AMERICAN EHS's "Accidental
Release Measures and Spill Cleanup Procedures" HAZWOPER
Compliance Training Program discusses the plans and procedures
necessary to safely contain and cleanup a hazardous materials spill.
Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and
can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so
important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially
dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them
properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances
receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste
"from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have
followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As
part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee
training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement
with hazardous materials. Areas covered in the program include the
hazard communication program, the emergency response plan, the five
levels of HAZWOPER emergency response training, personal protective
equipment, site characterization, spill cleanup, decontamination
procedures, and more The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee
Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.... and is
approximately two hours of classroom training.

AMERICAN EHS's "The
ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet" Program
has been specifically created to educate employees about the
ANSI MSDS format. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI),
working with the Chemical Manufacturer's Association (CMA), has
developed the first standard format for Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS). While this new MSDS format is not required under the OSHA
Hazard Communication Standard, OSHA is encouraging its use. Perhaps as
important, most of the large chemical manufacturers in the United
States appear to be adopting this MSDS format. The Program includes
information on the importance of the MSDS, the MSDS's role in the
hazard communication standard, advantages of the ANSI format, the four
basic questions the ANSI MSDS is designed to answer, review of the
sections in the ANSI material safety data sheet, and more. The Program
includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and
Employee Training Certificates.
*AMERICAN EHS's "The
ANSI Material Safety Data Sheet" HAZWOPER Compliance Training
Program educates employees about the ANSI MSDS format and reviews how
the information in an MSDS can help them work safely with potentially
hazardous chemicals. Hazardous materials and waste are part of many
work situations, and can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA
feels that it is so important for employees to know how to recognize
these potentially dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and

AMERICAN EHS's "Material
Safety Data Sheets in the Laboratory" Training Program
reviews the various sections of the MSDS, what information can be
found in each section and most importantly, how this information can
help employees to work safely in their laboratory. All potentially
hazardous materials entering a laboratory have a Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS). But to make good use of the information on an MSDS,
employees need to understand how it is organized and what it contains.
Areas covered in the program include the purpose of Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDSs), sections of the MSDS, information found in each
section, how MSDS information can help employees work safely, and
more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee
Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates. This Training Program is one

Asbestos
Awareness
~Available in the following

VIDEO, CD, INTRANET, SUPERVISOR / LEADER KIT, POSTER, INERNET / WEB
BASED
|
AMERICAN EHS's "Asbestos
Awareness" Program has been created specifically to educate
employees about the dangers of working with materials that may contain
Asbestos. In August of 1994, OSHA issued 29 CFR 1910.1101...
"Occupational Exposure to Asbestos." This regulation
requires that all employees who could come into contact with materials
that might contain Asbestos be given appropriate training on working
safely in these situations. Employees are divided into four classes.
Classes I - III are employees whose work involves
"installing" or "disturbing" materials that might
contain Asbestos. However, the largest group of employees covered by
this regulation fall into the Class IV group, which involves employees
that get involved in... "maintenance and custodial activities to
clean up waste and debris containing these type of materials."
Since many materials commonly used in buildings for many years
(including ceiling tiles, vinyl flooring, and wall and pipe
insulation) contain Asbestos, this means that the regulation applies
to virtually every custodial, janitorial and maintenance worker in the
country. The Program provides the majority of the information needed
to satisfy the training requirements for Class IV employees under the
OSHA regulation. The Program includes information on hazards of
asbestos, OSHA's asbestos standard, composition and nature of
asbestos, types of materials that may contain asbestos, and where they
are encountered, limiting exposure to asbestos, how to protect
yourself when disturbing a material that may contain asbestos, air
monitoring and decontamination, and more. The Program includes
Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee
Training Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS’s “Back Safety” Program emphasizes the importance of overall back
care, both at work and at home, including exercises and weight
control. For many employees, back injuries are something that
"happens to the other person... not to me." Yet four out of
five people will experience some type of back problems during their
lives. And many back injuries are caused by common activities
experienced both on and off the job... such as lifting, climbing,
reaching, etc. The Program includes information on how the back works,
common types and causes of back injuries, effects of back injuries,
injury prevention and safety practices, proper lifting techniques,
basic back exercises, and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video,
Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS’s "Bloodborne
Pathogens in Heavy Industry" Regulatory Compliance Program
... updated to incorporate the latest medial language and
guidelines... has been specifically created to assist facilities in
fulfilling the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard's (29 CFR Part
1910.1030) training requirements. Bloodborne diseases are a serious
concern in the United States. "Hepatitis B" infects over
70,000 people annually, and has over one million "carriers"
in the U.S. The HIV virus, which usually leads to AIDS, currently
infects over one million people. Because of the increasing problems
with these diseases, in 1991 OSHA passed a "Bloodborne
Pathogens" regulation. Materials in the Kit include a Program , a
Compliance Manual, five motivational Posters, and 30 Employee
Booklets. The Kit addresses the major areas needed to comply with the
Standard. A Compliance Manual containing a
"fill-in-the-blank" Exposure Control Program, as well as
other materials needed to help meet compliance requirements, is
included. The Posters in the Kit emphasize the importance of
preventative measures. The Videotape and Employee Booklets include
information on the contents of the standard, epidemiology and symptoms
of bloodborne diseases, modes by which bloodborne disease is
transmitted, the exposure control plan, recognition of exposure
situations, practices to prevent exposure, HBV vaccination, emergency
procedures, signs and labels, selection and use of personal protective

AMERICAN EHS's "Handling
Compressed Gas Cylinders in the Laboratory" Training Program
examines how gas cylinders "work", the hazards that are
associated with them and the need for caution when using or storing a
cylinder. The energy possessed by a compressed gas cylinder can make
it a virtual "missile" if it is not handled with the utmost
care. And a leaking cylinder or fitting can lead to asphyxiation, a
fire or even an explosion. Since compressed gas cylinders are
frequently used in many laboratories, employees need to be familiar
with the precautions that should be taken when dealing with them.
Areas covered in the program include the four ways to compress gases,
hazards associated with compressed gases, proper storage procedures,
marking and labeling, handling cylinders safely, connections and
fittings, leak detection, and more. The Program includes Lecture,

AMERICAN EHS's “Confined Space Entry Regulatory Retraining” Program gives
employees the information they need to refresh their knowledge of OSHA
regulations... as cost effectively as possible. The program reviews
highlights of the OSHA regulation and reminds employees of the
importance of compliance. All of OSHA's recent regulations not only
call for employees to receive initial training, but require that
employees knowledge be "refreshed"... through retraining...
on at least an annual basis. Since the detailed information that is
required by the regulations has normally been given to employees
during their initial training, retraining sessions can usually focus
on reminding employees that they should be paying attention to the
regulation in question... and heightening their "awareness"
about how the regulation affects their jobs. Areas covered in the
program include general information about the safety or health issue
the regulation addresses, the basics of the regulation itself, major
compliance requirements, safe work practices, personal protective
equipment, and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee
Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.

Crane
Safety
~Available in the following

|
AMERICAN EHS's "Crane
Safety" Program points out to employees that over 90% of
crane-related accidents are caused by human error... and that they are
the key to preventing these incidents. While there are many different
types of Cranes, they all have the ability to make many jobs much
easier by lifting enormous weight. But they also share the potential
for disaster when they are not operated safely. Crane-related
accidents can often be deadly, due to the cumbersome and heavy loads
that are lifted. A small miscalculation, or a brief moment of
inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls, not much can
be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely
out of the way. A coworker could be injured or killed, and expensive
equipment or materials could be damaged or destroyed... even the crane
itself. The Program includes information on physical and mental
preparation, equipment inspection, hazard assessment, boom cranes, jib
cranes, overhead cranes, general and operational safety devices, crane
operations, hand signals, and more. The Program includes Lecture,
Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training
Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS's "Handling
Hazardous Materials" Training Program instructs employees how
to work safely with the chemicals that they encounter in their jobs.
Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and
can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so
important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially
dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them
properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances
receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste
"from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have
followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As
part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee
training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement
with hazardous materials. Areas in the program include physical
hazards, flammables and combustibles, explosives and oxidizers,
corrosives and irritants, toxic substances and carcinogens, acute and
chronic health effects, container labels and MSDS’s, emergency

AMERICAN EHS's "Safe
Handling of Laboratory Glassware" Training Program discusses
the nature of various types of glassware, and the problems it can
cause... as well as the need for employees to use and maintain
laboratory glassware safely. Broken glassware causes more laboratory
accidents than any other hazard. Because it is so fragile, glassware
can easily fracture if it is bumped, dropped or too much pressure is
applied to it. Some
glassware accidents don't require much more than a band-aid, while
others can result in a lot of blood and the need for medical
attention. And the threat of contamination from the materials in a
broken container can also be a serious problem. Areas covered in the
program include Inspecting glassware before use, effects of extreme
temperatures and pressures, matching glassware to the experiment,
working with glass tubing, using personal protective equipment,
storage and handling, washing and cleanup, and more. The Program

Ergonomics" Program addresses how to recognize ergonomic
problems, the potential of adverse effects, and practical solutions
employees can use to help deal with ergonomic problems in the office.
Every job makes a different set of demands on the body. Today the
issue of how this impacts employees, and what can be done to reduce or
eliminate adverse effects is receiving a lot of attention. While there
is much debate about many aspects of ergonomics, everyone agrees on
one thing... that is by using proper ergonomic techniques, employees
can be safer and more productive as well as feel better at the end of
the day. The Program includes information on physiology of the body,
parts of the body most affected, eye strain, pragmatic preventative
measures, correct use of office equipment, exercises and stress
release, and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee
Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.
(California training includes information on the Cal/OSHA Standard)

AMERICAN EHS's "Office
Safety" Program teaches employees what hazards exist in
office environments, and how important it is to use good safety
practices as they go about their work. Office employees frequently
have the feeling that since they don't work "out on a plant
floor" safety isn't important in their jobs. Yet accidents and
injuries in the office account for thousands of hours of lost time,
and millions of dollars in Workers' Compensation and medical costs.
The Program includes information on safety awareness, proper lifting,
safety housekeeping, slips, trips & falls, electrical safety, and
more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee
Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS's "Personal
Protective Equipment" Program teaches employees how easily
injuries can occur and how to select appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment for their jobs... and meets the training requirements for
OSHA's Standard for Personal Protective Equipment. Government surveys
show that the most common cause of workplace injuries today is due to
employees not using Personal Protective Equipment as they work.
Virtually everyone will experience one or more "on the
job" injuries during their working life. In most cases
appropriate equipment is readily available, yet employees do not
recognize the need for this equipment, or take the time to use it. The
Program includes information on areas of the body needing protection,
available protective equipment, equipment variations, how to properly
use PPE, matching equipment to the hazard, the limitations of various
PPE, the proper use of PPE, and more. The Program includes Lecture,
Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training
Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS's "Personal
Protective Equipment" HAZWOPER Compliance Program
instructs employees on the selection and use of personal
protective equipment (such as chemical protective clothing and
respirators) in environments where hazardous materials are present.
Hazardous materials and waste are part of many work situations, and
can be found on many types of job sites. OSHA feels that it is so
important for employees to know how to recognize these potentially
dangerous substances (as well as how to handle and dispose of them
properly) they have mandated that anyone working with these substances
receive comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste
"from cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have
followed, including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As
part of these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee
training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement
with hazardous materials. The Program
includes information on the roles of Personal Protective
Equipment, Level A Personal Protective Equipment, Level B Personal
Protective Equipment, Level C Personal Protective Equipment, Level D
Personal Protective Equipment, PPE and Heat Stress, and more. The
Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and

AMERICAN EHS's "Preventing
Contamination in the Laboratory" Training Program emphasizes
the need to recognize situations that could led to contamination, and
discusses what can be done to prevent contamination from occurring.
Handling hazardous chemicals and specimens requires a great deal of
caution. If substances are not properly controlled, hazards can spread
and contaminate other materials, work area... even employees
themselves. With many laboratories using toxic, corrosive and
carcinogenic chemicals, employees need to do all they can to prevent
contamination. Areas covered in the program include how contamination
occurs, general preventative measures, engineering controls, safe work
practices, personal protective equipment, and more. The Program
includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts, Employee Quiz, and
Employee Training Certificates. This Training Program is one of 12 in
the “Elements of Safety” Laboratory Safety Training Series.

AMERICAN EHS's "Respiratory
Safety" Program points out to employees why it is important
that they learn to recognize... and guard against... respiratory
hazards. Both OSHA and NIOSH have recently issued changes to their
Respiratory Protection Training Requirements. This revised and updated
program includes those changes... such as new fit testing protocols
and cleaning/disinfecting procedures... as well as shows examples of
the new "N" class respirator and other respirators being
used in a variety of settings. One of the problems with many
respiratory hazards (such as fumes or gases) is that employees can not
easily "see" them. Even more visible hazards, such as dusts,
are often accepted as part of a "normal" work environment.
As a result, many respiratory problems only become clearly evident
well after the original exposure. Yet once they occur, most
respiratory problems are "chronic" and long lasting. The
Program includes information on the physiology of the human
respiratory system, how the respiratory system functions, common
causes of respiratory problems, potential effects of hazards,
respiratory safety practices, the use of respiratory safety equipment,
and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee Handouts,
Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS's "Rigging
Safety" Program points out to employees that over 90 percent
of rigging-related accidents are caused by human error... and that
they are the key to preventing these incidents. We have all heard the
phrase... "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link".
When it comes to crane operations, Rigging can often be that
"weak link". How a load is attached to a crane can make the
difference between a successful lift and an unfortunate accident. And
Rigging-related accidents can often be deadly, due to the large and
heavy loads that are lifted. A small miscalculation, or a brief moment
of inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls not much
can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move
safely out of the way. A coworker can be injured or killed, and
expensive equipment and cargo could be damaged or destroyed... even
the crane itself. The Program includes information on physical and
mental preparation, personal protective equipment, equipment
inspection, hazard assessment, slings and hitches, hand signals, load
angles, and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee
Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.

AMERICAN EHS's “Right-To-Know Regulatory Retraining” Program gives employees the
information they need to refresh their knowledge of OSHA
regulations... as cost effectively as possible. The program reviews
highlights of the OSHA regulation and reminds employees of the
importance of compliance. All of OSHA's recent regulations not only
call for employees to receive initial training, but require that
employees knowledge be "refreshed"... through retraining...
on at least an annual basis. Since the detailed information that is
required by the regulations has normally been given to employees
during their initial training, retraining sessions can usually focus
on reminding employees that they should be paying attention to the
regulation in question... and heightening their "awareness"
about how the regulation affects their jobs. Areas covered in the
program include general information about the safety or health issues
the regulation addresses, the basics of the regulation itself, major
compliance requirements, safe work practices, personal protective
equipment, and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee

AMERICAN EHS's "Safety
Audits" Program informs employees about the goals of a Safety
Audit, and how all workers should become involved. A single workplace
accident can be devastating. Someone can be injured... or even killed.
Property, equipment or materials can be damaged or destroyed. And work
could come to a complete standstill. All of these things can happen if
efforts are not made to protect employees. One way to accomplish this
is to conduct a Safety Audit. This is an examination of the work area
to make sure it is as safe as possible and all potential hazards are
corrected or removed. The Program includes information on a workplace
analysis, administrative controls, engineering controls, personal
protective equipment, emergency response procedures, regulatory
compliance and safety/health training, accident investigation, a
safety self-assessment, and more. The Program comes with a

safety issues confronting employers today, that of developing a good
"safety attitude" in their employees...as well as providing
"introductory safety training". Thinking about safety should
be as natural as thinking about other aspects of the job. Employees
need to anticipate the possibility of accidents before they happen.
Workplace accidents cause millions of people to suffer painful
injuries every year, and cost business almost $90 billion per year in
medical bills, lost wages and lost production time. The Program and
includes information on developing "safety awareness",
basics of accident prevention, hazard evaluation, safety housekeeping,

employees and "seasoned veterans" the importance of safety
in the laboratory... as well as reviews the OSHA regulations and good
safety practices that apply to laboratory environments. A laboratory
can be a dangerous place, and with the daily pressures to get things
done employees can be tempted to take shortcuts and ignore safety
precautions. And with the increasing complexity of the equipment and
procedures involved in experiments, employees need an even greater
knowledge of safety practices and procedures than they may have had in
the past. Areas covered in the program include OSHA regulations,
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), planning safe experiments,
personal protective equipment, ventilation controls, chemical storage,
accidents and emergencies, waste disposal, and more. The Program

AMERICAN EHS's "Understanding
HAZWOPER" Training Program is designed to explain the
regulations and to help employees begin to reduce or eliminate
potential exposure to hazardous materials in their work environments.
Hazardous materials and Waste are part of many work situations, and
can be found on many types of job sites. It is so important that
employees know how to recognize these potentially dangerous
substances, as well as how to handle and dispose of them properly,
that OSHA mandates that anyone working with these substances receive
comprehensive training in this area. In 1976, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) to regulate the handling of hazardous waste "from
cradle to grave". Since then other regulations have followed,
including OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER. As part of
these regulations, there are varying requirements for employee
training, depending on an employee's specific level of involvement
with hazardous materials. Areas covered in the program include history
of the HAZWOPER regulations, definitions of hazardous chemicals and
waste, container labels, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), the site
safety and health plan, HAZWOPER training requirements, the site
control program, monitoring of hazardous substances, the medical
surveillance program, decontamination, and more. The Training Program

AMERICAN EHS's "Winter
Safety" Program teaches employees how to plan ahead, look for
potential hazards and avoid dangerous situations that occur during the
winter holiday season. Over the years employers have discovered that
their employees miss more time from work as a result of
"off-the-job" accidents than due to injuries experienced on
the job. Many of these accidents occur during the Winter holidays, as
employees do things that they are not familiar with or haven't done
"since last year". Fortunately, most of these accidents can
be prevented. The Program includes information on Christmas tree
selection/ transportation/erection, using "string lights",
safe use of extension cords and outlets, fires, fireplaces and
chimneys, using candles, fire extinguishers and fire escapes, dressing
for cold weather, working in the cold, walking and driving in ice and
snow, and more. The Program includes Lecture, Video, Employee
Handouts, Employee Quiz, and Employee Training Certificates.
