*Course available in Spanish ADJUSTING TO CHANGING CONDITIONS In 2005, 848,000 crashes in the U.S. occurred under rain, sleet, or snow conditions, and although there are far fewer vehicles on roadways at nighttime, over half of all vehicle crashes involving fatalities occurred in dim or dark lighting conditions. Certainly, environmental conditions play a significant role in vehicle crashes. The most unfortunate aspect of such collisions is that oftentimes they are entirely preventable. The main culprit in such crashes is not the effect of the environment but the drivers who failed to recognize the hazardous conditions and drive appropriately. Environmental conditions that can affect driving include weather, visibility, and road surface quality. All of these require drivers to be able to respond appropriately and adjust their driving performance to make sure the vehicle handles safely under the conditions present. This course reviews these environmental conditions and explains the required driver responses to ensure safe vehicle operations. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Drivers Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: None

AEROSAL TRANSMISSIBLE DISEASES Airborne pathogens are serious threats to employees in many different environments. They can spread rapidly from a single infected individual to cause infection in many others in the vicinity. Without vaccination and observing adequate precautions, employees can become sick, missing work and passing their illness on to others. The result of the lost workdays and productivity can impose a financial burden on employers and can even lead to death in certain individuals. Recognizing these dangers and intending to protect all employees in California who face occupational exposure, the California Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board (Cal/OSHA) adopted the aerosol transmissible diseases standard in May 2009. It aims to protect workers in California in professions that involve potential exposure to ATD-causing pathogens. The standard requires covered employers to take steps to protect their employees from ATD infection. This course is based on the Cal/OSHA ATD standard, and is geared toward familiarizing employees with relevant topics in the standard. Topics such as the modes of transmission of ATDs, signs and symptoms of ATDs, identifying workplace exposures, and strategies to reduce infections all receive full treatment. The importance of respiratory protection, disinfection and decontamination, as well as vaccination, and post-exposure care are also covered. NOTE TO EMPLOYERS: In addition to the topics introduced in this course, the ATD standard requires that training be tailored to the unique demands of each workplace, and include a specific look at what particular exposures your employees face in your workplace. Employees must also be provided with copies of the ATD standard and the ATD Exposure Control Plan and/or Biosafety Plan used in your workplaces as well as notification of the means by which they can provide input as to its effectiveness. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: General audience Prerequisite: No prior knowledge required Regulatory Reference: Cal/OSHA Standard Title 8, Chapter 4, Subchapter 7, Article 109, Section 5199

AGGRESSIVE DRIVING Aggressive driving is a serious problem on American roadways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that aggressive drivers cause two-thirds of all fatal crashes today. While drivers under 30 are most likely to show aggressive driving behavior at the wheel, aggressive driving is a problem that crosses generational, racial, gender, and geographic lines. Aggressive driving is a problem that puts all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians in danger. Aggressive drivers may be unpredictable, take risks, make erratic maneuvers, and have little regard for the welfare of others. Therefore, even drivers who may not consider themselves aggressive should still learn strategies for how to avoid provoking an aggressive driving incident. This course proposes strategies to avoid both perpetrating and provoking an aggressive driving incident and discusses speeding as a primary and deadly symptom of aggressive driving. It is hoped that this course will help our roadways become safer and less stressful, which will ultimately save lives, minimize injuries, and save on property damage repair costs. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Individuals who drive on the job. Prerequisite: No previous knowledge required Regulatory Reference: None

*Course available in Spanish ALCOHOL-FREE WORKPLACE Alcohol, a very simple molecule, is one of the most widely used drugs in the world. Like other general anesthetics, alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. When alcohol is consumed, it is distributed throughout the body and exerts most of its effects in the brain. In general, its effects are proportional to its concentration in the blood. It is estimated that alcohol abuse costs society an estimated $116 billion a year and is associated with up to half of all traffic fatalities. In the workplace, the costs associated with alcohol abuse include increased absences, accidents, and errors. This training course has 12 learning modules with a ten-question exam. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: This training program complements the mandatory drug & alcohol testing for all employees who operate company vehicles that meet certain DOT requirements. Generally, the DOT rules cover commercial motor-vehicle drivers as well as safety-sensitive employees in the areas of aviation, railroad, pipeline, maritime, and mass transit in interstate and intrastate transportation.

ANGER, VIOLENCE, AND CONFLICT IN THE WORKPLACE Conflict and anger are common issues faced by supervisory staff. In some cases, conflict and anger can lead to violence. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that 564 workplace homicides were committed in 2005. Management staff can create a healthier work environment and help prevent anger from escalating into violence by learning to manage employees with apparent or suspected behavioral problems, employees who are consistently angry or disgruntled, and employees who show signs of potential violence. This course will provide tips on resolving conflict, disciplining employees with anger or behavioral problems, and avoiding potential liability. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Supervisors Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: None ASBESTOS AWARENESS Since the beginning of the 20th century, asbestos has come into wide use in a variety of materials: building insulation, friction products such as brake shoes and brake pads, and fireproof textiles. An estimated 1.3 million employees in construction and general industries face significant asbestos exposure on the job. Heaviest exposures today occur in the construction industry, particularly during the removal of asbestos during renovation or demolition. Asbestos standards determined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Environmental Protection Agency overlap, and both sets of standards are relevant for regulation of asbestos removal and managing the effects of exposure to asbestos. This course has 12 lessons and a 10-question exam. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Employers must provide a training program for all employees installing and handling asbestos-containing products and for employees performing Class I through IV asbestos operations.

BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS SAFETY Blood and other potentially infectious materials pose a serious threat to employees who are exposed to these materials. Injuries from contaminated needles and other sharps have been associated with an increased risk of disease from more than 20 infectious agents. The primary agents of concern in current occupational settings are the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). To reduce the health risk to workers whose duties involve exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, OSHA issued the Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) on December 6, 1991 (56 FR 64004). The provisions of the standard were based on the agency's determination that a combination of engineering and work practice controls, personal protective equipment, training, medical surveillance, hepatitis B vaccinations, signs and labels, and other requirements would minimize the risk of disease transmission. This course explains the requirements for complying with this standard as well as provides practical information on the various diseases and protection strategies associated with bloodborne pathogens. The course incorporates the 2001 OSHA revisions to the standard that were made in compliance with the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act. This training course has 20 learning modules with a ten-question exam. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: This training program is mandatory for all employees initially and on an annual basis thereafter. Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required.

CPR ACADEMIC Each year approximately 250,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest in the United States. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions delivered to victims thought to be in cardiac arrest. During cardiac arrest, the heart stops pumping blood, blood pressure falls to zero, and the pulse stops. Within 10 seconds a victim may lose consciousness and become unresponsive. CPR helps circulate blood that contains oxygen to the brain and other vital organs and can help "buy time" until help arrives. This course highlights how to recognize the signs of cardiac arrest, how and when to perform CPR, and how to use an AED to help a person in cardiac arrest. This course is meant to supplement CPR training conducted by the American Heart Association. It is not to be used as the primary guide for patient care. Please contact the American Heart Association for the hands-on class information. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: This training program may or may not be mandatory, although if implemented, employees should be retrained on an annual basis. Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151

CUSTOMER SERVICE Successful organizations realize that customer service is at the core of their success and consequently must be at the core of their mission. Unfortunately, this does not automatically imply that customers at such organizations are having a positive customer experience. A recent survey found that 80% of companies believe they are providing customer experience of a superior quality. However, when customers of those same companies were surveyed, only 8% agreed with those claims (HBR, 2005). Clearly, customer service is an area that requires more attention, especially the kind of attention that places greater emphasis on understanding and listening to the customers. This course aims to reinforce the significance of customer service as a precondition to the success of any organization. Special emphasis is placed on understanding customers, creating a work culture that is customer service-oriented, and reviewing intuitive and not-so-intuitive customer service skills. The content is applicable to employees in many kinds of organizations, from commercial firms to educational institutions.

DANGERS OF SPEEDING Speeding is a contributing factor in nearly one-third of all fatal crashes. Since 1995 the number of deaths and injuries attributed to speed have continued to rise. Technological advances in vehicle safety and passenger protection have not been able to prevent the thousands of needless deaths each year from speed-related crashes. The best solution to the problem is to make drivers aware of the problem and to equip them to drive at safe speeds, which are the two main objectives of this course. Towards these ends, various topics are covered, including what factors influence drivers to speed, what risks arise from excessive speed, how speed affects stopping distance, what economic costs stem from speeding and aggressive driving, how to avoid becoming involved in a collision with a speeder, and what factors to consider in choosing a safe speed for vehicle operation. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: All drivers Prerequisite: No previous knowledge required. Regulatory Reference: None

*Course available in Spanish DEALING WITH ISSUES OF ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE Substance abuse is a significant concern for employers. Most drug and alcohol abusers have jobs.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING STRATEGIES The number one cause of work-related fatalities in the U.S. is vehicle crashes. A worker is more likely to suffer fatal injury while operating a vehicle than any other job activity. The need for enhancing safety when driving cannot be understated. Unfortunately, improving one's own driving ability does not guarantee safety on the roadway. No matter how safe a driver is trained to be, he or she cannot control the behavior of other vehicle operators. Encountering unsafe drivers is an inevitable part of every driver's experience. This course is aimed at preparing drivers for encountering potential hazards on the roadway. It follows a three-fold approach by encouraging drivers to anticipate, recognize, and respond to driving hazards. Within this framework, topics covered include principles of defensive driving, the need for driving defensively, practical instruction on how to drive defensively, instruction on maintaining a safety zone perimeter around the driver's vehicle, and effective stopping distance. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Drivers Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: None

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES OVERVIEW Supervisors and managers have to deal with issues of employment on a daily basis, yet many have never been trained to deal with these issues such as interviewing and hiring, discrimination, sexual harassment, conflict and violence, substance abuse, performance management, employee leave, and discipline and termination. And these issues can have legal implications. As the number of legal restrictions on employers increase, so do the numbers of employees who file lawsuits against their employers. Though employment lawsuits are often found to be without merit in the end, fighting the charges can be extremely costly, in money and time. This course will provide an overview of these topics, why they are so important to managers and supervisors, and what can result from an ignorance of these issues.

FLEET PROGRAM ADJUSTING TO CHANGING CONDITIONS FOR LARGE VEHICLE OPERATORS It is an obvious fact that environmental conditions play a significant role in vehicle crashes. The most unfortunate aspect of such collisions is that oftentimes they are entirely preventable. The main culprit in these crashes is often not the effect of the environment but the drivers who failed to recognize the hazardous conditions and drive appropriately. Environmental conditions that can affect driving include weather, visibility, and road surface quality. All of these require drivers to be able to respond appropriately and suit their driving performance to make sure the vehicle handles safely under the conditions present. This course provides an overview for large vehicle operators of how to respond to changing conditions on the road and emergencies that may come up unexpectedly, such as a flat tire or a skid, to ensure safe vehicle operations.

FLEET PROGRAM AGGRESSIVE DRIVING FOR LARGE VEHICLE DRIVERS In a recent survey of current commercial motor vehicle (CMV) fleet safety managers, aggression and anger were considered the most dangerous risk factors for drivers. Unfortunately, there is good reason for this grim assessment. Aggressive driving is a serious problem on America's roadways. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that aggressive drivers cause two-thirds of all fatal crashes today. While drivers under 30 are most likely to show aggressive driving behavior at the wheel, aggressive driving is a problem that crosses generational, racial, gender, and geographic lines. Aggressive driving is a problem that threatens pedestrians, passengers, and drivers of all types of vehicles. Aggressive drivers may be unpredictable, take risks, make erratic maneuvers, and have little regard for the welfare of others. Therefore, even drivers who may not consider themselves aggressive should still learn strategies for how to avoid provoking an aggressive driving incident. This course is aimed at reducing the likelihood of large vehicle drivers becoming involved in an aggressive driving incident. It proposes strategies for avoiding both perpetrating and provoking an aggressive driving incident. The course also discusses the topic of speeding as a primary and deadly symptom of aggressive driving.

FLEET PROGRAM DANGERS OF SPEEDING Speeding is a contributing factor in nearly one-third of all fatal crashes. Since 1995 the number of deaths and injuries attributed to speed have continued to rise. Technological advances in vehicle safety and passenger protection have not been able to prevent the thousands of needless deaths each year from speed-related crashes. The best solution to the problem is to make drivers aware of the problem and to equip them to drive at safe speeds, which are the two main objectives of this course. Towards these ends, various topics are covered, including what factors influence drivers to speed, what risks arise from excessive speed, how speed affects stopping distance, what economic costs stem from speeding and aggressive driving, how to avoid becoming involved in a collision with a speeder, and what factors to consider in choosing a safe speed for vehicle operation.

FLEET PROGRAM DEFENSIVE DRIVING STRATEGIES The number one cause of work-related fatalities in the U.S. is vehicle crashes. A worker is more likely to suffer fatal injury while operating a vehicle than any other job activity. The need for enhancing safety when driving cannot be understated. Unfortunately, improving one's own driving ability does not guarantee safety on the roadway. No matter how safe a driver is trained to be, he or she cannot control the behavior of other vehicle operators. Encountering unsafe drivers is an inevitable part of every driver's experience. This course is aimed at preparing drivers for encountering potential hazards on the roadway. It follows a three-fold approach by encouraging drivers to anticipate, recognize, and respond to driving hazards. Within this framework, topics covered include principles of defensive driving, the need for driving defensively, practical instruction on how to drive defensively, instruction on maintaining a safety zone perimeter around the driver's vehicle, and effective stopping distance.

FLEET PROGRAM DISTRACTED DRIVING A brief gaze at a vehicle accident, a look down to try to read a map, a routine cell phone conversation -- these all have the potential to cause a deadly truck accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6 to 8.3 million drivers crashed in the past five years as a result of being distracted. Distracted driving is receiving increasing attention from both the media and legislators, but there is still a long way to go before drivers are fully aware of the hazards involved. Large vehicles require 20-40% more stopping distance, and when a driver's attention is diverted from the roadway ahead of the vehicle, even that distance may not be enough. Traumatic injury or fatality can be the tragic end result. This course examines the problem of distracted driving and offers solutions and prevention measures for avoiding accidents due to distracted driving. Recent case studies are also presented along with a discussion of the lessons that can be learned from each. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Employees who drive on the job.

FLEET PROGRAM DRIVER SAFETY ORIENTATION Every year, collisions cause more work-related deaths than any other type of on-the-job accident. The proliferation of electronic devices and their propensity for distraction have only increased this risk. Even crashes without fatalities can have profound effects on workplaces, disrupting productivity and leading to added costs that can impact the company’s bottom line. However, not all workplaces are as vulnerable to these types of accidents. A national survey found that organizations that follow a driver safety program and provide driver safety training have the lowest crash rates. This course highlights the steps employees can take to protect themselves when driving, whether the extent of their driving involves commuting to and from work or driving is included as part of their job responsibilities. By following a driver safety policy and complying with federal, state, and local traffic laws, workers can keep themselves and others safe on the roadways. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Individuals who operate motor vehicles on the job. Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: None FLEET PROGRAM DRIVER SAFETY ORIENTATION FOR LARGE VEHICLE DRIVERS Traffic accidents are a leading cause of incidental deaths among U.S. workers. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) more than 2,000 deaths a year are attributed to occupational motor vehicle accidents. This represents more than 30% of annual work-related fatalities. Unlike other workplaces, the roadway is an environment outside the control of the employer. Preventing work-related roadway crashes requires strategies that combine traffic safety principles and sound safety management practices. Although drivers cannot control roadway conditions, they can practice safe driving behavior by attending periodic driver training and following all motor vehicle safety laws and organizational policies regarding driver safety. Crashes are not an unavoidable part of doing business. This course highlights the steps drivers can take to protect themselves on the job.

FLEET PROGRAM PASSENGER VAN SAFETY There is growing concern regarding the safety of 15-passenger vans and the injuries and fatalities that can result. In fact, between 2000 and 2005, NHTSA has issued 4 safety warnings on these vehicles. Fifteen-passenger vans are more likely to be involved in a single-vehicle rollover crash than any other type of vehicle. Between 1990 and 2002, there were 1,576 fatal crashes involving 15-passenger vans. Compounding this problem, the rate of safety belt use among occupants of 15-passenger vans is very low compared to those in other types of vehicles, increasing the likelihood of severe injury and fatality. This course reviews the issues specific to passenger vans, such as unique vehicle characteristics, loading cargo/passengers to minimize the risk of rollover, backing safely, proper tire care, and strategies to reduce crash risks. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Supervisors and drivers of passenger vans. Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: None FLEET PROGRAM SAFE BACKING Most of a driver's time behind the wheel is spent while the vehicle is moving forward. The repetition and accumulation of experience can help make for safer drivers behind the wheel. But unfortunately this does not mean they will be equally good or safe when it comes to backing. Backing is one of the least practiced driving skills and therefore can pose a great risk, even for experienced drivers. Statistics confirm that backing a vehicle is one of the most dangerous driving activities. Despite the relatively little time spent backing compared to driving forward, backing still accounts for between 25-30% of vehicle accidents nationwide. It is not hard to see why learning, reviewing, and practicing safe backing techniques is a key part of reducing vehicle accidents. This course focuses on the various safety precautions and techniques for backing safely in a number of situations. Topics such as safe backing procedures, backing with a trailer, blind spots, adjusting mirrors, and parallel parking are covered.

Regulatory Reference: None FLEET PROGRAM SEAT BELT & AIRBAG SAFETY Over 42,000 people died nationwide in motor vehicle crashes in 2006, according to the NHTSA. In over 50% of these fatal crashes, a significant cause of death was the driver's decision not to wear their seat belts. Observational studies by the NHTSA have found that a startling 18% of vehicle occupants do not wear seat belts. Seat belts, airbags, and other safety devices are quite effective at accomplishing what they have been designed to do: save lives. But the one variable that designers and safety engineers cannot control is human behavior. Ultimately, it comes down to a choice for drivers and passengers to use these available safety technologies, taking the 3 seconds or so it requires to click the seat belt into a locked position and understand how best to take advantage of the other vehicle safety components such as airbags. If more drivers and passengers did this habitually, more lives would be spared the tragedies of injury and death. Over the past decade, 62,000 lives have been saved and over one million injuries prevented by seat belts. In 2006, an estimated 15,383 lives were saved by seat belts alone.

FLEET PROGRAM SEAT BELT & AIRBAG SAFETY FOR LARGE VEHICLE DRIVERS Over 5,099 people driving large trucks and busses died in crashes in 2007, according to the the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). 95% of these fatal crashes, involved large trucks. A major cause of truck and bus driver fatalities is being ejected from the vehicle. And while the FMCSA concludes that 65% of operators of large trucks and buses use seat belts while on the road, this means that 35% of these drivers still don't. Additionally, only 57% of commercial motor vehicle operators (CVM) use seat belts, as reported in 2007. The point cannot be stated more clearly: Regular seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in vehicle collisions.

FLEET PROGRAM SECURING MATERIALS FOR TRANSPORTATION FOR LARGE VEHICLE DRIVERS Debris scattered on a congested highway, heavy boxes shifting back and forth as the vehicle moves, a wrench lying on the passenger seat--driving with materials that are not properly secured can endanger drivers, their passengers, and others. According to the AAA Traffic Safety Foundation, over 25,000 accidents per year result from litter dumped by motorists or that falls out of vehicles throughout North America (2004). A sudden sharp stop, a tight turn, or a collision can turn materials into deadly projectiles, and cargo on a trailer or truck bed can be sent hurtling across the roadway. These scenarios can be prevented. With a little attention to safety, drivers can reduce the chance of injury, fatality, and property damage or loss. This course covers the dangers of carrying materials for large vehicle operators, whether these are within the vehicle, in a storage compartment, or in a trailer. Drivers are instructed on the basic safety considerations for securing such materials properly so that the danger they pose is reduced.

That number grows even higher when considering crashes involving motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The frequency of these incidents makes it clear that drivers need to be made aware of the unique handling and performance abilities and limitations of the different vehicle types. Armed with this knowledge, drivers may then tailor their driving to the conditions present when driving in the vicinity of these other vehicles. There are a different set of factors to consider, for example, when driving near a large truck than when driving near a motorcyclefactors such as the different vehicle sizes, their different performance abilities and limitations, and the different stopping distances they require. These are the kinds of factors that the course aims to review. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Individuals who drive on the job. Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required.

FLEET PROGRAM SHARING THE ROAD FOR LARGE VEHICLE DRIVERS A 2006 study found that drivers of large trucks and other vehicles involved in truck crashes are 10 times more likely to be the cause of the crash than other factors, such as weather, road conditions, and vehicle performance. The number of crashes involving trucks and cars averages over 200,000 per year in the U.S. That number grows even higher when considering truck and bus crashes involving motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The frequency of these incidents makes it clear that drivers need to be more cautious when driving in the vicinity of different vehicle types. There are a different set of factors to consider, forexample, when driving near a car than when driving near a motorcycle—factors such as different vehicle sizes, their different performance abilities and limitations, and the different stopping distances they require. These are the kinds of factors that the course aims to review. NOTE: General driving safety practices--such as avoiding impaired driving, avoiding aggressive driving, and following traffic laws--pertain to driving safety in all situations, not only driving situations in the vicinity of other vehicle types. For this reason these kinds of topics are not covered in this course, although certainly they should still be considered a part of general driving safety when sharing the road. They are important topics and separate courses provide more extensive coverage of these issues (e.g., Distracted Driving, Aggressive Driving , etc.).

FLEET PROGRAM VEHICLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Regularly inspecting a vehicle for problems and following a schedule of routine maintenance are critical to ensuring safety and prolonging the life of the vehicle. Unfortunately, however, the majority of vehicles on the road are not properly inspected or maintained. A recent national survey found that at least 80% of vehicles are not adequately maintained and have at least one component needing attention. This not only means that most vehicles on the roadway are not operating under optimally safe conditions, it also suggests that drivers do not recognize the need for following a regular schedule of inspecting and maintaining their vehicles. A vehicle that is not regularly inspected and maintained will gradually degrade in performance, use more gasoline or diesel, and increase the chances that future repairs will be more costly. An inadequately maintained vehicle also produces more pollution, which can reflect negatively on the organization owning the vehicle. This course focuses on drivers' responsibility to inspect their vehicles and maintain them in good working condition. Critical and pertinent topics are covered such as what to inspect, how to document inspections, the cost-saving benefits of properly maintaining a vehicle, how to check tire pressure, and how to identify common vehicle problems before they contribute to costly major mechanical failures.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION Exposure to hazardous chemicals can present numerous dangers to workers. More than 30 million workers are exposed to one or more chemical hazards across various industrial sectors. And with hundreds of new hazardous chemicals being introduced annually in addition to the estimated 650,000 already existing hazardous chemical products, the risk is increasing every year. This poses a serious problem for many workers and their employers. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), sometimes referred to as the Right-to-Know regulation, is designed to ensure that information about these dangers is shared with those who need to know. Chemical manufacturers, distributors, and importers must convey hazard information to downstream employers by means of labels on containers and safety data sheets (SDSs). In addition, all covered employers must have a hazard communication program to get this information to their employees through labels on containers, SDSs, and training. This course covers the HCS with an emphasis on what it is and how to comply, and incorporates recent changes made to the standard in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

SAFE BACKING Most of a driver's time behind the wheel is spent while the vehicle is moving forward. The repetition and accumulation of experience can help make for safer drivers behind the wheel. But unfortunately this does not mean they will be equally good or safe when it comes to backing. Backing is one of the least practiced driving skills and therefore can pose a great risk, even for experienced drivers. Statistics confirm that backing a vehicle is one of the most dangerous driving activities. Despite the relatively little time spent backing compared to driving forward, backing still accounts for between 25-30% of vehicle accidents nationwide. It is not hard to see why learning, reviewing, and practicing safe backing techniques is a key part of reducing vehicle accidents. This course focuses on the various safety precautions and techniques for backing safely in a number of situations. Topics such as safe backing procedures, backing with a trailer, blind spots, adjusting mirrors, and parallel parking are covered.

SEAT BELT & AIRBAG SAFETY Over 42,000 people died nationwide in motor vehicle crashes in 2006, according to the NHTSA. In over 50% of these fatal crashes, a significant cause of death was the driver''s decision not to wear their seat belts. Observational studies by the NHTSA have found that a startling 18% of vehicle occupants do not wear seat belts. Seat belts, airbags, and other safety devices are quite effective at accomplishing what they have been designed to do: save lives. But the one variable that designers and safety engineers cannot control is human behavior. Ultimately, it comes down to a choice for drivers and passengers to use these available safety technologies, taking the 3 seconds or so it requires to click the seat belt into a locked position and understand how best to take advantage of the other vehicle safety components such as airbags. If more drivers and passengers did this habitually, more lives would be spared the tragedies of injury and death. Over the past decade, 62,000 lives have been saved and over one million injuries prevented by seat belts. In 2006, an estimated 15,383 lives were saved by seat belts alone.

SHARING THE ROAD The number of crashes involving at least one car and one truck averages over 200,000 per year in the U.S. That number grows even higher when considering crashes involving motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The frequency of these incidents makes it clear that drivers need to be made aware of the unique handling and performance abilities and limitations of the different vehicle types. Armed with this knowledge, drivers may then tailor their driving to the conditions present when driving in the vicinity of these other vehicles. There are a different set of factors to consider, for example, when driving near a large truck than when driving near a motorcycle--factors such as the different vehicle sizes, their different performance abilities and limitations, and the different stopping distances they require. These are the kinds of factors that the course aims to review. Course Duration: 1 hour(s) Audience: Drivers Prerequisite: No prior knowledge is required. Regulatory Reference: None

VEHICLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Regularly inspecting a vehicle for problems and following a schedule of routine maintenance are critical to ensuring safety and prolonging the life of the vehicle. Unfortunately, however, the majority of vehicles on the road are not properly inspected or maintained. A recent national survey found that at least 80% of vehicles are not adequately maintained and have at least one component needing attention. This not only means that most vehicles on the roadway are not operating under optimally safe conditions, it also suggests that drivers do not recognize the need for following a regular schedule of inspecting and maintaining their vehicles. A vehicle that is not regularly inspected and maintained will gradually degrade in performance, use more gasoline or diesel, and increase the chances that future repairs will be more costly. An inadequately maintained vehicle also produces more pollution, which can reflect negatively on the organization owning the vehicle. This course focuses on drivers'' responsibility to inspect their vehicles and maintain them in good working condition. Critical and pertinent topics are covered such as what to inspect, how to document inspections, the cost-saving benefits of properly maintaining a vehicle, how to check tire pressure, and how to identify common vehicle problems before they contribute to costly major mechanical failures.

VEHICLE SAFETY AND SECURITY An unfortunate reality that any driver or fleet manager has to deal with is the security and protection of his or her vehicles. According to the FBI, a vehicle is stolen in the U.S. every 26.4 seconds. In addition to vehicle theft, a surprising amount of other causes of damage and loss of property, as well as injury and fatality to personnel, is sustained every year by vehicle operators and the organizations they represent behind the wheel. Greater attention to security and safety measures of protection should be implemented to effectively curb this trend, contain the losses, and save lives. This course is dedicated to educating drivers and vehicle managers and improving vehicle safety and security. Receiving particular emphasis in this course are the areas of preventing vehicle theft and enhancing the personal safety of vehicle occupants.
