Class Name	Course Description
Security Guard III Private Investigator	In this course you will review responsibilities to clients, private investigation laws, fair credit reporting laws, investigations and surveillance. Price includes first attempt at written certification test.
Silica Awareness (OLT)	Silica is a very common ingredient found in all kinds of products. In recent years, the rising number of silica-related illnesses has caused the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to pay closer attention to silica exposure in the workplace. Workers who successfully complete this course will be able to identify common materials containing crystalline silica, and the hazards associated with crystalline silica exposure. They will also demonstrate knowledge of the health effects associated with crystalline silica exposure, and measures that can be taken to eliminate or minimize crystalline silica exposure on the job. This course is designed for workers in the oil and gas, construction and general industries who may, in the course of performing their duties, come in contact with materials that may contain breathable crystalline silica particles.
Slips/Trips/Falls in Retail Sales (OLT)	Slips, trips and falls are a major source of injury in U.S. workplaces. According to the Department of Labor, slips, trips and falls are the most common type of accident in the workplace and are responsible for around 25% of all reported injuries. These injuries aren’t always minor either; slips, trips and falls are the second leading cause of accidental death in the workplace. This course will teach employees about slip, trip and fall hazards and what they can do to minimize or eliminate those hazards. Employees will learn to identify general OSHA safety requirements, guarding for floor and wall openings, issues with stairways, ladder, scaffolds, loading docks and how personal behavior affects safety. This course is specifically designed for workers in the retail industry and contains examples and scenarios relevant to the retail environment. This course is intended to assist the employer in meeting the requirements of OSHA’s standards for walking and working surfaces.
Spill Response for Oil and Gas Personnel (OLT)	Oil and gas exploration and production sites carry a risk of causing harm to public health or the environment in the form of spills and other releases. While oil and gas companies will have very specific protocol for dealing with emergency releases, field personnel are often responsible for responding to smaller, incidental releases. Learners who successfully complete this course will demonstrate the ability to identify the difference between incidental and emergency releases, identify recommended release-prevention measures, and identify proper incident-release response measures. This course is intended for oil and gas employees that may come across a spill while working on the job, and can help employers comply with the Oil Pollution Act and EPA regulations on spill prevention and control.
Stop Work Authority (OLT)	According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are roughly 150,000 construction site workers injured each year. Many of these accidents are preventable. If a worker recognizes a situation in which there is the potential for themselves or a coworker being injured, or if there is a potential of a release of a contaminant to the environment, that worker has a responsibility to stop the work that is being done until the potential danger has been removed and the issue resolved. Upon completion of this course, the learner will demonstrate the ability to identify the elements of a stop work authority program and employee responsibilities in a stop work authority program. This course is presented in English and Spanish.
Understanding Respiratory Protection and Fit Testing	Many work environments can involve airborne particles that could be hazardous if inhaled. Airborne viruses, hazardous chemical fumes, and even some types of dust particles can cause injury or illness if workers breathe them in. If the atmosphere becomes hazardous to breathe, employees may require respiratory protection. This course will cover: •Risk factors for respiratory illness and injury •Qualitative vs. Quantitative fit tests •Types of masks •Process for getting fit testing done
Wildlife Safety for the Oil and Gas Industry (OLT)	Oil and gas field work often takes place in remote locations, and there is a good chance that workers may come into contact with wildlife on the job. Wild animals can attack people, transmit diseases and damage property, so it is important for workers to know what to do when they encounter wild animals in the field. This course is designed to teach oil and gas workers how to identify various types of dangerous and nuisance animals common to North America, the hazards they present, and the standard precautions to take if these animals are encountered. This course is intended for all employees who may encounter wild animals in the course of their duties. This course is available in both English and Spanish.
Winter Safety for Oil and Gas Personnel (OLT)	Jobs in the oil and gas industry often require driving and working outdoors. In some cases, this means working or driving in extreme temperatures or conditions. Workers who successfully complete this course will be able to identify the factors that contribute to heat loss, the adverse effects of cold stress and how to treat them, preventative measures to avoid cold stress, the winter-related hazardous road conditions and safe driving practices, and how to prepare for hazardous driving conditions. This course is intended for oil and gas workers who are required to work or drive in hazardous winter-weather conditions.
Work Zone and Flagger Safety (OLT)	Despite the many precautions taken by companies and workers, road work zones are still inherently hazardous. Being prepared for what you might experience on a work site is an important part of staying safe. When learners have completed this course, they should be able to recognize work zone hazards and safe flagging operations. Learners should also be able to recognize work zone protections and pedestrian safety measures. OLT
Working Alone Safely (OLT)	Many employees work by themselves for at least part of their shifts, including delivery drivers, janitorial and housekeeping workers, home health workers, and many night shift employees. Working alone comes with its own safety and security hazards, and those hazards vary widely from job to job. It’s important for lone workers to know all of their responsibilities and what to do during an emergency so they can safely perform their job duties without supervision. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to recognize who lone workers are and the hazards they may face. Learners should also be able to identify requirements and best practices for working alone.
Working Towards a Positive Safety Culture	Join us as we kick off Safety Week 2023! We invite you to join us for breakfast to hear from industry expert David Burnett on why it is important to have a positive safety culture in every business. When we say that "safety is everyone's responsibility," we mean it. It's important that all levels and leadership of an organization - from the frontline worker to the finance office - understand how safety initiatives affect recruitment and retention, liability, and the bottom line. During this breakfast, we will also recognize Autry Tech's annual safety partners as well as have a moment of silence for those who lost their lives last year in safety incidents. Breakfast is provided. RSVP is requested.
