The Security Hazard Awareness simulation is ideal for employees or supervisors in general industries.

A scaffold serves as a temporary framework enabling workers to carry out tasks at elevated levels. They are essential in construction, maintenance, planned shutdowns, and various other high-altitude work activities.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that scaffold-related incidents cause approximately 60 fatalities and 4,500 injuries annually. Falls from scaffolds contribute to around 25% of fatal falls from all work surfaces, leading to an estimated 60 deaths each year due to scaffold-related accidents.

Learning Objectives

The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures to follow when working on or around scaffolding. Users will learn:

  • How to identify common scaffolding hazards
  • Preventing accidents on the job site
  • The role of the scaffolding competent person
  • How to avoid common injuries’ associated with scaffolding
  • Protocol for working around scaffolding

The scaffolding awareness simulation is ideal for current and future employees or supervisors who work in or around scaffolding on a construction site.

Annually, thousands of individuals in the US suffer injuries caused by electricity. At times, workers may come across equipment and circuits that are powered or pose a risk of being energized during their tasks. Without adequate precautions, an arc flash incident can occur.

An arc flash, also known as a flashover, is an electrical discharge or explosion arising from a connection through the air to the ground or another voltage phase within an electrical setup. For instance, this happens when a wire comes into contact with an earthed system. Working near or within electrical panels and systems heightens the risk of exposure to an arc flash, necessitating extreme safety measures.

Learning Objectives

The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures while performing work activities around electrical areas. The user will learn:

  • The proper locking out and tagging out electrical equipment
  • How to properly do a Live – Dead – Live check
  • Practices that can eliminate or minimize electrical hazards
  • The proper use of electrical test equipment
  • Electrical fundamentals
  • Properly managing arc flash risks
  • Electrical safety Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The simulation is ideal for personnel working in and around hazardous electrical areas.

The Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) recently hosted an exclusive Process Control Technical Work Group meeting at Endress+Hauser headquarters in Greenwood, Indiana. The meeting brought together experts in the process control and instrumentation industry to help validate certification standards for process control in areas such as process control systems, process control troubleshooting, and smart process instrumentation.

In this video, SACA Executive Director Jim Wall and Endress+Hauser Director of Workforce Development Nicole Otte discuss the importance of industry experts providing input on the skills and competencies needed for today’s smart manufacturing workforce. Collaboration with industry experts is essential to create nationally-recognized, occupation-driven certifications that will ensure that future workers have the skills employers need most.

According to Wall, “The whole goal of having the standards and certifications program is to help schools and colleges and other training providers develop and expand programs that include these new technologies, so that we get more people with these skills into the workforce.”

Ladder safety is a key aspect of fall prevention. According to the CDC, 81% of fall injuries, which is the leading source of fatalities among construction site workers, involve the use of ladders. As such, it’s important to remember and follow ladder safety best practices. Ladder Training isn’t considered a necessity by law, but the importance is often overlooked. The HSE recommends that anyone using ladders needs to be competent and carrying out officially certified training is one way to do this. Teaching the basics of ladder health and safety can help prevent potential injuries and inform others on how to identify if a ladder is a potential risk.

Learning Objectives

The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures to follow when using ladders in a work environment. The user will learn:

  • To identify hazards associated with ladder use
  • How to select the correct ladder for the job
  • How to inspect a ladder for defects
  • How to practice proper safety procedures
  • To see the consequences of improper actions

The Ladder Safety simulation is ideal for employees or supervisors who work in or around work environments that utilize ladders.
