COURSE NAME |
DESCRIPTION |
LOCATION |
Safety: Bloodborne Pathogens |
Approximately 5.6 million workers in health care and other facilities
are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. This online course was
designed for employees who are engaged in activities that may expose
them to human blood or other potentially infectious materials, and to
introduce required procedures, best practices, and recommended methods
and equipment to reduce their risk from this exposure. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Hazard Communication |
The information presented in this course is based upon the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200). In addition, this course will cover the scope and application, manufacturer and employer responsibilities, and elements of a hazard communication program. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Office Safety |
Despite common beliefs that the office provides a safe
environment in which to work, many hazards exist which cause thousands
of injuries and health problems each year among office workers. Since
one-third of the DOI work force is in offices, even low rates of work-related
injuries and illnesses can have an immense impact on employee safety
and health. This course discusses office safety in today's world of work. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Personal Protective Equipment |
Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes all clothing and other work
accessories designed to create a barrier against workplace hazards. Hard
hats, goggles, face shields, steel-toed shoes, respirators, aprons, gloves,
and full body suits are all forms of personal protective equipment. At
the end of this course, you should be able to: Describe the basics of conducting
a hazard assessment of the workplace; Identify the different types of PPE
and the proper use and care of the equipment; and Select appropriate PPE
for a variety of circumstances. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Hearing Conservation |
There are many persons in the Department of the Interior’s
workforce who engage in operations where they may be exposed to noise hazards.
Fortunately, the incidence of noise-induced hearing loss can be reduced
or eliminated through the successful application of engineering controls
and hearing conservation programs. Directives in the Departmental Manual,
Part 485, requires each Department of the Interior bureau to implement
a hearing conservation program for employees who are exposed to workplace
noise over certain limits. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Exit Routes, Emergency Action Plans and Fire Prevention Plans |
There is a long and tragic history of workplace fires caused by problems
with fire exits and extinguishing systems. OSHA requires employers to provide
proper exits, fire fighting equipment, and employee training to prevent
fire deaths and injuries in the workplace. The rules in 29 CFR 1910.34
through 1910.39 cover the minimum requirements for exit routes that employers
must provide in their workplaces so that employees may evacuate the workplaces
safely during an emergency. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Operations and Maintenance: Plans and Preventive Maintenance |
This course teaches supervisors, managers, and employees
how to create and manage job plans, safety plans, and preventive maintenance
(PM) routines. This course is based on the FMSS, and uses FMSS to
manage facility inventory and resources. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Fire Protection |
In this course, you will learn about the fire protection requirements
covered in 29 CFR 1910, Subpart L. These requirements cover the following
fire protection subjects: Fire brigades; Portable and fixed fire suppression
equipment; Fire detection systems; and Fire and employee alarm systems.
The rules addressed apply to all employment except maritime, construction,
and agricultural jobs. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |
Safety: Fall Protection |
Falls are one of the leading causes of occupational fatalities.
In fact, it is the number one cause of death in construction. There
are so many different types of work and so many different kinds of fall
hazards that it is not possible to organize fall protection into a neat
set of rules that fit all situations. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has placed rules for fall protection in several different
subparts, depending primarily on the nature of the work. In this course,
we will describe methods of providing fall protection and more specifically,
personal fall arrest systems. |
https://doilearn.doi.gov/ |

“Lockout/tagout” 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. This course will discuss the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation, 29 CFR
1910.147 Control of Hazardous Energy, which requires lockout/tagout if
you perform service or maintenance activities such as constructing, installing,
setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying, and maintaining or servicing
machines or equipment — where the unexpected startup, energization,
or the release of stored energy could cause injury. |

Cranes pose significant safety issues, both for the operators of the
diverse "lifting" devices, and for workers in proximity to them.
Moving large, heavy loads is crucial to today’s manufacturing and
construction industries, and much new technology has been developed for
these operations. OSHA has separate regulations covering cranes used in
General Industry, Construction, and Maritime. Although these regulations
have differences, this course will discuss maintenance, operations, and
training that are applicable to all industries. |

Mold Awareness |
Many businesses and organizations, including government-owned facilities,
can experience mold at their facilities at some point in their business
life. A mold is a coating or discoloration that develops in a damp atmosphere
on the surface of food or fabric. Not everyone is at risk from exposure
to molds but certain groups of individuals, including infants and the elderly,
are particularly susceptible to mold-induced allergies or infections. Providing
information on the hazards associated with mold is an important aspect
of the health and safety requirements for businesses and organizations.
This course is part of the Safety and Health Series and is aimed at any
employee whose normal job activities could result in occupational exposure
to mold. This course provides the learner with the basic understanding
of mold awareness in the workplace - how mold grows and spreads, how to
recognize mold, the routes of human exposure to mold, associated health
effects from mold exposure, and methods of mold prevention and clean up. |
