PEC CERTIFIED COURSES AND DIPLOMAS OUTLINES
OSHACADEMY courses : - Eight modules. Many companies today maintain reactive safety and health management systems that frankly don't work. Learn how to develop an effective proactive safety management system using time-tested methods that have proven successful in all organizations. This course discusses eight critical elements of a successful profit center safety management system. Subjects include: top management commitment, labor and management accountability, maximizing employee involvement, effective communications, hazard identification and analysis, taking corrective actions, making system improvements, incident/accident investigation, and continuous safety improvement. Suggested CEU Credits: .6
Course 700: Introduction to Safety Management
Course 701: Effective Safety Committees - Eight modules. Every company can benefit from an effective safety committee. Unfortunately, most safety committees do not understand their purpose or the role they play in assisting management to provide a safe and healthful workplace. This course helps the student understand his/her responsibilities as a safety committee member. It will help the safety committee chairperson successfully lead a safety committee. Suggested CEU Credits: .6 - Eight Modules. This course is absolutely necessary for anyone who is required to investigate accidents. It gives you the information needed to effectively analyze the accident event by uncovering the cause of injury, and the primary and contributing surface causes for the accident. Then you learn how to analyze and evaluate your safety management system (SMS) for root causes. You'll learn why, when conducting the accident investigation, the question of fault and possible discipline is irrelevant and inappropriate. The course introduces you to a simple, yet extremely effective six-step procedure to secure the accident scene, collect information, develop the sequence of events, determine surface and root causes, recommend corrective actions and system improvements, and write an effective accident report. Suggested CEU Credits: .6
Course 702: Effective Accident Investigation
Course 703: Introduction to OSH Training - Eight modules. This is a must-take course for anyone managing a safety training program or conducting safety training. This online course helps safety professionals gain the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and implement an effective safety training program that (1) meets OSHA safety and health program requirements and ANSI/ASSE Z490.1-2009, Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health, and Environmental Training guidelines. Suggested CEU Credits: .6 Course 704: Hazard Analysis and Control - Seven modules. Safety directors, safety committee members, supervisors, and managers will gain a greater ability to identify the various categories of hazards in their workplace, and apply strategies used to make sure hazards are eliminated or reduced. Emphasis is placed on applying the "hierarchy of controls" strategies to eliminate hazards. Suggested CEU Credits: .5
Course 705: Hazard Communication Program - Six modules. OSHA inspectors will ALWAYS check out your Hazard Communication Program when they inspect. Why? Because failing to maintain a written program is one of the most common violations cited by OSHA. All employers must identify hazardous chemicals they use and develop a hazard communication (HAZCOM) program to inform their employees about those chemicals. This introduction to Part 1910 Subpart Z - Toxic and Hazardous Substances - 1910.1200 Hazard Communication, discusses various requirements including written program requirements, labeling, and material safety data sheet (MSDS) maintenance and training. A sample written hazard communication program is reviewed. Suggested CEU Credits: .5

Eight Principles of a Safe Workplace
The success of the International Association of Safety Professionals is a reflection of NASP's Eight Principles of Workplace Safety. While each NASP Certified Safety Manager or Trainer determines their own safety efforts, they are all joined in basing their programs and training on a common safety philosophy. These eight principles, derived from the NASP Safety Philosophy, have given direction to hundreds of safety managers and trainers at locations worldwide. 1. Safety is an Ethical Responsibility. At its core, ethics holds up a positive vision of what is right and what is good. It defines what is "worth" pursuing as guidance for our decisions and actions. Workplace injuries and deaths are too often seen in the abstract as statistics. But when it happens to someone we love, we suddenly see the reality of the horrible pain and suffering and its widespread effect. It is our ethical responsibility to do what is necessary to protect employees from death, injury, and illness in the workplace. This is the only foundation upon which a true safety culture can be established in any workplace. 2. Safety is a Culture Not a Program. The combined commitment and participation of the entire organization is necessary to create and maintain an effective safety culture. Every person in the organization, from the top management of the corporation to the newest employee, is responsible and accountable for preventing injuries.
3. anagement is Responsible. Management's responsibility is to lead the safety effort in a sustained and consistent way, establishing safety goals, demanding accountability for safety performance, and providing the resources necessary for a safe workplace. Managing safety is the responsibility of every supervisor, from the first line supervisor to the Chairman of the Board. 4. Employees Must Be Trained to Work Safely. Awareness of safety does not come naturally; we all need to be trained to work safely. Effective training programs both teach and motivate employees to be a productive part of the safety culture. 5. Safety is a Condition of Employment. The employer must exhaust every reasonable means to lead, motivate, train, and provision employees to maintain a safe workplace. But, in the event the
PEC CERTIFIED COURSES AND DIPLOMAS OUTLINES
employee refuses to take the actions required to work safely, the employer must utilize a system of progressive discipline to enforce safety requirements and ensure the cooperation of the employee or the removal of the employee from the workplace in order to protect the employee and their coworkers. 6. All Injuries Are Preventable. Sometimes accidents occur without the apparent indication of fault or blame. But there is always some chain of events that occurred leading up to the accident that, had we realized the eventual outcome, someone could have interceded. The fundamental belief that injuries are, by their nature, preventable is a catalyst that encourages us to prevent injuries. 7. Safety Programs Must Be Site Specific with Recurring Audits of the Workplace and Prompt Corrective Action. The purpose of the workplace audit is to discover and remedy the actual hazards of the site before they can injure workers. Recurring hazard analyses, comprehensive inspections, and aggressive investigation of accidents or near misses, discover potential workplace hazards and identify weaknesses in safety plans, programs, policies, and procedures. Safety regulations and generic safety programs are not sufficient means to discover hazards because they are not specific to the individual workplace. A safety audit program is site specific. Whenever a safety deficiency is found, prompt action is required both to overcome the hazard and to reinforce the message that safety is a priority. 8. Safety is Good Business. Reducing workplace injuries and illnesses reduces the costs of workers' compensation, medical expenses, potential government fines, and the expenses of litigation. Effective workplace safety is not an expense, its an asset. A properly managed safety culture based on these Eight Principles of Workplace Safety will produce employees who participate actively in training, identify and alert each other and management to potential hazards, and feel a responsibility for their safety and the safety of others. Accepting safety as an ethical responsibility demonstrates a sincere concern for each employee which establishes the foundation for an effective safety culture.
