Understanding Fire Science, Prevention, and Emergency Response
June 18, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET
Fire is one of the most destructive and fast-moving workplace hazards, often escalating in seconds and leaving little room for error. This comprehensive, interactive workshop is designed to equip employees, supervisors, and safety leaders with the knowledge and skills to understand fire behavior, recognize fire hazards, use fire protection equipment, and respond effectively in emergency situations.
Explore the science behind fire, leading causes of workplace ignition, fire protection systems, emergency response protocols, portable fire extinguisher use, and the critical requirements of hot work permits. Through real-world case studies and learning activities, this workshop empowers individuals to prevent fires before they start and react confidently when they do.
From Sound Science to OSHA Compliance
June 23, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET
Protecting workers from hazardous noise exposure is essential — not only for regulatory compliance but for preventing permanent, irreversible hearing loss. This technical workshop is designed for safety leaders, industrial hygienists, supervisors, and anyone responsible for noise management.
This comprehensive workshop builds a strong foundation in the physics of sound, the anatomy of the ear, and how hearing damage occurs. You'll then apply these concepts to real workplace scenarios, using equations to analyze noise data, calculate time‑weighted averages (TWA), determine permissible exposure durations, and evaluate mixed noise environments.
The workshop also provides a detailed breakdown of OSHA’s noise exposure regulations, hearing conservation requirements, and noise control strategies using the hierarchy of controls. Utilizing math problems and practical case studies, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence needed to design, manage, and evaluate effective hearing conservation programs.
Practical Skills for a Safer Workplace
July 1, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. ET
Chemical safety is critical in any environment where hazardous materials are stored, handled, or used. This interactive workshop is designed to build the knowledge and confidence to recognize chemical hazards and work safely around them. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, you'll learn how to interpret chemical information and respond effectively when issues arise.
This workshop is ideal for employees in laboratories, manufacturing, maintenance, facilities, and any role where chemicals are present.
Preventing Falls Through Knowledge, Equipment, and Safe Practices
July 14, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET
Falls remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities worldwide, making fall protection training essential for any industry where employees work at height. This interactive, technical workshop is designed to provide workers, supervisors, and safety leaders with the knowledge and practical skills required to recognize fall hazards, select appropriate controls, use fall protection equipment properly, and respond effectively in emergencies.
Explore regulatory standards, hazard assessment techniques, personal fall arrest systems, ladders and scaffolds, aerial lift safety, and the critical components of rescue planning. Through virtual demonstrations, hands‑on calculations, and hazard‑identification activities, this course equips you to prevent falls before they occur.
Engineering-Based Safety for High-Risk Worksites
July 31, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. ET
Excavation and trenching activities are among the most hazardous operations in construction and industrial environments. This technical workshop is designed to bridge the gap between basic OSHA awareness and the advanced, engineering-informed decision making required for safe field operations.
Explore soil mechanics, protective system selection, and the triggers that require intervention by a Competent Person or Registered Professional Engineer. With a strong focus on real world application, this workshop combines physics, regulatory requirements, and best practice techniques to ensure participants can assess conditions, select effective controls, and manage excavation sites safely and confidently.
Ideal for Competent Persons, supervisors, safety leaders, equipment operators, engineers, and anyone responsible for excavation oversight.
Building Resilient Response Plans
Aug 5, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. ET
Emergencies may be unpredictable, but your ability to respond doesn’t have to be. This engaging, solutions‑focused workshop is designed to help you build or strengthen your organization's emergency response plan using proven best practices, regulatory requirements, and a practical all‑hazards approach.
Learn how to assess risks, organize roles and responsibilities, establish response procedures, and build plans that employees can follow under pressure. Whether your organization faces natural disasters, equipment failures, or medical emergencies, this workshop equips you with the knowledge to prepare, respond, and recover effectively.
Ideal for safety leaders, facility managers, HR professionals, emergency coordinators, and anyone involved in organizational resilience planning.
