Active Fall Protection Systems (OLT)	Falls from even as little as four feet can cause serious injury or death to workers. OSHA defines two kinds of fall protection: passive fall protection, such as guardrails or netting, and active fall protection. When passive fall protection is not enough, active fall protection such as personal fall arrest systems, positioning systems, travel restraint systems and rope descent systems can help protect workers. Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to identify active fall protection systems and their characteristics. This course is designed for personnel who may need to use an active fall protection system in the course of their work duties. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
Active Shooter: Run/Hide/Fight (OLT)	Active shooter incidents have become a growing source of concern in recent years. By their nature these situations are unpredictable and chaotic, making it difficult for employers to prepare. Even though the odds of an active shooter event occurring in the workplace are low, fears about these situations can lower employee morale and create anxiety and uncertainty for your staff. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommend active shooter training for all employees to help counter these fears, and to reinforce a "whole community" approach to preventing and responding to workplace violence. Training helps employees feel prepared and empowered to respond quickly if an active shooter situation occurs on the job. This course is designed to help learners in any industry recognize recommended actions to take during an active shooter event, as well as common secondary concerns such as providing first aid for common injuries and communicating with emergency responders. This course focuses on the Run, Hide, Fight program for reacting to an active shooter situation. While Run, Hide, Fight is a good set of guidelines for active, healthy adults, it may not be suitable for all people in all situations. SafetySkills assumes no liability for any injuries or damage that could occur while attempting these techniques. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
AEMT National Continued Competency Program	This course is designed to meet the 50 hour requirement for continuing education required to recertify.
Aerial Lift Safety (OLT)	Aerial lifts are typically used to provide workers with access to a workspace that is temporarily inaccessible, usually due to height restraints. They are used in maintenance and construction work, but also by emergency rescue personnel. Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to identify the types of aerial lifts, their uses, and identify the hazards and safe work practices associated with aerial lifts. This course is intended for workers in general industry or construction who may need to work with or around aerial lifts and can help employers comply with OSHA regulations on aerial lifts. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
Asbestos Hazard Awareness (OLT)	Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral with excellent heat- and fire-resistant properties. Throughout the 20th century, asbestos was commonly used in building materials, pipe coatings, flooring, paint and texturing, and many other applications. Unfortunately, inhaling asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis, a chronic – and often fatal – lung disease. Fortunately, U.S. manufacturing began phasing out asbestos in the 1970s. However, there are still many buildings, homes and commercial facilities that contain Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACBMs). This course will give workers an overview of asbestos safety, including how asbestos exposure can happen, the negative health effects of asbestos exposure, and common safety practices they must follow to avoid exposure. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
Back Injury Prevention in the Retail Industry (OLT)	Back injuries are one of the most common workplace hazards that retail workers experience. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that back injuries make up nearly twenty percent of all workplace injuries and costs the nation an estimated twenty to fifty billion dollars a year. Learners who complete this course will demonstrate knowledge of the major causes of workplace back injuries and how to prevent them. Employees will learn about hazards and the three major types of hazard controls. This course provides ergonomic information to help employers comply with OSHA’s General Duty Clause. This course is designed for retail employees to help prevent back injuries.
Backroom and Stocking Safety in the Retail Industry (OLT)	Working in the retail industry is generally seen as a very safe occupation with a low risk of injury. The truth is, however, that work-related injuries and illnesses are very common among retail workers. In fact, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health the retail and wholesale industry has the second-highest rate of nonfatal injuries and illnesses of any industry sector. Musculoskeletal disorders, falls, cuts, and injuries from accidents involving vehicles and machinery are all too common in retail and grocery settings, particularly in the back room, stock room, or loading and unloading area. This course is designed to give the learner an overview of the hazards common to stocking duties and working in the backroom area of a retail or wholesale store. The course also provides techniques for safe lifting and safe stacking and moving of loads. This course is designed for all employees working in a retail or grocery environment. Employers may also be interested in the following related courses: Back Injury Prevention in the Retail Industry, Ladder Safety in the Retail Industry, and Backroom Safety for Supermarkets.
Basic Spanish for Safety Professionals	In this one-hour course, English-speakers will learn basic Spanish terms to use when communicating with Spanish-speaking employees. This will include basic words and phrases to build relationships with employees as well as one-line statements you can say to communicate safety protocols with employees.
Cold Stress for Upstream and Midstream Oil and Gas Operations (OLT)	When the body’s temperature drops below 98.6°F, the blood vessels constrict to keep the warm blood near the body’s core and vital organs to protect them. In doing this, the blood flow to the arms and legs decrease and those parts of the body become vulnerable to frostbite or hypothermia. This course will teach employees about the hazards of working in cold temperatures and how to minimize or eliminate those hazards. Employees will learn how to anticipate and identify the effects of cold stress and methods used to prevent it. This course is specifically designed for employees in upstream and midstream oil and gas operations who, as part of their regular work duties, will be subject to cold weather conditions for significant periods of time.
Cold Stress in the Workplace (OLT)	People who work outdoors or in cold indoor environments such as walk-in freezers are frequently subject to cold, wet working conditions. Working in wet or cold environments can take a heavy toll on workers’ bodies and be hazardous to their health. Workers who work in wet in cold or wet environments must be able to prepare to work in these conditions. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to identify factors that contribute to cold stress, recognize signs and symptoms of cold stress, and identify controls that can help prevent cold stress. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
Comprendes: Overcoming the Spanish Language Barriers in Safety	"Comprendes: Overcoming the Spanish Language Barriers in Safety" is a vital training program designed to bridge the communication gap in environments where safety is paramount and the workforce is linguistically diverse. This course targets safety officers, managers, team leaders, and employees providing them with the necessary skills to effectively communicate safety protocols, hazards, and compliance measures in both English and Spanish. The curriculum emphasizes the development of bilingual safety communication strategies, understanding cultural nuances, and the implementation of inclusive safety practices to ensure that all employees, regardless of their primary language, have equal access to safety information and training. Through a mix of interactive language lessons and real-world scenarios, participants will learn how to create a safer workplace by eliminating linguistic barriers and fostering a culture of mutual understanding and respect. The goal is to empower leaders to not just communicate but connect with their teams, thereby enhancing safety, compliance, and teamwork across language divides.
Confined Space and Engulfment Awareness for Oil and Gas Operations (OLT)	The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, commonly referred to as OSHA, requires employers to protect their workers from workplace hazards. On oil and gas sites, employees often work in confined spaces such as manholes, pipelines, storage tanks, and mud pits. When workers are not adequately trained, or are not following their training, these spaces can be especially hazardous. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to identify characteristics of confined spaces on oil and gas sites, recognize potential hazards in confined spaces, and recall assigned duties and responsibilities for confined space work. They should also be able to identify hazard controls for confined space work and recognize emergency procedures for confined space entry.
Confined Space Awareness (OLT)	Confined spaces are some of the most hazardous work environments. This course will teach employees the hazards and safety precautions associated with confined spaces, with a heavy emphasis on OSHA safety requirements. Employees will learn how to identify confined spaces, their hazards, methods used to control those hazards and the regulations regarding `permit-required' confined spaces. This course is intended for general industry employees who are required to work in or around areas defined by OSHA as confined spaces. This course is designed to help employers meet OSHA’s standards on permit-required confined spaces. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
