Learn MoreDid you know that work-related traumatic brain injuries account for 20-25% of work-related trauma? Head injuries are common at work. In some cases, they can be quite minor, but in others, they can be very serious or even deadly.

Blocking and cribbing is a phrase that describes a variety of procedures used to stabilize heavy equipment, or large components of heavy equipment, during maintenance. Blocking refers to any of a number of methods for securing a machine, or part of a machine, while it is being worked on. Cribbing refers to the technique of stacking a group of uniform blocks to create a temporary, but sturdy, elevated structure capable of supporting a heavy load. This course describes equipment and guidelines for successful blocking and cribbing operations.
Many different types of jobs require people to work shifts outside of “normal” daytime hours – convenience store clerks, hospital emergency room staff, law enforcement personnel, and firefighters, to name a few. Evening and night shift work can be challenging as it disrupts the body’s regular sleep/wake schedule. This leads to fatigue, stress, and lack of concentration, and increases the risk of operator error, injuries, and accidents.
This course describes some of the common hazards of night shift work and ways to deal with them. Specifically, it discusses sleep deprivation symptoms and prevention, nighttime weather and lighting needs, and best practices for working outside and operating mobile equipment at night.
