In order to recognize the hazards posed by compressed gas cylinders, you must first be able to recognize the specific parts of the cylinder and have a general knowledge of how these things work. Compressed gas cylinders can pose the hazard of an explosion when the metal pressure vessel fails. A common factor in that scenario is the misuse or abuse of the cylinder or valve while it is under pressure. Another hazard is the sudden release of pressure from the cylinder, as mentioned above. The purpose of this lesson is to address the hazards inherent in compressed gas and provide best practices for using, moving, and storing compressed gas containers. -

Bloodborne pathogens are viruses carried in human blood and other body fluids that cause disease in people. There are many different bloodborne pathogens, including malaria and syphilis, but the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), and hepatitis C (HCV) viruses, which can each lead to liver cancer, pose the most serious threat of workplace exposure. Perhaps no other profession is more at risk of the hazards posed by bloodborne pathogens than the medical profession, but that’s not to say that awareness and prevention measures shouldn’t be prevalent in all workplaces, because the price of ignorance can be very costly and simple understanding of some bloodborne pathogen basics, really can save lives. The goal of this training course is to educate employees to minimize their exposure to bloodborne pathogens. -

Common hazards associated with pallet jack operation include falling objects (struck by hazards). Loads can fall, and operators can too. If you move a loaded pallet jack too quickly, over uneven floors, or on inclines, the load may topple. You could be injured if the load falls, and the load and/or the workplace may be damaged. Straining to move a stuck pallet jack or failing to maintain control on an incline can cause the operator to slip and fall. This lesson focuses on the safe operation of both manual and powered hydraulic pallet jacks. -

Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H2S. It is an extremely hazardous gas whose marker is the smell of rotten eggs. It is colorless and very dangerous when high concentrations are inhaled. Hydrogen sulfide is highly flammable and explodes easily near lit matches, cigarettes, and other sources of spark or heat. Although only a little irritating at lower concentrations, hydrogen sulfide exposure can result in death. The most likely and dangerous exposure pathway is through inhalation of hydrogen sulfide gas, however, there are some instances where contact is made with the skin. Contact with the skin can result in frostbite or burns. -

This lesson provides general guidance for safe material storage practices to include racking and stacking to ensure stability and reduce the risk of injury, housekeeping, and lifting and handling best practices. -
Workers loading and unloading materials should be instructed in safe procedures appropriate to the material they handle. Truck or rail tank car loading or the unloading of flammable/combustible liquids is one of the most hazardous operations likely to be undertaken at any manufacturing or storage facility. Workers engaged in the loading or unloading of suspension-type highway trailers may be at an increased risk of injury due to the inability of damaged trailers to support the weight of the powered industrial truck used to load or unload the trailer. The goal of this lesson is create awareness of these hazards and to provide knowledge to the learner on how to avoid accidents and/or injury. -
