Arc Flash Training
Instructor(s):

Tim Garrett

This one-day seminar is designed specifically for those responsible for making decisions regarding employee safety and regulatory compliance. You will learn what NFPA 70E covers and why everyone is concerned about it. Also, you will learn what options you have when you decide to implement 70E, and what resource commitments you should anticipate. You will be instructed by some of the same compliance experts who have been hired by companies such as Philip-Morris, Siemens, and many others to design corporate-wide 70E compliance programs. This program is designed to answer the questions you have about 70E, not to sell you new circuit breakers or maintenance contracts as so many others are trying to do. There will be ample time for questions and answers. This may be the most important seminar you attend this year! Training Topics:

• Is compliance with NFPA 70E mandatory?

• What are Arc Flash Hazards and Shock Hazards?

• What is a Flash Hazard Analysis?

• What is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) clothing and do your employees need it?

• What are your options to reduce hazard risk levels?

• What is the cost of NFPA 70E implementation?

• What are the potential problems with implementation?

• What are the benefits of implementation?

Behavior-Based Safety is a component of Human Performance--An Organizational Learning Enterprise
Human error is normal—a natural part of being human and in one form or another, is the primary reason for events in industry. Human error is often provoked by conflicting management and leadership practices, weaknesses in the organization, processes, and culture and the behaviors of the individuals in the organization. Understanding human error helps one recognize complexities and limitations to performance. As one begins to understand the dynamics of the organization and the individual capabilities of the individuals that make up the organization, organizational learning can begin.  With ongoing attention and focus of organizational and personal limitations and the lessons of day-to-day events, an organization can one day be that of an Organizational Learning Enterprise.
Course will introduce the Idaho National Laboratory's (INL) Behavior-Based Safety process and as a component of Human Performance has become an Organizational Learning Enterprise that has supported bringing about the INL's lowest injury/illness rates in history.

Flagger Training
Instructor(s):

David Boyce

Flagger Certification Course

The Flagger Certification Course was developed to provide Flaggers with the basic knowledge, information and awareness to perform their jobs safely. Before starting a job, Flaggers are encouraged to talk with their supervisor and familiarize themselves with the work area, specific job site hazards and proper flagging procedures. Once the Flagger course is successfully completed (passing written exam with 80% or better), the student will receive a wallet size card certifying their training to perform as a qualified Flagger. The card must be carried when the Flagger is performing flagging duties. The card is valid for 3 years.

Because flaggers are responsible for the public safety and make the greatest number of contacts with the public of all highway workers, they should be trained in safe traffic control practices and public contact techniques. Flaggers should be able to satisfactorily demonstrate the following:

• Ability to receive and communicate specific instructions clearly, firmly and courteously;

• Ability to move and maneuver quickly in order to avoid danger from an errant vehicle;

• Ability to control signaling devices such as paddles and flags in order to provide clear and positive guidance to drivers approaching a TTC zone in frequently changing situations;

• Ability to understand and apply safe traffic control practices, sometimes in stressful or emergency situations;

• Ability to recognize dangerous traffic situations and warn workers in sufficient time to avoid injury.

Hazard Recognition Instructor(s):

Rick Callor & Brad Giles

How is a job safety hazard like a crocodile?  Well you usually don’t expect either of them to be there; a lot of time you don’t even notice they are there; and sometimes you find them by surprise with not very pleasant results. This class uses a comparison of job hazards to crocodiles to assist the audience and attendees to better understand that hazards are not always that easy to identify. The presentation relates the two with video clips and job site photos to provide the comparisons of hazards and crocodiles. The presentation shows examples of hazards at the job sites  like mounting/dismounting equipment,  gravity as a hazard, unusual tasks, chemical agents, lifting heavy objects, working on high walls and steep slopes that the attendees can relate to and that they may  have had  to deal with at their own job sites. These hazards will be linked to the 11 most common sources of injury in the workplace. Through active audience interaction, participants will be given the opportunity to discuss other challenging workplace hazards that they may have encountered.

 The presentation objectives allow the participants to be able to achieve the following:

·Understand what creates a workplace hazard
·Anticipate where hazards might be hiding
·Describe what types of injuries can result from workplace hazards
·Approach safety hazards with the anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control method
·Consider how human behavior contributes to unplanned incidents
·Appreciate the importance of fully utilizing work safety plans in job planning

- How, and under what circumstances, can the equipment guards be safely removed and when must the equipment guards be replaced

- What to do if an equipment guard is damaged or missing.

This kind of safety training is necessary for new miners and maintenance personnel. Additional training or retraining is necessary when changes are made to guarding systems. Training may be required when miners are assigned to different equipment and/or locations.
