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). There is a maximum of 10 employee per session.
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.

Laboratory Safety and Health/Chemical Hygiene Plan
If you work in a laboratory on campus that uses chemicals and you have not received formal laboratory safety and health 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.
Information will be provided on the University's Fall Protection Program, required by law, in accordance with the Public Employment Risk Reduction Act. This 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 supervisors of employees who walk or work on surfaces 6 feet or more above a lower level (Facilities Services and other maintenance personnel) and who interface with outside contractors. 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.
Laser Safety
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 meeting.
Topics to be covered include:
A. Institutional guidelines for operation and use of lasers at BGSU
B. Fundamentals of laser operation and characteristics of laser radiation
C. Biological effects of laser radiation on the eye and skin
D. Standard operating procedures for the laboratory setting
E. Personal protective equipment for users and related facilities
F. Signs and labels for rooms where lasers are located
G. Emergency procedures
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.

Confined Space Awareness Review
This training session is a review for those employees who have already attended the comprehensive pre-job confined space training. If you never attended a confined space training session through our department, contact us at 372-2171 to schedule one. 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.
Tornado Safety
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 provides information on procedures of collection, transportation, and disposal. Various methods of waste minimization are also described.
This training is required every three years. Information will be provided on the University’s Powered Industrial Truck Program, required by law, in accordance with the Public Employment Risk Reduction Act. A powered industrial truck is an industrial vehicle that carries, pushes, pulls, stacks or tiers loads. Powered industrial trucks include fork trucks, tractors, platform lift trucks, motorized hand trucks, and other specialized industrial trucks powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines. This standard does not apply to farm vehicles or vehicles intended for earth moving or over-the-road hauling.
This training is designed for supervisors of positions who operate powered industrial trucks to teach them what is required of employees using the machines. The training is also good for those individuals who will be operating the powered industrial trucks. The training does not always certify operators of the powered industrial trucks but teaches them what the law requires, safe operation, handling of loads and general use. Supervisors are responsible for observing operators to ensure their competency on driving the lift as well as proper technique and safety. The Supervisor is the person responsible for authorizing use of the machine and certifying the operators. This training will include; the importance of the powered industrial truck program and procedures; a summary of the OSHA powered industrial truck standard; an overview of the BGSU written powered industrial truck program and an explanation of how Environmental Health and Safety can assist departments. On some occasions, operators of powered industrial trucks will be given the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency on the machine that they commonly would use.
