor in 10 percent of accidents involving large trucks. If you drive a single or combination truck with a gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more or a passenger-carrying vehicle that carries 8 or more passengers (including the driver) for compensation or 15 or more passengers (including the driver) not for compensation, then this session is for you. This training will help you identify and avoid distracted driving behaviors to ensure that your actions are not the cause of an accident.

Federal law entitles all workers to a safe workplace. The definition of a workplace includes commercial motor vehicles, or CMVs. Not only must employers keep the workplace free of known health and safety hazards, but each employee also has the right to speak up about hazards without fear of retaliation. This training module is for workers who report or make a complaint about workplace hazards or unsafe conditions to learn about their rights for protection against retaliation from employers.

As much as you try to prevent them, accidents at work happen. Experts say that 11 workers die on the job every day in the United States— and an additional 5 million are injured over the course of a year. Those are staggering numbers, and we can do something about them.

As much as you try to prevent them, accidents at work happen. No matter what kind of accident you may be faced with at work, one of the most important things you can do after it happens is to investigate it and learn from the experience so it doesn’t happen again. This training session will cover everything you need to know about investigating accidents.

But just wearing a respirator is not enough. You need to know how to properly fit, use, inspect, and maintain your respirator to fully protect yourself from these respiratory hazards. If you don’t, these hazards can cause cancer, lung impairment, lung diseases, or even death.

Millions of workers wear respirators in workplaces across a wide variety of industries to protect against airborne contaminants and poor oxygen environments. But just wearing a respirator is not enough. Respirator users must know how to properly fit, use, inspect, and maintain their respirators to fully protect against respiratory hazards. This course will help you recognize respiratory hazards in your workplace and show you how to use and maintain respirators to keep yourself safe. By the end of the training, you will be able to identify common respiratory hazards and explain why respirators are necessary to protect against these hazards; describe how a respirator operates and recognize the capabilities and limitations of each type of respirator; safely wear and use your respirator; properly inspect, maintain, and store your respirator; recognize emergency situations and medical symptoms that limit the effective use of respirators; and summarize your employer’s obligations under the Respiratory Protection Standard. This course does not address the requirements for employees who voluntarily use respirators or for interior structural firefighters.

Whether you’re a supervisor, a safety manager, or other support staff, if you are tasked with performing respirator fit tests, it’s critical that you be properly trained to conduct OSHA-approved fit-test procedures. Respirators protect workers against insufficient oxygen environments, harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays, but to keep these harmful substances out, respirators must fit properly. OSHA requires fit testing before initial use and annually thereafter for all respirators that rely on a mask-to-face seal, and fit testing is the best way to make sure that the selected respirator properly fits the user’s face and provides maximum protection from airborne contaminants. While there are no specific training requirements for fit testers, there are specific procedures approved by OSHA that must be followed to ensure proper fit, and anyone performing fit tests should be trained on these procedures.

Working a shift outside the usual 8-hour day shift does have some benefits such as an easier commute, fewer crowds in stores and other public areas during the day, and sometimes, more days off in a row. But working a shift outside of the usual 8-hour day also has some drawbacks. You can be affected physically and psychologically. That’s because the human body functions on a programmed time clock that’s set for daytime activity and nighttime sleep. So when you work on some other schedule, it can have an impact on your sleep, diet, mood, family life, and alertness at work. Because of these effects, shiftworkers have to take extra precautions to keep alert and work safely. Today, we’re going to talk about how your body is affected by working shifts and what steps you can take to stay healthy and safe on the job regardless of the hours you work.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), exposure to respirable crystalline silica remains a serious threat to approximately 300,000 workers in over 75,000 U.S. general industry and maritime workplaces. OSHA estimates that over 100,000 of these workers are in high-exposure-risk jobs, such as operations using sand products, including glass manufacturing and sandblasting. Respirable crystalline silica, or silica, is a common mineral found in materials such as stone, artificial stone, and sand, and it has been classified as a human lung carcinogen. Additionally, breathing crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis, which in severe cases can be disabling, or even fatal. The respirable silica dust enters the lungs and causes the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing the lungs’ ability to take in oxygen. There is no cure for silicosis. The OSHA respirable crystalline silica rule for general industry found at 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.1053 sets forth requirements to significantly reduce the amount of silica dust that workers can be exposed to in the workplace, including employee training.
