15 Passenger Van Safety

A 15-passenger van behaves much differently from a passenger car. Most people do not know that 15-passenger vans are more likely to roll over than any other type of vehicle. Understanding and using safe van-driving techniques will drastically reduce the risk that you or your passengers will suffer injury or even death. After taking this course, you will; understand the differences between driving a 15-passenger van and driving a car, describe effective driving preparation strategies, select safe and appropriate van driving techniques and identify procedures to safely conclude your trip.

The Advanced Safety Orientation for Construction Industry program is a series of safety courses that target hazards and precautions common to construction sites and construction-related work activities. This program is ideal for newly hired construction workers who need a solid foundation in hazard recognition skills.

The Advanced Safety Orientation for Managers and Supervisors in Construction program is ideal for all construction workers, including project managers and superintendents. While this program contains some of the same courses included in other advanced orientation programs, the program for managers/supervisors features safety management information and an even wider range of topics.

Aerial lifts are frequently used to perform work in areas that cannot be accessed from the ground or from solid construction. When working with an aerial lift, an awareness of hazards is a must. Each year, workers die or are seriously injured when using aerial lifts. This course will introduce common hazards associated with aerial lifts and will discuss safe work practices that you should always follow.

Rigging is a process used to secure materials to be moved by cranes, hoists or other lifting equipment. There are many factors to consider when applying slings and chains to secure a load. The knowledge of riggers is crucial to incident-free execution of lifts. Improper rigging can lead to dropped loads and catastrophic failure of lifting equipment, which can cost lives.

People are injured or killed every year as a result of improperly entering or working in a confined space. Potential hazards in every confined space include explosions, toxins, and oxygen-deficient atmospheres. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports an average of 20 people a year die from confined space hazards. More than half of the fatality victims are would-be rescuers. You may encounter confined spaces in virtually any occupation; therefore, you need to be able to recognize confined spaces and understand their hazards. This training will provide that knowledge.

If one of your co-workers passed out in a confined space, would you go in to rescue him? Can you be sure the air in the space is safe? This training will help you understand the risks associated with confined spaces and the procedures your employer has in place to protect you and those around you. Don’t take this information lightly – it can make the difference between life and death! Ideal learners: anyone who works in or around confined spaces on construction sites

This concise mini-module addresses the core elements that workers need to understand to conduct their aerial lift operations in a safe manner. Employers can use this course to ingrain fundamental terms and employee responsibilities. This course is an excellent tool for organizations who want to bolster or supplement their current Aerial Lifts training program.
