Asbestos Awareness Certification Training. Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring minerals, OSHA requires anyone working around asbestos to have awareness training. Asbestos has been used in products such as insulation, floor tiles, building materials, vehicle brakes, and clutches. Asbestos is well recognized as a health hazard and its use is now highly regulated by both OSHA and EPA. Asbestos Training is important to your health. Every employee's exposure to asbestos contributes to the risk of getting an asbestos-related disease.

Hazard Communication Training Components of the HCP include training, chemical labeling and inventories, safety data sheets, hazard assessments, and exposure controls. The chemical manufacturer develops the UCSB Hazard Communication Program Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to provide information concerning the safe use of the product. They inform workers and emergency personnel about physical properties (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid measures, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. SDSs are required by law to be readily available for every hazardous chemical at each worksite, along with an up-to-date chemical inventory. 

Before an employee or a supervisor uses a ladder, they shall be provided training in the safe use of ladders unless the employer can demonstrate that they are already trained in ladder safety. We also have this built into our fall protection Training.

The Basic SPYDERCRANE Operator’s Course (BSOC), which is a training and qualification Certification Training program.BSOC is a comprehensive training program that qualifies SPYDERCRANE Operators by testing their ability to accomplish over 100 discrete learning objectives and ending with a skills performance assessment that the student must pass to be identified as a Qualified SPYDERCRANE Operator. 

While not a federal requirement for crane operators, the BSOC is used in New York City as an alternative to the Hoisting Machine Operator’s License (a license that takes an average of three years to earn). Other municipalities throughout the country are drafting similar regulations to allow the BSOC to be used in lieu of the more conventional crane operator’s license. More importantly, when a student completes the BSOC, you can be assured that his, or her, competence and ability to safely operate the SPYDERCRANE has been properly tested and vetted. In the end, of course, it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to ensure that your people are competent to operate the SPYDERCRANE; BSOC is the practical means of assessing and measuring that competence.
