OSHA requires Inorganic arsenic training whenever employees are exposed to arsenic at or above the action level. The action level is defined by OSHA as one half of the permissible exposure limit (PEL). This course will explain the possible health effects related to Inorganic arsenic and how to reduce and/or eliminate the exposures that can lead to these health effects.

There are many jobs that employees are dying to get, but there are none worth dying for. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that more than 5.6 million workers in health care and related occupations such as nurses, custodians, maintenance staff and research personnel are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. In addition to the obvious risk to the health care community, many other occupations also encounter potential exposures to bloodborne pathogens: teachers, custodians, sanitation workers, or any concerned coworker in any job offering help to another sick or hurt team member. If your job duties include even occasional contact with blood or other infectious materials, you need to know how to effectively protect yourself against potential bloodborne pathogens, because understanding simple precautions can greatly minimize your chances of contracting a bloodborne disease.

Flammable and combustible liquids present a significant danger in the workplace. That’s why agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulate workplaces that use flammable and combustible liquids. This course will outline the risks associated with flammable and combustible liquids and provide safety precautions for working with them and storing them safely.

Each year, many workers are hurt or killed as a result of falls in the workplace. Falls are usually complex events that involve a variety of factors. For that reason, OSHA's fall protection standard deals with both human- and equipment-related issues for protecting workers from fall hazards. This training will cover systems and procedures designed to prevent falls off, onto or through working levels and to protect workers from being struck by falling objects.
