DRIVER SAFETY — A LIFETIME OF LEARNING: In the past 20-years, the number of miles of new roads has increased only one percent, while the number of miles driven has shot up 35 percent. Combine this ever increasing number of vehicles with changing driver behavior, increased technology and heavier vehicles, and you have a continuously changing driving environment that can present many potential risks and hazards. According to the latest annual National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 27.6 million vehicles were damaged in accidents. A motor vehicle accident occurs every five seconds. An individual is injured in an accident every 11 seconds. Motor vehicles accidents are the number one cause of workplace fatalities and employee absenteeism. Driver Safety creates an awareness and respect for the hazards associated with operating a motor vehicle, emphasizes the importance of increasing your awareness of what is happening in your driving environment, and teaches skills and techniques your drivers can use to assess the risk and reduce their chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. Whether you operate a motor vehicle as past of your job function or as a means of personal transportation, the decisions you make can be the difference in safely arriving at your destination.

FORKLIFT SAFETY — THE EXPERIENCED OPERATOR: If government statistics indicate in 26% percent of all forklift accidents, the operator was not properly trained and certified, then that must mean in the other 74% of the accidents the operator was trained and certified. Safe operation begins before the operator ever starts to drive the lift truck. It begins with their mental state of mind. Aimed at experienced operators, this program communicates the importance of operating a forklift in a professional and safe manner and creates an awareness and respect for the potential hazards they may encounter. Forklift Safety establishes that the operator is not only responsible for their safety, but the safety of the people around them too. The program uses the analogy and dramatic footage of the Air Force Thunderbirds to convey this message. The Thunderbirds are experienced professionals who fly thousands of hours each year with an outstanding safety record. They understand and respect the potential hazards and take measures to control them including vehicle inspection and maintenance, hazard assessment before each flight, communication, and expected performance from each pilot. These are the same components necessary to prevent forklift incidents. Forklift Safety — the Experienced Operator will motivate your drivers to use the operating skills and techniques they've been taught to prevent accidents and injuries. (14 minutes)

LOCKOUT — TAGOUT PROCEDURES: A person wouldn't work at a place where they spin a lottery wheel each day to see if they get injured, yet millions of workers inspecting, adjusting, servicing or maintaining equipment and machinery take the same risk every day when they elect not to isolate energy sources before placing themselves in harms way. It is estimated that over 100 workers are seriously injured every day due to failure to lockout — tagout equipment. This program covers the purpose of lockout — tagout, the hazards associated with the accidental release of stored energy, proper lockout — tagout procedures for attaining zero energy state, proper startup procedures and special situations. Lockout — Tagout Procedures creates an awareness and respect for the hazards and motivates your workers to follow best practices to prevent accidents and ensure their safety. (14 minutes)

HAND SAFETY — YOU CONTROL IT: A hand injury occurs in the workplace every 32-seconds. Though they usually do not grab the headlines and are not fatal in nature, over 16 million individuals seek emergency care each year for hand injuries. Hands are often in the forefront of the specific task being performed and thus exposed to more risks. This program educates your employees on the different types of hand injuries that can occur, how to recognize common hazards found in the workplace and preventive measures to take to protect their hands. Safety is a personal responsibility. A hand injury can occur in a moment, but affect you for a lifetime. This program will motivate your workers to use best practices to prevent hand injuries.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION: In today's litigious society, we begin to take cautions, warnings and disclaimers from manufacturers with a touch of skepticism or disregard. When it comes to hazardous chemicals in the work place, words, colors and symbols mean something. Not only is it your workers' right, it is their responsibility to know what they mean. This program will teach your employees to recognize and understand the different means of communication used to identify hazardous chemicals including the United Nation's new Globally Harmonized System. The training program will educate your workers on the physical characteristics and chemical properties communicated in the material safety data sheets and on the container labels enabling them to make proper decisions concerning the safe use handling and storage of the substances. The program covers the purpose and role of hazard communication, the different classification of chemicals and their hazards, the primary forms of communication, and best practices and procedures to ensure their safety and health. Chemicals are an intricate and valuable part of our life. When respected and handled properly, they pose minimum risk to our safety and health. Knowledge is a valuable safety tool.   Not only is it your workers' right to know, it is their responsibility to use it to protect their safety and that of their co-workers. (16 minutes)

HEARING CONSERVATION — YOU DECIDE WHAT TO HEAR: Excessive noise exposure is the most frequent cause of hearing loss. Approximately 30 million workers are exposed to hazardous noise on the job and millions more off the job. Hearing loss is one of the most common occupational diseases and the second most self-reported occupational injury or illness. Yet, because noise induced hearing loss occurs over a period of time and is not associated with instant pain and suffering, it is one of the least recognized and respected hazards by workers. In this program your employees will learn how their body hears sound and the affects excessive noise has on them. It wi ll teach them techniques for identifying hazardous noise and educate them on best practices and procedures to reduce their exposure. Hearing Conservation — You Decide What to Hear will motivate your workers to recognize and respect the hazards and instill that they are responsible for taking proper measures to protect their hearing.

OVEREXERTION: Engineers and maintenance personnel know from experience that moving parts in equipment and machinery, if not properly used and maintained, are subject to wear and tear. Yet when it comes to our own bodies, we often think of them as indestructible. Overexertion type injuries are the highest percentage of worker compensations costs representing nearly 30 cents of every $1 in claims paid. These types of injuries are often associated with lifting, pushing, pulling, tossing and handling material. In this effective and motivational program, your employees will learn how the body functions, risk factors associated with overexertion type injuries, and preventive measures they can utilize to reduce their exposure and prevent injuries. The program teaches the impact their posture can have on their body and the cumulative affect of improper lifting techniques.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: What do traffic light and respirators have in common? Besides having saved millions of lives, they were both invented and patented by the same man. Sometimes it is difficult to respect a hazard you can't see or one that may take years to affect you. Resp irators can provide protection, but only if they are worn and used properly. Respiratory Protection creates an awareness and respect for the hazards by demonstrating with highly effective 3-D graphics how the respiratory system works and the effects of different hazards. The program covers proper use, care and maintenance of air-purifying respirators and the importance of proper selection and fit. Respiratory Protection will educate and motivate your worker on when and how to properly use their air-purifying respirator. (14 minutes)

SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS: When most people think of workplace injuries they visualize high-risk activities. Slips, trips and falls are the second-leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities.
