This course meets OSHA HAZWOPER Standard 29 CFR 1910.120 for protecting workers, supervisors and managers at sites with likely exposure to hazardous substances or hazardous waste. HAZWOPER means Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response.   HAZWOPER training applies to employers and employees engaged in cleanup operations involving hazardous substances, voluntary cleanup operations for uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, operations involving hazardous waste that are conducted at treatment, storage and disposal facilities, and emergency response operations for release of, or substantial threats of releases of, hazardous substances regardless of the location of the hazard.

By the end of the training session, trainees will be able to understand your role as a first responder and the company’s emergency response plan; identify hazardous substances and know the risks associated with them if they are released or spilled; recognize a hazardous release or spill and potential outcomes; report the spill or release by calling for help, notifying others of the chemical spill or release, and helping coordinate an evacuation of the area; call for additional resources if needed; protect yourself and others by evacuating the area near the chemical spill or release; and secure the area in order to prevent untrained, unauthorized people from going near the spill location.

First Responders at the Operations level are trained to respond to hazardous materials emergencies in a defensive fashion. Their primary role is to contain the release from a safe distance, to keep it from spreading, and to prevent exposures to nearby persons, property or the environment.  OSHA requires FROs to be trained in accordance with section (q) of the HAZWOPER regulation. This class has also been referred to as Hazmat FRO, Level II Responder, First Responder Operations, or any combination of these terms.

During most emergency situations, the use of a scene management system has been shown to improve coordination between responders, reduce confusion and panic, and diminish negative impact to the organization.  Upon completion of Incident Command training, students will be able to identify positions within the ICS, describe roles and responsibilities of each ICS position, demonstrate how the ICS can be used in different types of emergency scenarios.

In the United States, more than 800,000 shipments containing hazardous materials are sent every single day.  To avoid putting workers and members of the public at risk of injury or even death, it is vital that they are packaged, transported and delivered safely and efficiently.  In this course you will learn how to safely handle hazardous materials, general safety awareness, how to prepare shipping papers, how to understand shipping papers, read labels and much more.

The OSHA Outreach Training Program provides training for workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces. The program also provides information regarding workers’ rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint.  Through this program, workers can attend 10-hour or 30-hour classes delivered by JLN OSHA-authorized trainers. The 10-hour class is intended to provide workers with awareness of common job-related safety and health hazards, while the 30-hour class is more appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility. Through this training, OSHA helps to ensure that workers are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and their rights, and contribute to our nation’s productivity.

Environmental training such as Asbestos Awareness, is for all employees who come into contact with Asbestos but do not disturb it. They must have the Two Hour Asbestos Awareness Training annually. This is almost all workers because over 3000 products are still in use, many not banned.  Lead Awareness Training is also required annually.  Lead classes are required under the Hazard Communication standard and OSHA standards. Employers are required to provide annual training to employees who encounter hazards in the workplace, including Lead, which is found in many common workplace products from keys to paint.

With the GHS Hazard Communication Training, you can synchronize with OSHA’s revised Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), which establishes a more consistent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information.

OSHA has aligned the new standard with the United Nations’ global versions of safety signs and symbols for chemical warning labels, the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) to improve safety. The system uses standardized safety stickers along with more consistent hazard symbols to better protect workers.

As part of the Hazard Communication Standard, all employers with hazardous chemicals in the workplace must train workers on the new chemical warning labels and how to interpret a safety data sheet, or SDS.

Safety is literally in your workers’ hands. They have to be expert handlers of powered hand tools, and they must know these devices inside and out. This safety program will thoroughly explain PPE, pre-use inspection, predicting dangers and housekeeping. It also details:

• • Avoiding dangers

• • Staying out of the way of tools

• • Proper use of PPE

• • Pre-use inspection of tools

• Good housekeeping.

The goal of this Fire Safety Course is to provide a knowledgeable understanding on the origins of fires, sources of fires, how to protect yourself, and how to prevent fires from occurring.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 3% of all workplace fatalities are a result of fires or explosions.  Fires can and do happen just about anywhere.  This Fire Safety Training course will give you a good understanding of fire safety, including an understanding of the variety of elements that can come together to make a fire, including static and electrical discharges, friction, vapor pressure, chain reactions, and flash points.  This is important because if you can understand the many different ways a fire or explosion can occur, and have the knowledge to mitigate these circumstances, this will go a long way in creating a safer work environment for you, and those around you.

The objectives of the safety assessment training are to identify hazards and events which could challenge the safety of the facility and the principal structures, systems, and components (PSSCs) needed to mitigate or prevent these events.

Many workers are injured and killed at the workplace every day in the United States. Safety and health can add value to your business, your job, and your life. You can help prevent workplace injuries and illnesses by looking at your workplace operations, establishing proper job procedures, and ensuring that all employees are trained properly. One of the best ways to determine and establish proper work procedures is to conduct a job hazard analysis. A job hazard analysis is one component of the larger commitment of a safety and health management system.

A respirator can’t protect you if it doesn’t fit your face. It’s that simple. Certain respirators, known as tight-fitting respirators, must form a tight seal with your face or neck to work properly. If your respirator doesn’t fit your face properly, contaminated air can leak into your respirator facepiece, and you could breathe in hazardous substances. So before you wear a tight-fitting respirator at work, your employer must be sure that your respirator fits you. Your employer does this by performing a fit test on you while you wear the same make, model, and size of respirator that you will be using on the job. That way, you know that your respirator fits you properly and can protect you, as long as you use it correctly.

A site specific plan should be based on the company’s types of hazards, its industry and its involved tasks, including but not limited to: emergency action, lock out/tag out, respirator, hearing conservation, HazCom, process safety management, personal protective equipment, blood borne pathogens, chemical hygiene, permit required confined space, and fall protection plans. Frequently, these plans are OSHA mandated in specific standards for the general, maritime and construction industries. Each standard delineates the contents and requirements for their specific plans.

Hearing conservation programs strive to prevent initial occupational hearing loss, preserve and protect remaining hearing, and equip workers with the knowledge and hearing protection devices necessary to safeguard themselves. Employers are required to measure noise levels; provide free annual hearing exams, hearing protection, and training; and conduct evaluations of the adequacy of the hearing protectors in use (unless changes made to tools, equipment, and schedules result in worker noise exposure levels that are less than the 85 dBA). Research indicates that workplaces with appropriate and effective hearing conservation programs have higher levels of worker productivity and a lower incidence of absenteeism.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required by OSHA to reduce employee exposure to hazards. Employers are required to determine if PPE should be used to protect their workers. Keep yourself and others safe by taking the Personal Protective Equipment Training.

OSHA’s new powered Industrial Truck Operator Training Standard (1910.178) imposes strict and detailed training requirements for forklift operators. The new standards require that anyone who operates a forklift, receive classroom and hands-on training, in addition to a performance evaluation every three years. Employees hired after December 1 1999, must have forklift training certification completed before they can operate any powered industrial truck.

Workers in health care and other facilities are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV – the virus that causes AIDS), the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the hepatitis C virus (HCV). OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, prescribes safeguards to protect workers against the health hazards from exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials, and to reduce their risk from this exposure. 

JLN Associates, hands on training allows companies to ensure they have delivered this important compliance information to all employees, no matter where they are located – and document each employee’s training. Your organization’s own Exposure Control Plan can also be inserted directly into each training.

A well-trained safety committee is a very valuable tool to help management provide a safe workplace for employees and improve the bottom line of any company, large or small.  A safety committee should be comprised of managers, supervisors, workers and union representatives. This committee should reflect a diverse cross-section of the work force. Employee participation is very important to this committee. Volunteers, rather than appointees, are more likely to be active and interested in fulfilling the mission of the safety committee.
