Safety & Training

Most of the time we think of large machines, electrical tools and other equipment as being the most dangerous things in the workplace. Without proper training and use, these things can be very dangerous to employees. Unfortunately, we often overlook the smaller things at work which can be very harmful and cause major health issues. The repetitive nature of the office worker's keyboarding, the manufacturing employee's constant twisting to move items from a conveyor belt to a table and the employee who spends all day with their arms and hands raised above their head to stock shelves are all at high risk of suffering from a musculoskeletal disorder or MSD. Ergonomics is the process of designing work areas to be user friendly, by using tools and equipment to reduce strain and/or repetitive motions and teaching employees proper work methods, correct posture and safe lifting techniques. This safety training program will discuss those work-related factors that may pose a risk of musculoskeletal disorders and recommendations to alleviate them. This training program on “Office Ergonomics” encourages employees to have a positive attitude about safety as well as provides introductory safety training on some of the most common workplace safety issues. DVD with a CD-Rom Containing: Outline (English & Spanish), Quiz (English & Spanish), Answer Key, Certificate, Training Log, Wallet Card, PowerPoint Presentation (English & Spanish) & Manual OSHA Compliance Group, Inc. has developed this training video and materials to assist employers in complying with these regulations.

Many employees feel that moving and handling materials that they work with every day is an “ordinary” task, not something that they really need to be concerned about. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of “materials handling” accidents every year… from small splinters, cuts or scrapes… to crushed fingers, hands and feet… even deaths. NSC's training products on “Materials Handling Safety” provide the information employees need to work safely when handling various types of materials. Topics covered in these products include:

Every year workers across the U.S. suffer from injuries sustained from unguarded or inadequately guarded moving machine part. Employee exposure to such hazards is prevalent in many workplaces. Amputations, crushed hands and arms, lacerations, abrasions and blindness are just a few of the possible injuries created by moving machine parts. Amputation is one of the most severe and crippling types of workplace injuries and usually results in permanent disability. It is estimated that approximately 18,000 injuries and over 800 deaths occur each year among workers who operate and maintain machinery. Any machine part, function, or process which many cause injury must be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be either controlled or elminated. Safeguards are essential for protecting workers from needless and preventable injuries. This training program will address general requirements for machine safeguarding as mandated by OSHA.

Ladders are one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in almost any work environment. From common stepladders to sophisticated extension ladders, they can be found almost everywhere. Ladders are a very handy tool, both at work and around the home. They are used for tasks such as changing light bulbs and painting, to working at high levels or to reach elevated work areas. Ladders are such simple tools that many people forget the dangers involved when using a ladder. Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry and the misuse of ladders is one of the leading causes of fall-related injuries every year.

It is all around us, and we breathe it every day to stay alive. But how “clean” is the air that we breathe?
