Course Descriptions

Asbestos Awareness
Construction trades routinely renovate and demolish buildings that were built prior to 1981. These construction activities often result in contact with asbestos-containing materials. General Industries are also subject to Asbestos rules and regulations.  Asbestos Awareness Training is required annually for employees whose work activities may contact asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACM), but do not disturb ACM or PACM during their work activities.  Lead is found both in industry and in construction, and poses a threat to all who come into contact with it. This combined training consists of information regarding Asbestos and Lead and their various forms and uses. Training also includes information on the health effects associated with Asbestos and/or Lead exposure.

Blueprint for a Safety and Health Management System
The attendee will learn that a direct relationship exists between effective management and lower workplace injury and illness rates.  This class uses continuous improvement tools and methodology to effect increased worker protection, lower costs, enhanced productivity and improved employee morale.  Attendees will learn that a high level of employee involvement leads to continuous improvement of the Safety and Health Management System.  When effort and accountability are focused proactively, costly reactive activities can be eliminated.

Electricity: The Invisible Killer
Electrocutions are one of the leading causes of fatalities in construction nationally.  In Michigan (2003) they were the number one cause of construction fatalities.  This program will explain and illustrate safety practices the electrical industry itself uses before performing work on energized overhead lines.  Emphasized will be the importance of recognizing and eliminating hazards to avoid the possibility of any contact with energized circuits.  Covered in the program: standards that apply to energized line clearances; what constitutes fatal amount of current; how to determine voltages and when overhead lines need to be de-energized.

Ergonomic Principles
This program gives direction to employers who want to establish an ergonomic program. Using the NIOSH Ergonomic Primer as a guide, participants will be able to look for signs of cumulative trauma, develop in-house expertise, gather evidence of ergonomic problems, identify controls and implement a proactive ergonomic program.  Examples of potential problem jobs are discussed and corrective recommendations are reviewed. Focus is on the implementation of engineering controls, including material handling, hand tools and workstations. Using ergonomic risk analysis as a tool to identify the tasks and subtasks of a job is emphasized. Ergonomic awards offered by the MIOSHA program will be explained.
