ONLINE HEARING CONSERVATION TRAINING

Posted on by

iWorkWise has developed this computer-based training to introduce workers to hearing conservation and the risk of hearing loss.

Exposure to loud noise damages the inner ear and can result in permanent hearing loss. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) twenty-two million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise at work each year. Although hearing loss is common, it is entirely preventable. This training module provides information on hearing conservation, how much noise is too much, how to protect from permanent hearing loss, and how to use hearing protection equipment.

Course length is approximately 15 minutes and results in a certificate of training.

Online Fall Protection Course

Posted on by

 

This online course is appropriate for the classroom portion of Fall Protection Authorized training. It is intended for people who will be exposed to fall hazards but will not select equipment, anchor points, or make decisions about what methods of fall protection should be used. The course explains the difference between the authorized person and the competent person, components of fall protection systems, the inspection process, and the safe use and maintenance of fall protection equipment. Essential fall protection concepts such as free fall distance, fall clearance distance, the hazards of using fall arrest equipment, and the need for rescue planning are also covered.

The first part of this course is Fall Protection Awareness, so there is no need to take that course separately.

This course is not competent person training.

iWorkWise developed this computer-based awareness level training to introduce workers to the dangers of hydrogen sulfide.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless gas with a strong odor of rotten eggs. It is extremely flammable and highly toxic. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) hydrogen sulfide is one of the leading causes of workplace gas inhalation deaths in the United States. At high levels, poisoning can be swift and deadly with little warning. All workers that could encounter hydrogen sulfide must be trained to recognize its hazards.
