FRG Corporation training

Upon completion of this module, the participant will be able to define the purpose, scope, and applicability of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and their responsibility in DOT regulatory compliance. Also covered are the Hazardous Materials Regulations, training requirements for employees and employers, a review of the nine hazard classes and liability for non-compliance.

During this course, students will learn what asbestos is, the common types and uses of asbestos, and operations that may result in exposure. The health implications of asbestos exposure are covered in detail, including the relationship between asbestos and smoking to lung cancer. Students will become familiar with current regulations and exposure limits, medical surveillance requirements, and PPE and respiratory protection requirements. Asbestos Awareness Training is required annually for employees that may be exposed to asbestos in the work environment.

This course will provide employees with information and training on hazardous materials in their work area. This training will cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) as well as protective measures and specific procedures the employer has implemented for employee safety. Employees will be trained in the employers hazard communication program, use of and layout of new Safety Data Sheets, appropriate work practices, emergency procedures, and personal protective equipment to be used. New Pictograms and Hazard labeling systems (DOT, NFPA, ETC.) and information resources will also be reviewed.

This course focuses on OSHA standards and the safety aspects of excavation and trenching. Students review practical soil mechanics and their relationship to the stability of shored and un-shored slopes and walls of excavations. Various types of shoring (wood timbers and hydraulic) are covered. Students will review procedures necessary to safely work around excavations on the job. This includes how to cross trenches, proper entry and exit from excavations, exposure to vehicles, exposure to falling loads, warning systems, and emergency response.

This course is intended to familiarize students with regulatory requirements for the installation and use of fixed and portable ladders. Students will review the minimum requirements for the construction, care, and use of common types of ladders in order to insure safety under normal conditions of usage. Type I, II and III will be covered as well as their inspection and maintenance. Design considerations such as rung specifications, cleats, pitch as well as fastenings, load requirements and design stresses will also be covered.

HAZWOPER applies to five distinct groups of employers and employees: Clean-up operations.. Corrective actions involving cleanup operations. Voluntary cleanup operations recognized as uncontrolled waste sites. Operations involving hazardous wastes. Emergency response operations.

Based on NFPA 70E, this course reviews electrical fundamentals and safety “best practices” and is designed to provide awareness and an overview of the requirements for employees and employers necessary to maintain a safe work environment by observing electrical safety during routine electrical procedures. Students will also review energy control procedures, energized electrical work permits, the purpose of a Hazard/Risk analysis and the effects of an arc blast. In addition, this course reviews electrical safety “best practices” based on NFPA 70E, and why the use of correct PPE appropriate for the job and observing electrical safety procedures are essential during routine electrical procedures. In addition, this course not only provides a detailed description of NFPA 70E content, but it also includes a review of the electrical fundamentals and principles that are required to fully understand the regulatory requirements.

This course covers the use, maintenance, sanitation and general work practices for personal protective equipment, including equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers. Students will become familiar with when protective equipment may be required by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. An overview of the hazard assessment provided by the employer identifying workplace hazards will also be covered, if available.
