Overview

This is the course for companies needing to formally train operators to use aerial work platforms (scissor and boom lifts). This is the right option if you have new operators and want to ensure they have proper training according to the OSHA standards. If you have existing operators and are unsure of the quality/content of their past training, if you are missing their documentation or if they were certified through a prior employer, this would also be the right option for training. The course includes classroom instruction, written testing and hands-on evaluations for each type of aerial work platform they will be using. We are experts at working around busy schedules and will find a day and time that works for your facility. We show operators why they should work safely and the consequences of what can happen to their health and families if the rules are not followed. The pre-training survey, classroom instruction, hands-on evaluations and all OSHA required follow up paperwork are included in the cost of your training.

Overview

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has published new rules governing the design, use, and training of users this year. ANSI published a new standard -ANSI A92.24: Training Requirements for Operators of MEWPs - designed to consolidate all the training requirements from various types of equipment into one standard. These new requirements will become effective in December of this year.

The new standards place greater responsibility on the equipment user/owner regardless of whether they are a large maintenance operation or a small business that rents a scissor lift, boom lift, etc. for seasonal work.

Training has some new requirements under this standard: First, training is required for each class of MEWP classification. This means that operators must be provided specific instructions to occupants so they can work safely in an MEWP, including how to use fall protection and the location of fall protection anchors and teaching them how their actions can affect stability.

New training is also required of Supervisors. The standard now requires supervisors of MEWP operators shall receive supervisor training. This shall include:

1. proper MEWP selection,
2. user and operator requirements,
3. how to identify known hazards and the means to manage risk, and
4. how to follow the requirements of the operator’s manual.

This is the course for companies needing to formally train supervisors of aerial work platform operators (scissor and boom lifts). The course includes classroom instruction and written testing.

Overview

Based on NFPA 51B and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart Q regarding welding, cutting, brazing, and other hot work, this course is intended to help workers recognize the potential hazards of hot work and avoid injuries and property damage by properly planning, preparing for, and performing hot work.

You might have a single portable welding unit to do an occasional spot welding task, or you may have large electric welders to use in daily production. Whenever welding, cutting, or brazing occurs, everyone involved in the operation must take precautions to prevent fires, explosions, or personal injuries from exposure to toxic fumes. Even in routine metal cutting or repair jobs, workers should always follow established safety procedures and resist the temptation to take shortcuts.

Duration/Length

1 Hour

Target Audience

All employees who perform welding, cutting, brazing or other hot work activities or those who serve as the fire watch.

Overview

It is impossible to ignore the violent incidents occurring in today’s world. Still, your chances of being involved in an active shooter situation are slim; unfortunately, armed intruders and active shooter incidents are occurring with greater frequency every year.   Workplace violence ranks as one of the top causes of death each year in the US Department of Labor statistics.

For this reason, it is critical that your employees receive training on how to rapidly respond to an armed intruder or active shooter incident in the workplace.

This seminar will cover realistic strategies for employees to deal with an armed intruder. Whether your company has implemented Run-Hide-Fight, Lockdown, Evacuation or other crisis action protocols, it is critical that your company comprehends how to place as many ‘roadblocks’ as possible between your employees and the intruder/shooter to increase your chances of surviving an active shooter event.

This session will help your team prepare in several ways: First, it will increase the amount of ‘tools’ for employees by exploring tested and proven methods to increase survivability in these incidents. By increasing employee knowledge, you prepare team members to rapidly respond in an incident and decrease panic and in-action. Second, we will explore scenarios specific to your workplace and deal with realistic and practical actions that apply to your specific surroundings. Employees will take away increased day-to-day awareness, response tactics and mental preparation.

Overview

Safety is not something management does to or for employees. Management commitment to safety is necessary, but true safety excellence requires engagement from personnel throughout the organization, especially the hourly employees. Such engagement in safety benefits the employees as well as the organization. In fact, studies recognize that by focusing organizational effort to cultivate a culture of involvement and participation, zero injuries is achievable. However, safety must become a cooperative process where everyone participates to make the workplace safer. Every worker has something meaningful to contribute, and people will contribute if the climate is right.
