Description
This course covers important concepts in the realm of construction and workplace safety. This course is designed to cater to Project Engineers, Construction Personnel, Construction Supervision, Principals/Owners of Construction Firms and Construction Administrative Staff. This course begins with the importance of safety, supported by safety statistics, and clarifies “myths” about the need for safe practices at work and home.
Most mainstream PPE, Personal Protective Equipment and their proper use are introduced through illustrations and in-class discussion. The importance of Workplace Environmental Safety and Health - namely, indoor air quality - is covered with emphasis on HVAC Systems and Mold Issues, as pertinent to residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The latter part of this course deals with one of the most significant hazards in almost any environment, “fire.”
