Crane Safety – Hand Signals

Cranes are designed to carry material all over large warehouses and factory floors, making them a valuable time-saving tool. Controlling the crane from one spot makes it difficult to see what the load is doing at all times, though. Most crane operators usually have riggers directing their load, and most will stay in contact via two-way radios or other electronic means, but crane operators and riggers need to have a system of hand signals in case the electronic systems break down. Designed for crane operators and riggers, this module will teach employees the standard OSHA-recommended hand signals. This module covers the same information regarding hand signals that is covered in our Crane Safety course. It has been provided as a stand-alone module for learners who only need this portion of the training. This course is presented in English and Spanish.

Hurricane Safety: Hurricane Risk Areas

Hurricanes and tropical storms are disruptive, dangerous events that can wreak havoc on entire regions. These storms can bring torrential rain, flooding, high winds and even tornadoes when they make landfall or move along the coast. They can also uproot trees, bring down power lines, damage or destroy buildings and infrastructure, and cause significant loss of life. Even a well-funded cleanup effort can take months or years. Fortunately, meteorologists can track hurricanes and forecast their expected path, giving the public several days to prepare before landfall. However, people have a much better chance of protecting themselves and their property if they have evacuation plans and supplies ready before a hurricane becomes a threat to their area. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to recognize preparations to take in hurricane risk areas. This microlearning course covers a small part of a broader topic.

NORM Awareness: Characteristics and Effects

Most of us are exposed to low levels of natural and man-made radiation every day. On an oil and gas site, workers can be exposed to higher levels of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). NORM can build up in pipelines and on equipment, and high concentrations can pose a significant health hazard when they aren’t properly managed. NORM can be enhanced by human activity such as oil and gas extraction. This type of NORM is known as technologically enhanced NORM (TENORM), and can increase workers’ potential for exposure. Fortunately, most workers are in little danger when they take the right precautions.

Working from Heights – Canada

Falls from even as little as one metre can cause serious injury, or even death, and are one of the leading causes of injury and death in the workplace. In Canada, provinces and territories set their own regulations, but this course is based on Ontario’s standards as well as best practices. Fall protection is generally grouped into two categories: passive or active fall protection. Passive fall protection methods include guardrails and netting. If it is not enough, active fall protection is required. This course will provide an overview of active fall protection systems. It is primarily for employees who work at heights in Canada.
