The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends Outreach Training as an orientation for workers employed in the construction industry. This OSHA-online 10-Hour Construction Industry Outreach Training program is designed for entry-level construction workers and will help individuals gain critical knowledge on a variety of OSHA-regulated safety and health topics. This course provides construction personnel and entry level workers an overview of the basic hazards that will be encountered on a construction site, how site safety is organized and implemented as well as which areas fall under the umbrella of OSHA’s jurisdiction. Students will gain a basic understanding of how regulations and OSHA safeguards operate to protect both workers and employers, and how they can benefit personally from a better understanding of OSHA standards.

The Design for Environment Course takes a life-cycle perspective of product based environmental requirements from the selection of materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, and final disposal. This module also provides a self-assessment system to review existing designs and design practices.

Hazardous materials (chemical products) are used in practically every workplace. The HazCom standard from OSHA  covers over 43 million workers who produce or handle hazardous chemicals in more than five million workplaces across the country. Some of these chemical products pose little danger to you, while others are deadly. Modern manufacturing would not be possible without chemicals. However, like machinery or electrical equipment, you must know how to use chemicals safely. The first step in using chemicals safely is to recognize those materials that may be hazardous to your health or physical safety.

The Hazardous Energy Control Training course describes the features and implementation of OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy standard (29 CFR 1910.147). The material is intended for all “affected workers” and provides the essential information for “authorized workers” to safely perform work on both electrical and non-electrical (moving/rotating, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, or thermal) energy sources.

This course covers how excessive noise in the workplace effects or even damages hearing, and what measures can be taken to reduce noise, or alternatively, what devices can be worn to protect one’s ears against excessive noise. Also discussed is the measurement and monitoring of noise, audiometric testing, and your company’s Hearing Conservation Program.

The Introduction to OSHA Course is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and how to locate published OSHA information. OSHA’s mission is to send every worker home whole and healthy every day. Since the agency was created in 1971, workplace fatalities have been cut in half and occupational injury and illness rates have declined 40 percent. At the same time, U.S. employment has nearly doubled from 56 million workers at 3.5 million work-sites to 105 million workers at nearly 6.9 million sites.
