Hazards of Asbestos
Asbestos is a substance that has been used for centuries. Its
heat-resistant properties make it almost indestructible; due to this
property, asbestos have been widely used in the construction
industry, especially for pipe and boiler insulation. Before 1973,
asbestos was sprayed onto different surfaces for fire
protection
purposes, but this practice was banned due to the hazardous nature
of asbestos. Furthermore, it is no longer used for insulating pipes
and boilers. However, asbestos can still be found in
many older buildings. Those who work in construction, repair,
demolition and renovations are at a greater risk of contracting
asbestos-related diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. There is no safe level for exposure to asbestos. This
course introduces the students to the hazards of asbestos in the
workplace and provides information about the measures that must be
taken in order to minimize the effects of exposure to asbestos.
Professional
Response to Trauma
Across
the United States, many workers experience death and suffering
routinely as a part of their jobs. Funeral directors, paramedics,
firefighters and other emergency responders are faced with traumatic
events while performing their duties. These workers are at an
increased risk for of developing traumatic stress. This can also
affect their ability to provide emergency response to others who
need their help. In this course, we will discuss what traumatic
events are, the normal responses to trauma, and how emergency
responders can manage their own response to traumatic events.
Ergonomics for Non-Office Workers
Employees who work in non-office environments are routinely required
to carry out tasks that involve movement and physical exertion.
These forceful exertions associated with such tasks may lead to
fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders, and other serious injuries. This
course is designed to help employees identify work-related problems
and learn to apply the principles of ergonomics in order to make
their jobs less physically demanding, thereby increasing their
overall efficiency.
Back to top
Personal Response to
Trauma
Every
day many people experience shock or grief as the result of tragedies
they may experience unexpectedly in their lives. As opposed to
events that may occur gradually and allow for a person to cope over
time, a traumatic event may happen without warning and give the
victim or those close to the victim n time to adjust to the
experience. Traumatic events could be dangerous if the victims are
not capable of managing them effectively. Trauma could also be the
cause of various mental and physical disorders, such as depression,
frustration, feeling of helplessness etc. This course gives you a
basic understanding of trauma, including trauma symptoms and
effects, and methods of coping with trauma.

at various industrial workplaces, how you can minimize your exposure
to them, different acute and chronic problems caused by beryllium
and cadmium, and what precautionary measures you should take in
order to avoid injuries and fatalities at beryllium and cadmium
exposed workplaces.
Use of Explosives in
the Workplace
Explosives
are used in many industrial operations, particularly in construction
and mining. If used properly and by experienced personnel the use of
explosives could be very beneficial. However, if explosives are used
by untrained users, there is a great potential for both fire and
unwanted explosions. The main objective of this course is to provide
fundamental information about explosives and how you can safely use
and secure them in operations related to construction. This course
will also enable you to identify and manage risks associated with
tasks involving explosives.
Back to top
Lead Safety in the
Workplace
Lead
is a very toxic substance. People who are exposed to lead or lead
compounds may become ill or even die due to lead poisoning. Usually,
our bodies remove lead from our systems at a slow rate; however,
inhaling even small doses of lead for a long period of time can
result in lead poisoning. Workers who are required to work at or
near sites that are contaminated with lead are at a greater risk of
lead poisoning. This course is designed for workers who work in
areas where the hazard of lead contamination exists. The course
focuses on the health risks associated with exposure to lead and how
workers can protect themselves against lead.
Ionizing and
Non-ionizing Radiation Safety
Personnel
working in areas where they could be exposed to radiation need to be
aware of the associated hazards and preventive or control measures.
This course covers information about radiation, kinds of radiation
found in workplaces, effects of radiation on human health, and the
preventive measures that could be adopted to control radiation in
the work areas. This course will be helpful for those who are
directly or indirectly involved with radiation in their workplaces.
Hazards of Asbestos
in the Workplace
Asbestos is a substance that has been used for centuries. Its
heat-resistant properties make it almost indestructible; due to this
property, asbestos have been widely used in the construction
industry, especially for pipe and boiler insulation. Before 1973,
asbestos was sprayed onto different surfaces for fire protection
purposes,
but this practice was banned due to the hazardous nature of
asbestos. Furthermore, it is no longer used for insulating pipes and
boilers. However, asbestos can still be found in many older
buildings. Those who work in construction, repair, demolition and
renovations are at a greater risk of contracting asbestos-related
diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. There is
no safe level for exposure to asbestos. This course introduces the
students to the hazards of asbestos in the workplace and provides
