Respiratory Protection
This course will focus on workplace use of respirators and the responsibilities of those who have a need or requirement to wear respirators in the performance of their work. Respiratory hazards of air contaminants will be examined and discussed using the basic model for hazard management: anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control. The respiratory protection program requirements of 29 CFR 1910.134 will be discussed. The annual qualitative fit testing will also be performed as part of this course (please bring your existing respirator to the course). Need to be clean shaven where respirator meets skin.
Accident Investigation for Supervisors
Have you ever conducted an investigation for an employee who was hurt on the job? How about you did conduct an investigation of an injured employee and wrote on the form as a preventative measure that you told the employee to be more careful? Supervisors are encouraged to conduct investigations for injuries, accidents, property damage involving an employee, near miss incidents, etc. This training course is designed to enable supervisors to perform a complete investigation for these types of incidents as well as help them understand how to get down to the root cause of an incident so that preventative measures once implemented are the most effective they can be in preventing reoccurrences.
Radiation Safety
This Radiation Safety training will include principles of radioactivity, Federal and State regulations, University policies and procedures, waste management, and emergency response. This training session is intended for Faculty who plan to use radioactive isotopes in instruction or research, or who may need a refresher course on radiation or information about local procedures. This session is also intended for laboratory technicians or graduate students working in laboratories using isotopes.

Procedures for safe operation and use of lasers have been developed in consultation with principal users of lasers on this campus, and are consistent with standards set forth by the American National Standards Institute. This training seminar will present the institutional policies and provide guidance in their implementation. Persons presently working or who intend to work in facilities that use lasers, especially those classified by the manufacturer as Class 3 or 4, must attend this training.
The fall protection standard is designed to prevent workers from falling off, into or through working levels and to protect employees from being struck by falling objects. Work place hazards that require the use of a fall protection system include, but are not limited to: walking or working on unprotected sides and edges, leading edges, unprotected holes, and roofs 6 feet or more above a lower level. Other fall protection hazards exist when working on scaffolds, ladders, and aerial work platforms. This training is designed for Facilities Services and other maintenance personnel who work in these conditions as well as those employees who interface with outside contractors who work in these conditions. The training will include; an overview of fall protection hazards and control measures, the importance of fall protection systems including fall related injuries, a brief summary of the OSHA standards relating to fall protection, an overview of BGSU’s written Fall Protection Program, and an explanation of how Environmental Health and Safety can assist areas and departments in implementation of the program.
Laboratory Safety for Non-Principal Investigators
If you work in a laboratory on campus that uses chemicals and you have not received this training from our department, we request your attendance to this session. Information will be provided on the University's Chemical Hygiene Plan, required by law, in accordance with the Public Employment Risk Reduction Act. Topics to be discussed include but are not limited to chemical and waste management, proper housekeeping, proper use of fume hoods, electrical safety, emergency response, compressed gas cylinder management, standard laboratory procedures, and general laboratory safety and health topics.
Lab Safety for Principal Investigators
If you are in charge of a laboratory that uses chemicals, this training is designed to make you aware of your responsibilities under the University’s Chemical Hygiene Plan, required by law, in accordance with the Public Employment Risk Reduction Act. If you have never attended this training before, we request your attendance. Responsibilities covered include, but are not limited to, monthly inspections, specific standard operating procedures for particularly hazardous substances, enforcement of safety policies, responding to annual walkthroughs Environmental Health and Safety conducts, and how Environmental Health and Safety can assist with safety concerns.
Some examples of confined spaces include pits, vaults, tanks, pipe chases, manholes, tunnels, etc. This session is designed for employees who enter these types of spaces to perform work or who assist others working in these spaces. Those who fit this description are not required to be trained on an annual basis, however, it is strongly encouraged. This session will cover requirements of the Public Employment Risk Reduction Act, a review of terms, definitions, BGSU permit and non-permit confined space locations, proper air monitoring levels, rescue procedures, a brief overview of equipment use and set-up, etc.
Chemical and Radioactive Spills
This training session will explain the procedures that need to be followed when a chemical or radioactive spill occurs in a laboratory.
Tornado safety training will include tornado terminology, conditions and shelter information.
Explains emergency and evacuation procedures in the event of a fire. This session will also provide information on fire alarm systems at BGSU and on the use of fire extinguishers on small fires.
Explains how hazardous wastes are identified and how they must be managed. Will provide information on procedures of collection, transportation, and disposal. Various methods of waste minimization are also described.
MAXIMUM OF 10 PEOPLE: This training session is designed for employees who have already attended a PIT course through Environmental Health and Safety at BGSU and simply need a refresher. A brief overview of the main safety and operational points will be discussed, as well as engaging scenarios to provoke thought in a classroom setting. Following the classroom training, there will be individual driving tests that will need to be passed in order to receive a licensure renewal. This course is required every three years.
If you are a new employee or have never completed the initial training for Powered Industrial Trucks, please contact Bess Huyghe (372-9601 or bhuyghe@bgsu.edu).
