  • Accident InvestigationEvery day someone is injured on a job, becomes ill from a work related hazard or is fatally wounded while at work. Many times these situations are attributed to and called an unfortunate “accident”. The reality is most, if not all, workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths could be avoided by providing a true safety culture. While they may be unplanned and unwanted, accidents are generally not unavoidable. This training program will look at ways to avoid these so called “accidents” and help you create a safer and healthier workplace. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about Incident Investigation. The video is 13 minutes and addresses the major areas needed to comply with the standard, including: Accident or incident Reasons for investigating Root cause analysis Steps of the investigation Investigation kit Documentation Interviewing employees Determining root cause and corrections         The following are previews of the Incident Investigation Safety Training videos: {youtube}D5raPCQg8bs{/youtube}   {youtube}OsVMjVTGLsg{/youtube}

  • Aerial & Scissor LiftsIn many work situations, employees are required to perform tasks at elevated levels. And even though the type of work being performed may vary greatly from one industry to another, the means by which employees are lifted to the needed height is generally the same. This video will discuss aerial lifts and scissor lifts-the devices used to lift employees to those elevated worksites. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), Aerial lifts include boom-supported aerial platforms, such as cherry pickers or bucket trucks. The major causes of fatalities are falls, electrocutions, and collapses or tip overs. OSHA goes on to state several “safe work practices” for Aerial Lift such as, ensure that workers who operate aerial lifts are properly trained in the safe use of the equipment, maintain and operate elevating work platforms in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, never override hydraulic, mechanical or electrical safety devices. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in complying with the OSHA regulation about aerial & scissor lift safety.

  • AsbestosAsbestos is the name of a group of naturally occurring mineral fibers. Asbestos has many positive characteristics which have been proven useful for centuries. Asbestos fiber does not deteriorate under normal usage, does not conduct electricity, and is very resistant to fire, heat and corrosion. Asbestos has been used in paper products, paints, adhesives, insulations, cements, automotive parts, protective clothing, roofing materials, toasters, popcorn poppers, slow cookers and in many other products. Unfortunately, this “super” material also contains a very dangerous quality. When handled, asbestos separates into microscopic-sized particles which remain in the air and can easily be inhaled. When inhaled, asbestos can develop into many types of life-threatening diseases. As the hazards of asbestos became more known, bans and regulations were passed to limit its use. While the use of asbestos and asbestos products has decreased significantly in recent years, it can still be found in many residential and commercial settings and continues to pose a health risk to workers and others.  National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in complying with the OSHA regulation (29 CFR 1910.1001) about asbestos safety. DVD with a CD-Rom Containing: Outline (English & Spanish), Quiz (English &…
  • AuditsA single workplace accident can be devastating. Someone can be injured… or even killed. Property, equipment or materials can be damaged or destroyed. And work could come to a complete standstill. All of these things can happen if efforts are not made to protect employees. One way to accomplish this is to conduct a safety audit. This is an examination of the work area to make sure it is as safe as possible and all potential hazards are corrected or removed. NSC’s training products on “Safety Audits” inform employees about the goals of a safety audit, and how all workers should become involved. Topics covered in these products include: A workplace analysis. Administrative controls. Engineering controls. Personal protective equipment. Emergency response procedures. Regulatory compliance, safety and health training. Accident investigation. A safety self-assessment.

  • Bloodborne PathogensWorkers in many different occupations are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS. This exposure may be through needlesticks, sharps injuries, mucous membranes, and skin exposures. First aid team members, housekeeping personnel in some settings, and nurses are examples of workers who may be at risk of exposure. Workers and employers are urged to take advantage of available engineering controls and work practices to prevent exposure to blood and other body fluids. In 1991, OSHA issued the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard to protect workers from this risk of exposure. In 2001, in response to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, OSHA revised the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. The revised standard clarifies the need for employers to select safer needle devices and to involve employees in identifying and choosing these devices. The updated standard also requires employers to maintain a log of injuries from contaminated sharps. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration promulgates the standard to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens. OSHA has made a determination that employees face a significant health risk as the result of occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials because they may contain…

  • Confined spaceMany workplaces contain spaces that are considered “confined” because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. A confined space has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and it is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to underground vaults, tanks, storage bins, manholes, pits, silos, process vessels, and pipelines. OSHA uses the term “permit-required confined space” (permit space) to describe a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; contains a material that has the potential to engulf an entrant; has walls that converge inward or floors that slope downward and taper into a smaller area which could trap or asphyxiate an entrant; or contains any other recognized safety or health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or heat stress. According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program, fatal injuries in confined spaces fluctuated from a low of 81 in 1998 to a high of 100 in 2000 during the five-year period, averaging 92…

  • Driving SafetyThere are many reasons for driving, whether it be commuting to and from work, making a sales call, delivering a product or service or just picking up lunch. Driving may seem routine but can be very dangerous. Every five seconds an automobile crash occurs, every ten seconds an injury occurs from a crash and every twelve minutes someone dies from an automobile crash. Most accidents occur during the work day. Transportation accidents are the leading cause of on-the-job deaths. According to the U.S. Department of Labor and Statistics, 2,493 “fatal occupational injuries” were transportation incidents in 2005. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as an employer, you are responsible for meeting all applicable requirements and procedures of the regulations. You are also responsible for all actions of your officials, representatives, and agents (including service agents) in carrying out the requirements of the DOT agency regulations. The information in this program will provide drivers with practical and safe guidelines for driving and help them to think about driving with a safety mind-set. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about driving safety. The following are previews of the Driving…
  • Drug & Alcohol AbuseIn today’s world, being a manager or supervisor can sometimes be stressful and difficult.  You must balance your responsibilities to the organization for which you work and the employees you supervise. Additionally, you must make sure the workplace is safe for all by helping create, implement and enforce safety rules and procedures. An area where this balancing act has become increasingly important involves the use of drugs and alcohol by employees. Substance abuse has become a serious problem not only affecting the workplace, but the whole fabric of the organization. Substance abuse can hinder an employee’s ability to perform their job duties safely, accurately and efficiently. When drug or alcohol use impacts job performance, it becomes a supervisory concern with possible consequences for everyone in the workplace. DVD with a CD-Rom Containing: Outline (English & Spanish), Quiz (English & Spanish), Answer Key, Certificate, Training Log, Wallet Card, PowerPoint Presentation (English & Spanish) & Manual National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in complying with these regulations.

  • Electrical SafetyWith electricity, there is a source of electricity (generating plant), a way to transport it (conductors/power lines) and “pressure” or voltage (provided by transformers) to make the electric current flow to your house or place of employment. While there is more involved, this gives you a simple picture of the flow of electricity. Electricity is all around you. Our world is dependent upon its power. From our computers, televisions, power tools, air conditioners and more, we need electricity to make things run. Electricity is so much an integral part of everyday life that we tend to overlook its dangers. The purpose of this program is to help you understand the hazards and dangers associated with electricity and show how you can protect yourself from injury and even death. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about electrical safety. The following are previews of the Electrical Safety Training videos: {youtube}LZIVpoiaaZ4{/youtube}   {youtube}3RqV7txHTYs{/youtube}
  • Emergency PlanningEach year emergency situations cause an untold number of injuries and deaths. Damages to facilities and equipment run into the billions of dollars. While every emergency situation isn’t preventable, by planning ahead the effects of many of these situations can be minimized. Existing OSHA, SARA Title III, and numerous state regulations call for all facilities to meet a number of Emergency Preparedness/Crisis Management requirements. MARCOM’s training products on “Emergency Planning” assist facilities in complying with these regulations and help them prepare for potential emergency situations. Information presented in the program includes: The Emergency Plan Types of Emergencies Evacuation Communications Practice Sessions & Drills Crisis Management Team
  • ErgonomicsMost of the time we think of large machines, electrical tools and other equipment as being the most dangerous things in the workplace. Without proper training and use, these things can be very dangerous to employees. Unfortunately, we often overlook the smaller things at work which can be very harmful and cause major health issues. The repetitive nature of the office worker’s keyboarding, the manufacturing employee’s constant twisting to move items from a conveyor belt to a table and the employee who spends all day with their arms and hands raised above their head to stock shelves are all at high risk of suffering from a musculoskeletal disorder or MSD. Ergonomics is the process of designing work areas to be user friendly, by using tools and equipment to reduce strain and/or repetitive motions and teaching employees proper work methods, correct posture and safe lifting techniques. This safety training program will discuss those work-related factors that may pose a risk of musculoskeletal disorders and recommendations to alleviate them. These training programs on Ergonomics encourages employees to have a positive attitude about safety as well as provides introductory safety training on some of the most common workplace safety issues.

  • Excavation & TrenchingAn excavation is any man-made cut, cavity or depression in the earth’s surface, formed by earth removal. This includes a trench, which is a narrow type of excavation made below the ground that is deeper than it is wide. Trenches can be up to 15 feet wide. Trenches and excavations are common at many construction sites and are considered one of the most dangerous construction operations. It is estimated that 100 plus deaths per year occur due to cave-ins and other excavation hazards. OSHA requires that workers in trenches and excavation areas be protected. Most fatalities and injuries could be avoided with proper knowledge, utilization of OSHA safety standards and an effective health and safety program. There are many hazards associated with excavation and trench work. All excavations are hazardous because they are inherently unstable. Workers can be seriously injured or killed if the sides of a trench collapse. Unsafe trenches are the major factor in many trenching hazards. Trenches do not have to be deep for accidents to occur. Serious injuries are possible in shallow trenches (under 5 feet) as well. DVD with a CD-Rom Containing: Outline (English & Spanish), Quiz (English & Spanish), Answer Key, Certificate, Training Log,…
  • Eye Protection / SafetyAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 2,000 job related eye injuries that occur every workday. Approximately 1/3 of these injuries require a trip to the hospital emergency room and more than 100 result in time loss from work. Eye injuries are a serious problem. As with most injuries, eye injuries could be prevented with the proper engineering and work practice controls, protection and some common sense. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about eye safety. The following are previews of the Eye Safety Training videos: {youtube}MIRmpVHU2PY{/youtube}   {youtube}PtwztGV0wwI{/youtube}
  • Fall ProtectionWatching someone slip and fall will usually make us laugh even though we know it may have caused an injury. Most of us have slipped at some point in time ourselves and have lived to talk about it. Unfortunately, there are many people that have fallen and did not live to tell about it. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, falls account for about eight percent of all workplace fatalities and more than 100,000 injuries occur each year as a result of falls. Falls really aren’t something to laugh about! Your company and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) are committed to providing you a safe and healthy workplace. This program is just one piece of the Fall Protection Program your company uses to teach, train and protect you from fall hazards. OSHA’s regulations require certain steps to be taken to protect you from fall hazards. This program will discuss those required steps. There are numerous fall hazards and potential fall hazards. The most common are cluttered work areas, wet floors, inattentiveness, floor and wall openings, holes, ramps, runways, protruding nails, loose boards and working at heights. OSHA requires protection for employees working at heights of four feet in…
  • Fire Safety / ExtinguishersEach year in the U.S., 70,000-80,000 workplaces experience a serious fire. About 200 employees per year die in these fires and another 5000 are injured. Property losses from workplace fires exceed $2 Billion annually. The good news is that only about 15% of workplace fires result from a catastrophic failure of equipment, and 85% are caused by factors related to human behavior. This means that by being proactive, with a simple fire prevention plan and program, you can greatly reduce the likelihood of a fire in your workplace. Fire safety becomes everyone’s job at a worksite. Employers should train workers about fire hazards in the workplace and about what to do in a fire emergency. If you want your workers to evacuate, you should train them on how to escape. If you expect your workers to use firefighting equipment, you should give them appropriate equipment and train them to use the equipment safely. (See Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910 Subparts E and L; and Part 1926 Subparts C and F.) The fire safety plan should outline the assignments of key personnel in the event of a fire and provide an evacuation plan for workers on…

  • Forklift SafetyOSHA has promulgated the Final Rule for Powered Industrial Truck Operator Training [29 CFR 1910.178(l)], which became effective March 1, 1999. The standard requires operator training and licensing as well as periodic evaluations of operator performance. The standard also addresses specific training requirements for truck operation, loading, seat belts, overhead protective structures, alarms, and maintenance of industrial trucks. Refresher training is required if the operator is observed operating the truck in an unsafe manner, is involved in an accident or near miss, or is assigned a different type of truck. OSHA estimates that tens of thousands of employees are injured or killed annually due to forklift accidents. In 1999, because of serious concerns about forklift accidents, inuries and deaths, OSHA updated its regulation regarding Powered Industrial Trucks. We have released 2 versions of the Forklift Safety Training Program – #11-074 Construction Version that contains video footage more relevant to the construction environment and #11-123 General Version that contains video footage more relevant to other industries, such as warehouse, manufacturing or office environments. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about forklift safety. The following are previews of the Forklift Operator…
  • Hand & Power ToolHand and power tools are a very common part of our everyday lives. While they are very useful, they can also be very dangerous. Anyone that has had a wrench slip from a bolt and scraped their knuckles or hammered their finger instead of the nail knows the pain that can occur from a simple mishap. Unfortunately, more serious injuries can and do occur with the use of such tools. By being more aware of the possible dangers and hazards of working with such tools and knowing how to protect yourself, you can more easily avoid or eliminate tool-related accidents. Your safety is the main concern of OSHA and your employer. Rules and regulations are established for your benefit. You should work together with your employer to help create safe working procedures. Any unsafe working condition or tool should be reported immediately to your supervisor. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about hand & power tool safety.

  • Lockout / Tagout”Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)” refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energization or startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities.   Approximately 3 million workers service equipment and face the greatest risk of injury if lockout/tagout is not properly implemented. Compliance with the lockout/tagout standard (29 CFR 1910.147) prevents an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000 injuries each year. Workers injured on the job from exposure to hazardous energy lose an average of 24 workdays for recuperation. In a study conducted by the United Auto Workers (UAW), 20% of the fatalities (83 of 414) that occurred among their members between 1973 and 1995 were attributed to inadequate hazardous energy control procedures specifically, lockout/tagout procedures.   Created specifically to assist facilities in complying with the employee training requirements of OSHA’s “LockOut/TagOut” regulation, these products discuss the OSHA Lockout/Tagout Standard, including the Energy Control Manual.   The following are previews of the Lockout/Tagout Safety Training videos: {youtube}2y1j2SAtdeE{/youtube}   {youtube}HfZmPb8OHKo{/youtube}
  • Machine GuardingEvery year workers across the U.S. suffer from injuries sustained from unguarded or inadequately guarded moving machine part. Employee exposure to such hazards is prevalent in many workplaces. Amputations, crushed hands and arms, lacerations, abrasions and blindness are just a few of the possible injuries created by moving machine parts. Amputation is one of the most severe and crippling types of workplace injuries and usually results in permanent disability. It is estimated that approximately 18,000 injuries and over 800 deaths occur each year among workers who operate and maintain machinery. Any machine part, function, or process which many cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be either controlled or elminated. Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from needless and preventable injuries. This training program will address general requirements for machine safeguarding as mandated by OSHA.

  • Personal Protective EquipmentProtective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. Hazards exist in every workplace in many different forms: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that employers protect their employees from workplace hazards that can cause injury. Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect employees. Depending on the hazard or workplace conditions, OSHA recommends the use of engineering or work practice controls to manage or eliminate hazards to the greatest extent possible. For example, building a barrier between the hazard and the employees is an engineering control; changing the way in which employees perform their work is a work practice control. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and…
  • Respiratory SafetyEveryday thousands of workers are subjected to airborne contaminates. These different contaminates can cause great harm to the respiratory system and other vital systems if allowed to enter the human body. While the human body has natural defense mechanisms in place, they are no match for the harmful dust, mist, vapors and other airborne contaminates often created in the workplace. To protect you from such hazards, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, created the Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134. Approximately 5% of all U.S. workers in about 20% of all work establishments wear respirators at least some of the time while performing their job functions. A respirator is a personal protective device worn on the face, covers at least the nose and mouth, and is used to reduce the wearer’s risk of inhaling hazardous airborne particles (including dust particles and infectious agents), gases or vapors. Certain respirators also provide protection for oxygen-deficient atmospheres. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about respiratory safety. The following are previews of the Respiratory Safety Training videos: {youtube}2BP2Qx5LT4Q{/youtube}   {youtube}j-CVZ27M06E{/youtube}
  • Rigging SafetyOn most construction sites and in many industrial settings, cranes are commonly used.  Cranes make it possible to lift and move heavy loads which might otherwise be impossible. Cranes allow heavy objects and supplies to be lifted to the tops of buildings, moved from one place to another and lifted over other structures. As part of the lifting procedure, proper rigging of the lifted object is paramount. Rigging is the preparation of materials, supplies, equipment or other items, for lifting by the crane. Improper rigging of a load or failure of the rigging equipment can result in property damage, personnel injury, and even death. DVD with a CD-Rom Containing: Outline (English & Spanish), Quiz (English & Spanish), Answer Key, Certificate, Training Log, Wallet Card, PowerPoint Presentation (English & Spanish) & Manual National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in complying with these regulations.   The following are previews of the Intro to Crane – Rigging Safety Training videos: {youtube}0PpWpGzbzO4{/youtube}   {youtube}xH_Jc-Y7xJU{/youtube}
  • Right-to-Know / Hazcom / Chemical SafetyNew 2012 changes to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) are bringing the U.S. into alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), improving safety and health protections for America’s workers. These new revisions to OSHA’s current Hazard Communication Standard, the GHS is expected to prevent injuries and illnesses, save lives and improve trade conditions for chemical manufacturers. The Hazard Communication Standard in 1983 gave the workers the ‘right to know,’ but the new Globally Harmonized System gives workers the ‘right to understand.’ The new Hazard Communication Standard still requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the chemicals they produce or import and provide hazard information to employers and workers by putting labels on containers and preparing safety data sheets. However, the old standard allowed chemical manufacturers and importers to convey hazard information on labels and material safety data sheets in whatever format they chose. The modified standard provides a single set of harmonized criteria for classifying chemicals according to their health and physical hazards and specifies hazard communication elements for labeling and safety data sheets. Major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard: Hazard classification: Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to determine the…
  • Safety OrientationMany standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) explicitly require the employer to train employees in the safety and health aspects of their jobs. Other OSHA standards make it the employer’s responsibility to limit certain job assignments to employees who are “certified,” “competent,” or “qualified” – meaning that they have had special previous training, in or out of the workplace. The term “designated” personnel means selected or assigned by the employer or the employer’s representative as being qualified to perform specific duties. These requirements reflect OSHA’s belief that training is an essential part of every employer’s safety and health program for protecting workers from injuries and illnesses. Many researchers conclude that those who are new on the job have a higher rate of accidents and injuries than more experienced workers. We have released 5 versions of the Orientation Training Program to best meet your needs: General Version (#14-006) Construction Version (#14-070) Healthcare Version (#14-067) Foodservice Version (#14-602) Janitorial Version (#14-073) This training program on “Safety Orientation” encourages employees to have a positive attitude about safety as well as provides introductory safety training on some of the most common workplace safety issues. National Safety Compliance has developed this…
  • Safety Showers & Eye WashesNo matter how many precautions employees take, accidents sometimes happen. In these situations quick action is essential, and if the incident involves a hazardous material, using a safety shower or eyewash can be extremely important. NSC’s training products on “Safety Showers and Eye Washes” review for employees situations where safety showers and eye washes should be used, as well as how to properly use them. Topics covered in these products include: Types of showers and eye washes. How to operate showers and eye washes correctly. Chemical splashes. Appropriate shower and eye wash techniques. Helping an accident victim use a shower/eye wash. First aid. Maintenance and testing of showers and eye washes.
  • Scaffold SafetyIt is estimated that over 2 million workers frequently use scaffolding in the construction field. Statistics show that the number of injuries from scaffold related accidents is an astounding 4,500 or more a year and deaths that occur from such accidents average more than 60 per year. Proper training and protection for all employees that work with or on scaffolds is vital. This training program will focus on supported scaffolds and provide important information to help keep you safe. A supported scaffold is an elevated, temporary work platform(s) supported by rigid, load-bearing members, such as poles, posts, uprights, legs, frames and outriggers. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about Scaffold safety. The following are previews of the Office Safety Training videos: {youtube}FpUI5LXmpNk{/youtube}   {youtube}xbZ-K_DzSBw{/youtube}
  • Sexual HarassmentIn Fiscal Year 2007, EEOC received 12,510 charges of sexual harassment. 16.0% of those charges were filed by males. EEOC resolved 11,592 sexual harassment charges in FY 2007 and recovered $49.9 million in monetary benefits for charging parties and other aggrieved individuals (not including monetary benefits obtained through litigation). Sexual harassment is a workplace issue that if properly handled can be of little consequence to you and your company. You play a vital role in preventing sexual harassment from occurring at your company. Not handled properly, sexual harassment can take a toll on the victim, their family, friends, coworkers and your company. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and to labor organizations, as well as to the federal government. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. National Safety Compliance has developed this training program and materials to assist employers…
  • Slips, Trips & FallsAccidents happen every day.  Whether you are at home, work or play there is always the possibility of being involved in an accident and injuring yourself or someone nearby.  While most of us “think” about safety when it comes to big tasks or using certain tools or equipment, it is the little things that tend to trip us up and cause the most injuries. Slip, trip and fall accidents occur frequently in all areas of life because of the many hazards that exist.  Hazards are overlooked because we don’t recognize the dangers they pose.  A small wet area on the floor, a darkened room due to burned-out lights, a slight elevation from one room to the next; all have the potential to cause an accident.   According to OSHA, slip, trip and fall accidents account for the majority of workplace injuries and are a major cause of accidental deaths, second only to motor vehicle accidents. We have released 2 versions of the Slips, Trips & Falls Training Program – #09-072 Construction Version that contains video footage more relevant to the construction environment and #09-004 General Version that contains video footage more relevant to other industries, such as warehouse, manufacturing or office…
  • TuberculosisEarly in 1996 OSHA issued Tuberculosis Directives that enforce the 1994 Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Tuberculosis Prevention Guidelines, and allow for the wearing of new classes of NIOSH approved respirators/masks as well as HEPA masks. NSC’s training products on “Guarding Against Tuberculosis in the Healthcare Environment” include the changes in respiratory protection requirements. These products are designed to assist facilities and operations whose employees have a risk of exposure to tuberculosis. They also help employees understand the nature of the disease, as well as what they can do to protect themselves from infection. Topics covered in these products include: Epidemiology and symptoms of tuberculosis. Modes by which tuberculosis is transmitted. The CDC Guidelines. The Exposure Control Plan. Recognition of exposure situations. Practices to prevent exposure. Administrative and engineering controls. Selection and use of personal protective equipment (including respirators).
  • Welding SafetyThere are over 500,000 workers involved in some form of welding, cutting or brazing work. These are hazardous activities which pose a combination of both safety and health risks for employees. Welding, cutting and brazing are all very dangerous and proper work practices must be followed to avoid injuries, fires and even explosions. The safety and well-being of workers involved in welding, cutting or brazing is the impetus behind OHSA’s regulations covering these activities. National Safety Compliance has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in training their workers about welding safety. The following are previews of the Welding Safety Training videos: {youtube}AVJYGHAA57Q{/youtube}   {youtube}{/youtube}
  • Wellness & FitnessA good wellness and fitness program can significantly improve employees’ safety records. Studies have found that accidents and injuries occur less frequently with employees who are healthier and in better shape. NSC’s training products on “Wellness and Fitness” show employees how small changes in lifestyles can produce big benefits. While wellness is a gradual process, eliminating negative lifestyle factors can help keep employees healthy. Topics covered in these products include: The importance of “attitude.” Blood pressure and other stress related conditions. Smoking. Nutrition and weight control. Drug and alcohol use. Exercise.
  • Winter SafetyOver the years employers have discovered that their employees miss more time from work as a result of “off-the-job” accidents than due to injuries experienced on the job. Many of these accidents occur during the winter holidays, as employees do things that they are not familiar with or haven’t done “since last year”. Fortunately, most of these accidents can be prevented. NSC’s training products on “Winter Safety” show employees how to plan ahead, look for potential hazards and avoid dangerous situations that occur during the winter holiday season. Topics covered in these products include: Surviving in the cold. Keeping your workplace safe in icy conditions. Dressing for the weather. Driving in winter weather. Holiday decorations. Celebrating the season safely.
  • Workplace StressIn the fast-paced world that we live in, we are always encountering situations that can be stressful. Many of these occur at work. Yet stress, and its effects on our ability to do our jobs, is a subject that is often overlooked. NSC’s training products on “Workplace Stress” help employees identify potentially stressful situations and learn how to cope with them. Topics covered in these products include: Situations causing stress. Positive versus negative stress. Recognizing symptoms of stress. Effects of stress on the mind and body. Eliminating “stress factors”. Stress-relieving exercises.
  • Workplace ViolenceIn recent years many workplace deaths attributed to violence have gained much public attention due to increased media coverage. It seems as though every other week another story is reported on a violent death occurring at a workplace because of a disgruntled or former employee, a domestic dispute playing out at work, or a heated dispute between workers. Homicide has become a leading cause of fatal occupational injuries in the United States. While homicide is the most extreme form of workplace violence, it represents a very small number of workplace violence incidents. Most incidents that occur at the workplace deal with lesser cases of assault, threats, harassments and other violent acts and generally receive less media coverage. It is estimated that nearly two million American workers report being a victim of workplace violence each year with many more acts of violence going unreported.
