Self-Guided Virtual Training Courses

Client Visit Safety
Employees working in the Human Services and Home Healthcare industries provide a variety of services aimed at improving the lives of the clients or patients they interact with daily. Some of these services are provided during off-site visits, though the type of assistance offered can vary greatly by organization and client population.  This course will provide some tips to help keep you, your coworkers and clients free from injury during off-site professional visits to a client or patient.

Kitchen Safety
For those that work in food preparation, understanding the unique hazards that are present during daily activities in the kitchen can be crucial when it comes to injury prevention in the workplace. During this course, we go over how to identify some of the more common hazards and injuries that occur in the kitchen as well as how to prevent them. 

Ladder Safety
Ladders are an essential tool used every day by many employees in a variety of environments. Falls from ladders can cause significant injuries and many of these accidents can be prevented by following just a few basic steps. During this training we highlight the importance of selecting the right ladder for the job, conducting ladder inspections and proper ladder handling techniques.

Lockout/Tagout
The unexpected release of energy while servicing or maintaining machines and equipment can cause serious, even catastrophic injuries. OSHA’s lockout/tagout standard, known as the Control of Hazardous Energy, is designed to protect employees from these types of injuries. This training will take a look at lockout/tagout devices, authorized vs. affected employees, types of energy sources and steps for a successful lockout/tagout. 

OSHA Recordkeeping: Requirements & Best Practices
Whether you are in a Federal OSHA state, or a state that runs its own Occupational Safety and Health plan, the same recordkeeping requirements apply. Every state must meet or exceed the federal guidelines regarding this topic. In this training, we will address OSHA’s specific recordkeeping requirements as they pertain to the OSHA 300, 300-A, and 301.

Slips, Trips & Falls
In the United States, approximately 25,000 slips, trips and falls occur every day resulting in injuries that could otherwise be avoided. Despite the fact that slips, trips and falls are 100% preventable, they account for 15% of all workplace accidents and are the second leading cause of workplace injuries. During this course, we discuss the benefits of Hazard Identification and Good Housekeeping and cover some personal best practices you can maintain to prevent a slip, trip or fall while working. 

Transitional Duty Programs
In the event of a work-related injury, a successful Transitional Duty Program can help minimize claims costs, reduce negative impact to your experience modification factor and allow an injured worker to transition back to work. This module will provide you with a better understanding of Transitional Duty Program implementation & the importance of minimizing claims costs which can directly impact insurance premiums.
