New course offings - Asbestos Training for Building Managers Course and the new OSHA Cranes in Construction course

Two new courses are now being offered. Our 1-day Asbestos Training for Building Managers course will be held on October 13th of this year, and the Cranes in Construction course will be held on January 14th, and June 12th of 2015. Please see below for course descriptions, and registration information.



1-day Asbestos Training for Building Managers

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Building and facility owners and managers, project managers, construction managers, general contractors, engineering and maintenance managers, EHS personnel and environmental consultants.


BENEFITS:Federal and State asbestos regulations assign overall responsibility for compliance to employers and building or facility owners. Current asbestos courses follow a model plan for specific disciplines such as asbestos abatement and maintenance workers, inspectors and project designers. Often these courses are not applicable to building management personnel. This one-day course will identify major sections of current regulations regarding facility operation compliance. Format is by lecture followed by small workshops to reinforce understanding and a case study to combine course objectives.

Course topics include hazards associated with crane assembly and disassembly, types of cranes, lifting concepts, rigging and wire rope, signaling, employee qualifications and training, and maintenance, repair, and inspection requirements. Students will participate in workshops to reinforce concepts of safe crane operation. Upon course completion students will have the ability to identify the types of cranes and their components and attachments, determine safe operating conditions, and recognize common violations of OSHA Standards.
