Topics covered in this course include identifying common asbestos materials and their health effects, selecting and properly using equipment and personal protective equipment, containing and/or removing asbestos materials, proper clean-up and housekeeping procedures and glove bag procedures (hands-on).

Confined Space
Course covers safety rules and regulations governing work in confined spaces. Topics include an overview of equipment utilized, detailed discussion of potential dangers and important safety procedures applicable to working in confined spaces

Electrical
Overview of the OSHA Standard Electricity is accepted as a source of power without much thought to the hazards encountered. Some employees work with electricity directly. This is the case with engineers, electricians, electronic technicians and power line workers. Others, such as office workers and salespeople, work with it indirectly. OSHA’s electrical standards address this serious workplace hazard which exposes employees to such dangers as electric shock, electrocution, fires, and explosions. The objective of the standards is to minimize the potential hazards by specifying design characteristics of safety in use of electrical equipment and systems.

Exit Routes, Emergency Action Plans, Fire Prevention Plans and Fire Protection
Overview of the OSHA Standard 
Subpart E, Exit Routes, Emergency Action Plans, and Fire Prevention Plans, contains requirements essential to providing a safe means of escape from fire and similar emergencies. This subpart deals with the need to have a safe and efficient means of leaving a building or facility under emergency circumstances, with minimal problems finding and using it. Subpart L, Fire Protection, contains requirements for fire brigades, and all portable and fixed fire suppression equipment, fire detection systems, and fire or employee alarm systems installed to meet the fire protection requirements of 29 CFR Part 1910.

Fall Protection 
Overview
The OSHA standard identifies areas or activities where fall protection is needed. It clarifies what an employer must do to provide fall protection for employees, such as identifying and evaluating fall hazards and providing training. Under the standard, employers are able to select fall protection measures compatible with the type of work being performed. OSHA places its rules for fall protection in several different subparts in the construction standards, depending primarily on the nature of the work. The standard covers most construction workers, except those inspecting, investigating, or assessing workplace conditions prior to the actual start of work or after all work has been completed.

Hazard Communication
Overview of the OSHA Standard
The basic goal of a Hazard Communication Program is to ensure employers and employees know about work hazards and how to protect themselves. This should help to reduce the incidence of chemical source illness and injuries. Chemicals pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation, sensitization and carcinogenicity) and physical hazards (such as flammability, corrosion and reactivity). This standard is designed to ensure that information about these hazards and associated protective measures is disseminated to workers and employers. This is accomplished by requiring chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import and providing information about them through labels on shipped containers and more detailed information sheets called material data safety sheets or MSDSs. All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must prepare and implement a written hazard communication program. They must also ensure that all containers are labeled, employees are provided access to MSDSs, and an effective training program is conducted for all potentially exposed employees. The standard provides workers the right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to in the workplace. When workers have this information, they can effectively participate in their employers’ protective programs and take steps to protect themselves. In addition, the standard gives employers the information they need to design and implement an effective protective program for employees potentially exposed to hazardous chemicals.

HAZWOPER

• 40-Hour HAZWOPER
  General site workers engaged in hazardous substances removal or other activities that expose or potentially expose workers to hazardous substances and health hazards are required to receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction of the site and a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor. (29 CFR 1910.120)
• 24-Hour HAZWOPER Course is designed for persons who respond to a hazardous materials incident for the purpose of stopping, containing, controlling and cleaning up the release. This level of training is also appropriate for persons performing limited tasks at an uncontrolled hazardous waste site and who are unlikely to be exposed above permissible exposure limits.
• First Responder
  Designed for those who may witness a release, this is an introductory course designed to help ensure those who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous material release and initiate an emergency response by notifying the proper personnel or authorities. This training will familiarize personnel with what hazardous materials are and associated risks.
• HAZWOPER Refresher
  This 8-hour annual refresher is for individuals who have successfully completed the 24- and 40-hour courses to maintain their certification.
