COURSE DESCRIPTION


Respiratoy
Protection Training

This training course is designed to provide employees with the training requirements of the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. This course is required for employees that wear respirators for protection from air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors. Respiratory protection training should be given to the employee prior to wearing a respirator and annually thereafter. This course will cover: regulatory requirements of the OSHA standard, respirator use, maintenance, and storage, limitation and capabilities of respirators, inspection and user-seal checks, and medical signs and symptoms of improper use.

Respiratory Fit Tests

Zephyr offers qualitative and quantitative fit testing.

Fire Extinguisher

This course is designed to fulfill the training requirements of OSHA’s Portable Fire Extinguisher Standard, 29 CFR 1910.157. Prior to using fire extinguishers and annually thereafter, employees should be trained in the basic principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with fighting incipient stage fires. This course will cover: distinguishing fires that can be fought, classification of fire types, hazards of fighting a fire, extinguishing media available, and techniques for extinguishing fires. At onsite training classes, we can offer that each participant will discharge an actual fire extinguisher, if the company provides permits and an acceptable location.

Confined Space Entry

Employees that work in confined spaces are required by the OSHA Standard to be trained prior to entering a confined space and whenever conditions change to present a new hazard in a confined space. This course will cover confined space definition, key aspects of the OSHA Standard, entry team roles and responsibilities, hazard/exposure condition recognition and control, pre-entry testing and continuous monitoring, personal protective equipment, entry permit procedures, and emergency retrieval. This course does not provide "rescue" training.

Control of Hazardous Energy

This course is designed to meet the training requirements of OSHA's hazard energy control standard, 29 CFR 1910.147. This training will provide the purpose and function of the energy control program to help employees understand and provide the knowledge and skills required for the safe application, usage, and removal of the energy controls are acquired by employees. The training includes the recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control.

Hazard Communication

This course is designed to meet the training requirements of OSHA's hazard communication standard and is required for each employee who may be "exposed" to hazardous chemicals when working. This training will provide information about working with a hazardous chemical whenever an employee is subjected to a hazardous chemical in the course of employment through any route of entry (inhalation, ingestion, skin contact or absorption, etc.) and includes potential (e.g., accidental or possible) exposure. The training is designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity), and specific chemical hazards can be covered in an onsite course, if requested in advance. Employers must provide chemical-specific information through labels and material safety data sheets.
