Part one of this five-part course will introduce you to industrial laser safety including laser design, components, product and the role of a laser safety officer. -
Part two of this five-part course will cover industrial laser components from lasing medium to using a laser to pump another laser. -
Part three of this five-part course will cover industrial laser classification of industrial lasers. It will review the old and new classification systems. -
Part four of this five-part course will cover the safety aspect of industrial laser use including hazard factors, electrical hazards, eye hazards and more. -
The final part of this five-part course will cover laser hazard controls, information on the person in-charge and assessing hazards like when and how it's performed. -
The purpose of the NFPA standard 70E is to provide a standard for safety-related work practices for the construction, maintenance, operation and demolition of electrical systems in the workplace. This Overview covers awareness-level information for workers who have jobs or assignments that bring them into contact with electrical hazards, such as arc flash and electric shock. Completing this lesson does not designate an employee as an electrically-qualified worker -
This lesson provides information on the dangers of earthquakes in the workplace and the actions you should take to prepare in advance of a quake. It also teaches you what to do during and after a quake to reduce the risk of injury. -
This lesson discusses the issues and consequences of fatigue, complacency, and stress in the workplace and provides guidance on techniques employed to mitigate these issues and their effects on worker performance and safety. -
This lesson is designed to improve the safety of workers in environments where combustible dusts may be encountered by increasing employee awareness of this hazard and by demonstrating how the hazard can be recognized and addressed in the workplace. -
“Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. By reducing air pollution levels, countries can reduce the burden of disease from stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and both chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma.” The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 were passed to reduce pollution and establish standards for industrial air emissions. -
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “Hazardous waste is waste that is dangerous or potentially harmful to our health or the environment. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids, gases, or sludges. They can be discarded commercial products, like cleaning fluids or pesticides, or the by-products of manufacturing processes.” There is a growing awareness of the dangerous side effects of hazardous waste contamination. Years ago, many industrial plants discharged heavy metals and unstable organic compounds directly into streams or injected them into the earth’s subsurface through wells, causing illness in populations with close proximity to these toxic sites. This lesson teaches the industrial sources of land, air, and water pollution, the health dangers that environmental pollutants present, and the types of actions that industrial facility workers must complete in order to control industrial pollutants and respond to environmental incidents. -
In this course, you will learn the importance of indoor air quality and the consequences of contamination, origins of major air contaminants and their effects on your health, as well as controls to help maintain good indoor air quality.
