| Hazard Communication for Employers: 01. Creating an Effective Program |
04:16 |
Creating a hazard communication program can seem intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Here, we'll walk you through, step by step, how to develop a plan that is clear, comprehensive, and most importantly, effective. |
| Hazard Communication for Employers: 02. Labeling |
06:30 |
You should never judge a book by its cover. But you should always judge a chemical by its label. We all depend on labels for our safety. For that reason, we need to ensure that labels are at all times accurate and compliant. Join us as we review label standards, use, and exceptions, so you can be certain that you're doing your part. |
| Hazard Communication for Employers: 03. SDS |
06:37 |
Safety data sheets (SDSs) are there to help. But they can't help if they're outdated or inaccessible. This course goes over OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard on SDSs, and what's required of us, as employers. This includes a list of the 16 sections, as well as the responsibilities on collecting, storing, and maintaining these very important documents. |
| Hazard Communication for Employers: 04. Training Requirements |
05:56 |
Do your people know what they should when it comes to hazardous materials? If not, do they have access to the proper training? This course helps you figure these things out. We go through the training requirements according to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, as well as training methods and documentation. |
| Hazard Communication for Employees: 01. Introduction to Hazard Communication |
03:44 |
I don't always handle toxic chemicals, but when I do, I like to know about the hazards. I'm betting you feel the same way. So is your employer doing their job in communicating hazards to you? Let's find out in this course, which takes you through the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, employer responsibilities, training, and the reporting of noncompliance. |
| Hazard Communication for Employees: 02. Understanding Labels and Pictograms |
06:38 |
When dealing with chemicals, there is no room for confusion. You need to know what you're dealing with, and how to deal with it. That is where labels and pictograms come in, and we'll explore them in this course. We'll go through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for labels, and the separate elements. We'll also go through pictograms and what each of them mean, helping you be best prepared when time is of the essence. |
| Hazard Communication for Employees: 03. SDS |
05:19 |
Where do you go if the label doesn't give you what you need to know? To the Safety Data Sheet! In this course, we'll go through the sections of the SDS, as well as the protocols, procedures, and rights surrounding them. |
| Forklift Best Practices: Physical Conditions |
03:46 |
Your number one priority on the job, whether you’re an employee or a manager, should be safety. In this course, we’re going to talk about the various physical condition risks you may face while driving a forklift, and how to handle them. Physical conditions refer to the surface or ground conditions in your workplace. Potential hazards are typically divided into the following areas: slippery conditions, obstructions and uneven surfaces, and floor loading limits. We’re going to go over the recommended ways to stay safe when you run into these hazards at work. |
| Forklift Best Practices: Travel Practices |
03:24 |
Your number one priority on the job, whether you’re an employee or a manager, should be safety. In this course, we’re going to cover safe travel practices. When you don’t follow this type of safety protocol when operating a forklift, potential hazards include overturning the forklift, falling loads, being struck or crushed by the forklift, and collisions. |
| Forklift Best Practices: Pedestrian Traffic Concerns |
02:39 |
Your number one priority on the job, whether you’re an employee or a manager, should be safety. In this course, we’re going to talk about pedestrian traffic concerns. These are things like knowing who has the right of way, when it’s necessary to notify or warn pedestrians and how to do so, and using a spotter. We’ll also discuss OSHA, or Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s, special considerations for managers when it comes to pedestrian traffic. This includes particular safety precautions and requirements. |
| Forklift Best Practices: Ramps and Grades |
02:01 |
Your number one priority on the job, whether you’re an employee or a manager, should be safety. In this course, we’re going to talk about ramps and grades. Tipover risk is increased on ramps and grades, so you need to follow the best practices that we’re going to cover in order to stay safe. This includes turning, traveling with and without a load, when to use a spotter, and working with pallet trucks. |
| Forklift Best Practices: Tipovers and Loading Docks |
01:42 |
Your number one priority on the job, whether you’re an employee or a manager, should be safety. In this course, we’re going to talk about tipovers, as well as the dangers of loading docks. We’ll discuss the different types of tipovers and what to do if this happens to you, depending on the type of forklift you’re using. We’ll also go over what to do if you’re working on or near loading docks. |
| Forklift Best Practices: Narrow Aisles and Enclosed and Hazardous Areas |
04:53 |

| Forklift Safety: Introduction to Forklifts for Employees |
11:21 |
Forklifts can be an incredible tool for workers, but they’re also a tremendous safety hazard. Knowing the fronts, backs, ins and outs, upside downs and right side ups of forklifts is vital to doing your job effectively and, most importantly, safely. In this course, you’ll be introduced to some forklift basics, including the types of forklifts, the power sources they use, and their parts. |
| Forklift Safety: Forklift Operations for Employees: Pre-Operation |
05:53 |
There are three main stages of operation. Those stages are: Pre-Operation, Traveling and Maneuvering, and Load Handling. Right now we’re going to start with the first stage: Pre-Operation. What you do before you operate a forklift is perhaps the most important part of the process. This is where you have the chance to identify anything that would make the forklift unsafe and to ensure the forklift isn’t defective or in need of repair. If it is, it needs to be removed from service immediately, you’ll need to document the problems, and report them to your supervisor. Let’s go over what the inspection entails. |
| Forklift Safety: Forklift Operations for Employees: Traveling and Maneuvering |
06:26 |
Operating a forklift is a big responsibility. If you don’t follow safety guidelines and instructions, you could do major damage to the machinery, merchandise or, even worse, to yourself or fellow employees. Now that we’re in the work phase of our operations class, let’s go over some of the main traveling and maneuvering actions, as well as, their hazards and recommended practices. We’ll cover mounting and dismounting, starting and stopping, operating at speed, steering, turning and changing direction, traveling on inclines, and parking. |
| Forklift Operations for Employees: Load Handling |
06:08 |
Operating a forklift is a big responsibility. If you don’t follow safety guidelines and instructions, you could do major damage to the machinery, merchandise or, even worse, to yourself or fellow employees. The third stage of operating a forklift is load handling. There are eight steps for safe load handling, all of which have their own safe operating rules, and we’ll go through each one in this course: 1. Safe handling preparation 2. Approaching 3. Mast position 4. Fork position 5. Lifting the load 6. Lowering the load 7. High tiering and 8. Loading and unloading trailers. |
| Robbery Safety |
02:58 |
Your safety is our number one priority. Hopefully you will make it through your careers and even your entire lives without being robbed! But it is something that we should think about. A lot can go wrong if you either aren't prepared for, or if you aren't smart about a robbery situation during and after it occurs. |
| Box Cutter Safety |
05:01 |
It’s no secret: box cutters are sharp. They cut things. If you need to open a box, or cut strings or plastic, they’re great. However, there are obvious safety risks associated with using sharp tools, like, cutting oneself. Or even accidentally cutting others. In this course, we’ll talk about the proper way to handle a box cutter or utility knife. We’ll also discuss some things you shouldn’t do with these tools, and go over some good maintenance techniques including how to clean and store them. |
| Asbestos Safety 101 |
06:12 |
You’ve probably been warned to exercise extreme caution when working in close proximity to asbestos. But in order to fully appreciate why it’s important to do so, you need to understand exactly what asbestos is and how it can affect your health. You should also know what training you need to stay safe. In this program, we’ll talk all things asbestos. We’ll go over where asbestos is found and asbestos-containing materials, or ACM. We’ll also cover the permissible exposure limit or PEL for asbestos. Lastly, we’ll talk about the four classes of asbestos work. |
| Hearing Conservation |
10:26 |
Besides hearing loss, noise exposure impacts your workplace - it interferes with communication, it can actually cause fatigue, can be irritating, and distracting. It can be a serious safety concern when loud noise interferes with emergency communication, reduced morale impacts efficiency. That's why hearing conservation is an important topic. |
| See Something, Say Something |
07:06 |
From cybercrime to human trafficking to workplace violence, we all know the catastrophic damage and pain these crimes can leave in their wake. Yet, many of these situations can be prevented if people speak up and report the unusual activity they witness. Suspicious activity can be many things. It can be subtle and seemingly inconsequential. It can be obvious and lead to disaster. In this course, we talk about certain things we should all pay attention to. For example, unauthorized visitors, body language, or out of place packages or vehicles. We’ll discuss signs of drug and alcohol abuse, indicators of human trafficking, and how to report these things when you see them. |
| Preparing for an OSHA Inspection |
09:26 |
For many businesses, one of the most daunting things you can face is a surprise inspection. And when that inspection is coming from the government’s safety organization, OSHA, it carries a lot of weight. After all, OSHA can issue citations and fines, and even shut down your operations. That’s a scary thought. Meanwhile, their inspections are unannounced, so they could happen at any time. But it doesn’t have to be so daunting. If you prepare properly for an OSHA inspection, you won’t feel so caught off-guard. In this program, we’ll discuss causes of inspections, what happens during OSHA inspections, and how you can be prepared for one ahead of time. |
| HAZWOPER Overview |
07:21 |
The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, or HAZWOPER, is a set of guidelines maintained by OSHA, which protects workers and enables them to handle hazardous substances safely and effectively. In this program, we’ll talk about the dangers of working with or around hazardous substances, discuss the five operations required by the HAZWOPER standard, and go over some general business applications. |
| Understanding Industrial Hygiene |
05:54 |
Industrial hygiene is the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards at work that may result in injury/illness or affect the wellbeing of workers. Industrial hygienists use strict scientific methodology and professional judgment when determining the potential for hazardous exposure risks in the workplace. Their goal is to prevent industrial disease, using the science of risk management, exposure assessment, and industrial safety. In this course, we’ll talk about what a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) is, and the categories of hazards they face. We’ll list the people a CIH works with to make their determinations, as well as discuss their process for handling hazards. |
| Indoor Air Quality for Managers |
08:37 |
The quality of the air in your workspace is more important than you might think. Indoor air quality, or IAQ, is the air quality within and around buildings and structures. It’s easy to overlook something as mundane as air quality, but breathing low-quality air throughout your workday can lead to many health problems over time. In this course, we’ll discuss those issues, and go over the benefits of having high-quality air in your workplace. We’ll also talk about how pollutants enter your building, and discuss solutions to improve your air quality. |
| Two-Wheeled Handcart |
07:13 |
A two-wheeled handcart is great to move a few boxes or a small piece of furniture. It seems simple enough to use, but if not done correctly, you risk injuring someone or damaging whatever it is you’re moving. In this program, we’ll go over a few key things you need to know when loading and moving the cart. |
| Heat Stress |
05:11 |
Some of us work in hot conditions, whether outdoors or indoors. Two things we need to be aware of and prevent when working in hot conditions are heat stress and, an even more serious version of this, heat stroke. In this course, we’ll walk through the symptoms of both conditions and discuss what happens to the body as your internal temperature rises. We’ll also go over how to respond when you or a coworker experience the warning signs of heat stress and heat stroke. |
| Cold Stress |
08:40 |
The weather is something that we all have to deal with, and it’s something we have no control over, whether it’s good or bad. Sometimes we have to work in very cold weather, or even cold indoor temperatures, which exposes us to potential stressors on our body. There are two major health conditions you need to be concerned about when working in the cold: hypothermia and frostbite. In this program, we’ll talk about each of these kinds of cold stress and injury and what you should do if you or a colleague experiences these conditions. |
| Working in Hot Weather |
04:50 |
When we work in hot weather or hot indoor conditions, our bodies become fatigued more quickly, and we increase our risk of accidents. The most serious issue caused by working in hot conditions is heat stress, leading to a possible heat stroke. But there are other risks and concerns to working in hot conditions. And they can apply to either outdoor work in hot weather OR indoor work in hot conditions, such as a warehouse without air conditioning, a foundry, or any number of warm interior spaces. In this course, we’ll talk about the hazards and go over ways to safely work in these places. |
| Working in Cold Weather |
06:19 |
Many work in cold weather environments, which can bring a range of health risks and hazardous conditions. In this course, we’ll talk about how low temperatures and windchill affect the body and what you can do to prevent injury while working in cold weather or cold indoor conditions. This includes using protective gear, making healthy choices, utilizing heat shelters, and more. |
| 01. Back Science |
04:32 |
If you’ve been lucky enough to go without a back injury, like a pinched nerve, torn ligament, or some other type of injury, you probably know of someone who has been laid up from back pain, right? It’s debilitating and can keep you in bed for long periods, away from work, and making several trips to the doctor. The goal is to prevent back injuries before they happen, so in this course, we’ll start by looking at the structure of the back and how it works. |
| 02. Proper Posture |
04:46 |
You’ve probably been told to “stand up straight” by a parent or grandparent as a kid. But how many of us actually do this when we’re adults? The natural tendency for many people is to slouch, to be “comfortable”, creating poor posture that ultimately contributes in the long term to back injuries. In this course, we’ll walk viewers through the steps to proper seated posture and standing posture. |
| 03. Lifting and Lowering |
03:55 |
I’m sure you’ve heard “lift with your legs, not your back.” But very few of us actually do that, or even know exactly what it means. Whether you’re in a labor job or an office job, we’ve all got to lift things from time to time. So, in this course, we’ll cover the basics of lifting and lowering properly. We’ll discuss checking the weight of the item and using proper foot, back, leg, and neck placement when lifting and lowering. |
| 01. What Is Situational Awareness? |
05:21 |
When you’re working with potentially dangerous equipment or in a hazardous environment, it’s crucial that you stay aware of your surroundings. If you’re not paying attention, you or someone else could end up in a dangerous situation, leading to accidents or injuries. Situational awareness is a skill that allows us to be persistently aware of our surroundings, so we can avoid accidents and injuries and make sure we get the job done right. In this course, we’ll discuss the basics of situational awareness and its three main components. We’ll also go over some common barriers that can interfere with situational awareness. |
| 02. Developing Situational Awareness |
04:42 |
Situational awareness is essential to being safe and successful at work. So, in this course, we’ll cover some actionable steps that can help you and your coworkers further develop your situational awareness capabilities. We’ll discuss actively observing your work environment, utilizing your senses, understanding safety guidelines, and practicing regular communication. |
| 03. Applying Situational Awareness |
04:33 |
Situational awareness involves perceiving, comprehending, and projecting the current situation and its potential outcomes. This is important because it helps you understand the hazards and risks associated with your work environment and how to avoid them. You must also develop situational awareness as a skill before you can effectively apply it. In this program, we’ll talk about how to employ situational awareness successfully. We’ll go over identifying hazards and properly communicating them. We’ll also discuss preventative measures and conflict resolution. |
| 01. What's a Toolbox Talk? |
03:47 |
Not all projects are simple or easy. It helps to have someone explain the details of what needs to happen before starting a project, and how to do it safely. So, in this program, we're going to cover a crucial aspect of working on-site: toolbox talks. These are meetings where important safety topics related to an upcoming job are discussed, designed to heighten employee awareness of workplace hazards and OSHA regulations. We’ll discuss why these meetings are important, how participants can benefit from them, and how to structure a toolbox talk if you need to lead one. |
| 02. Organizing an Effective Toolbox Talk |
04:02 |
Toolbox talks are meetings held prior to upcoming jobs, where important safety topics are discussed. They’re designed to heighten employee awareness of workplace hazards and OSHA regulations. In this program, we’ll talk about how to organize an effective toolbox talk to ensure everyone’s safety on a job.
