Work zones are typically marked by a combination of signs, channeling devices, pavement markings, and/or work vehicles. Because they are often adjacent to active roadways, work zone workers are exposed to significant risks. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians traveling through and around work zones also face significant risks.
Roadways and work activities differ, and weather, traffic volumes, and local environments also vary, so a “one size fits all” approach to work zone safety is not appropriate. However, there are policies, procedures, and guidelines which do apply. These are all covered in this module.
Electricity is an essential element of the workplace. It provides light, heat, motive power and communications, but it is also dangerous. The need to constantly maintain, repair and upgrade electrical equipment means that employees will sometimes be in close vicinity to electricity and therefore exposed to some risk. This interactive online course covers the dangers of an arc flash and the effects of different current flows on the body. It describes the importance of a lockout tagout program and the goal of the NFPA 70E standard.
This is a two-part course which covers the 2020 NEC Changes. Part One covers the changes in Articles 242 and 250 of the National Electrical Code®.

Article 310 covers conductors rated 2,000V and less. New Article 311 covers conductors rated more than 2,000V. Article 312 covers cabinets, cutout boxes, and meter socket enclosures. Article 314 covers outlet, device, pull, and junction boxes; conduit bodies; fittings; and handhole enclosures. Notable changes include clarifying which fittings may be concealed, harmonizing building code and electrical code rules for stair enclosures, a complete rewrite of Article 310, a new article 311, specific rules for cable trays and enclosures used together, and major changes for boxes in the ceilings of dwelling units.
This is a two-part course which covers the 2020 NEC Changes. Part One covers the changes in the Chapter 3 wiring method articles of the NEC, namely Articles 320 through 392 (AC cable through cable trays). Notable changes include new rules for cables in thermal insulation, a new article (337) for Type P cable, clarifying the different types of service entrance cables, clarifying the rules for stainless steel raceways and fittings, and addressing cable trays that utilize flanged openings.
Part Two of this course covers the changes in Articles 404, 406, 408, and 410 of the National Electrical Code®. Articles 404 and 406 contain the requirements for switches and receptacles. Article 408 covers panelboards, switchboards, and switchgear. Article 410 covers luminaires, lampholders, and lamps. Notable changes include updating the rules for switches, including listing requirements, new prohibited locations for receptacles, expansion of tamper-resistant receptacle requirements, new marking requirements for panelboards, switchboards, and switchgear, and addressing the unique needs of horticultural lighting.

Welcome to this 2-hour interactive online course that is the first of a two-part series which introduces you to many workplace situations that require you to work safely with electricity. You’ll learn how and why electricity can be dangerous. You’ll also learn about various methods used for protection. Safety begins with the careful installation of electrical components by means of approved wiring methods. You should use safety procedures and practices that insulate you from electricity’s power anytime you work with or near electrical equipment or components. Specifically, Part 1 looks at:
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) provides the framework to manage hazardous waste from cradle to grave. Waste generators are responsible for determining if a waste is hazardous by following the hazard identification steps outlined by RCRA. This course describes these hazard identification steps and how to determine if something is a hazardous waste.
The purpose of the EPA’s SPCC rule is to prevent oil contamination of navigable waters and adjoining shorelines. Facilities which store or handle large quantities of oil are required to create an SPCC plan whose purpose is to prevent, control, and deal with oil discharges. One way these facilities can unintentionally discharge oil to waterways is with runoff. To prevent this, they can prevent run-on from reaching equipment with the potential for oil discharges, and also prevent oil-containing runoff from leaving the facility. This course describes the containment measures that can be used to accomplish these goals.
Lasers have become an integral part of society. They are used in everything from fiber optic communication systems to surgical procedures to barcode scanners and laser levels. The practical applications of lasers are almost unlimited.
This course describes laser light, how lasers work, and different types of lasers. It explains the different laser classifications, describes engineering and administrative controls used on and around lasers and lists laser hazards and safety guidelines.
This 2-hour online course focuses on one of the important life safety protection features-adequate means of egress-in the context of two of the leading codes used in the U.S. today: the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®) Life Safety Code, and the International Code Council (ICC) International Fire Code. There is a test at the end of this course.
