Accident Prevention and Safety Housekeeping program demonstrates to employees how to prevent workplace accidents by paying attention to safety housekeeping considerations. Good safety housekeeping can significantly reduce accidents and injuries in any type of work environment. By developing good safety habits, and by being aware of their work environment and any hazards associated with it, employees can help to create a much safer workplace. The Program includes information on safety awareness, handling rubbish and excess materials, keeping aisles and stairways clean, using ropes and electrical cords, dealing with hazardous chemicals, tool maintenance, proper tool storage, and more. Automated External Defibrillation Program covers the appropriate use and techniques for patients of all ages. The Program covers why AED’s are so important and a general history of the AED. It also covers recognition of signs and symptoms of a Cardiac Emergency and calling for EMS. Post Resuscitation Care and the role of a Medical Director or approved Physician. The Program includes hands-on practice and skills testing with manikin and AED Trainer. Back Safety Program emphasizes the importance of overall back care, both at work and at home, including exercises and weight control. For many employees, back injuries are something that “happens to someone else….not me”. Yet four out of five people will experience some type of back problems during their lives. And many back injuries are caused by common activities experienced both on and off the job… such as lifting, climbing, reaching, etc. The Program includes information on how the back works, common types and causes of back injuries, effects of back injuries, injury prevention and safety practices, proper lifting techniques, basic back exercises, and more. Bloodbourne Pathogens Program is updated to include the latest medical language and guidelines… has been specifically created to assist facilities in fulfilling the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard’s (29 CFR Part 1910.1030) training requirements. Bloodborne diseases are a serious concern in the United States. “Hepatitis B” infects over 70,000 people annually, and has over one million “carriers” in the U.S. The HIV virus, which usually leads to AIDS, currently infects over one million people. Because of the increasing problems with these diseases, in 1991 OSHA passed a “Bloodborne Pathogens” regulation. The Program includes information on the contents of the standard, epidemiology and symptoms of bloodborne diseases, modes by which bloodborne diseases are transmitted, the exposure control plan, recognition of exposure procedures, sigh and labels, selection and use of personal protective equipment, and more. Adult, Child, and Infant Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training program covers appropriate rescue techniques for patients of all ages as well as critical background information about heart disease, risk factors, prudent heart living, and heart and lung function. Students learn the signs and symptoms of heart attack, stroke, and choking emergencies, as well as the most current medical responses available to bystanders. UPDATED 2005 STANDARDS! Driving Safety Program provides the information employees need to drive cars, vans and small trucks safely, both on and off the job. Most employees travel the roads every day… in cars, vans or trucks… many of them on company business. Each year, traffic accidents claim over 30,000 lives and cause more that a million serious injuries. In fact, motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death on the job. The Program includes information on inspecting the vehicle, adjusting seats, mirrors and other equipment, wearing seatbelts, mental preparation and concentration, creating a “safety cushion” around your vehicle, passing another vehicle, driving at night, adverse weather conditions, skidding and hydroplaning, what to do in case of an accident, and more. Fall Protection Program provides the information employees need to work safely when they are “off the ground”, and satisfies the major training requirements in the OSHA Standard on Fall Protection. Falls are the second leading cause of death each year in the United States (after traffic accidents)! Over 10,000 people are killed every year as a result of falls… and 200,000 to 300,000 people are disabled. Eighty-five percent of all falls that occur on the job result in “lost work time”. The Program includes information on the seriousness of fall hazards, types of environments where falls may occur, the “fall protection plan”, concentration and keeping a clear head, the importance of housekeeping in preventing falls, measures that can be taken to protect against falls, protective equipment and more. Fire Prevention and Safety Program looks at what causes workplace fires and what can be done to prevent them. It reviews steps that can be taken to help prevent fires, as well as what employees should do in case of a fire emergency. Among all the safety problems an employee can encounter, fire can be the most frightening. Every year workplace fires cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and result in numerous employee injuries, many of which are fatal. Yet many employees do not realize how their own work practices can contribute to the risk of fire. The Program includes information on the common causes of workplace fires, importance of “good housekeeping”, other fire prevention measures, various types of fire extinguishers, using fire extinguishers, evacuation and other employee responsibilities. First Aid Program teaches employees that knowing basic first aid can often limit the severity of any type of injury, or even prevent a death. In most facilities, not a day goes by without some type of injury occurring. It can be as serious as a chemical burn, or as minor as a small cut. But any injury can be painful and affect an employee’s work performance… as well as their life off the job. The Program includes information on cuts and bleeding, muscle pulls and sprains, burns, broken bones, shock, and more. Heat Stress Program reviews how heat affects the body, the steps that employees can take to prevent Heat Stress, and elementary first aid that can be given to a worker who has been affected by a heat-related illness. Each year thousands of employees suffer the adverse effects of Heat Stress. Whether at work outdoors under the hot summer sun or indoors with equipment and machinery that give off high levels of heat, these employees need to know how to recognize and prevent Heat Stress and other heat related problems. The Program includes information on situations leading to heat-related illnesses, heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, how the body reacts to heat, recognizing the symptoms of heat stress, and preventing heat related illnesses, first aid for heat emergencies, and more. Office Ergonomics Program addresses how to recognize ergonomic problems, the potential of adverse effects, and practical solutions employees can use to help deal with ergonomic problems in the office. Every job makes a different set of demands on the body. Today the issue of how this impacts employees and what can be done to reduce or eliminate adverse effects is receiving a lot of attention. While there is much debate about many aspects of ergonomics, everyone agrees on one thing… that is by using proper ergonomic techniques, employees can be safer and more productive as well as feel better at the end of the day. The Program includes information on physiology of the body, parts of the body most affected, eye strain, pragmatic preventative measures, correct use of office equipment, exercises and stress release, and more. Also available: Industrial Ergonomics and Laboratory Ergonomics. Office Safety Program teaches employees what hazards exist in office environments, and how important it is to use good safety practices as they go about their work. Office employees frequently have that feeling that since they don’t work “out on the plant floor” safety isn’t important in their jobs. Yet accidents and injuries in the office account for thousands of hours of lost time, and millions of dollars in Worker’s Compensation and medical costs. Safety Orientation Program addresses two of the most prominent safety issues confronting employers today, that of developing a good “safety attitude” in their employees…as well as providing “introductory safety training”. Thinking about safety should be as natural as thinking about other aspects of the job. Employees need to anticipate the possibility of accidents before they happen. Workplace accidents cause millions of people to suffer painful injuries every year, and cost business almost $90 billion per year in medical bills, lost wages and lost production time. The Program includes information on developing “safety awareness”, basics of accident prevention, hazard evaluation, safety housekeeping, tool use and maintenance, use of personal protective equipment, and more. Slips, Trips & Falls Program teaches employees the situation that can lead to slips, trips & falls, and what they can do to avoid or prevent these accidents. Most employees don’t give much thought to the prospect of slipping, tripping or even falling on the job. Many of these injuries can be disabling… or even fatal. The Program includes information on why slips, trips and falls occur, common causes of accidents, potential health effects of resulting injuries, techniques used to avoid injury, the importance of safety shoes, safe use of ladders and similar equipment, and more. Winter Safety Program teaches employees how to plan ahead, look for potential hazards and avoid dangerous situations that occur during the winter holiday season. Over the years employers have discovered that their employees miss more time from work as a result of “off-the-job” accidents than due to injuries experienced on the job. Many of these accidents occur during the winter holidays, as employees do things they are not familiar with or haven’t done “since last year”. Fortunately, most of these accidents can be prevented. The Program includes information on Christmas tree selection/transportation/erection, using “string lights”, safe use of extension cords and outlets, fires, fire places and chimneys, using candles, fire extinguishers and fire escapes, dressing for cold weather, working in the cold, walking and driving in ice and snow, and more. Workplace Stress Program helps employees identify potentially stressful situations and learn how to cope with them. In the fast-paced world we live in, we are always encountering situations that can be stressful. Many of these occur at work. Yet stress, and its effects on our ability to do our jobs, is a subject that is often overlooked. The Program includes information on situations causing stress, positive versus negative stress, recognizing symptoms of stress, effects of stress on the mind and body, eliminating “stress factors”, stress-relieving exercises, and more. All Programs may include: Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates. | Return Home | What's New | Events Schedule | Course Descriptions | Contact Us | Links | Which Kit is right for me? | Catalog | Professional Affiliations | |
