Rainwater that enters a surface water body, by flowing either overland or through a storm sewer system, is called storm water or storm water runoff. Storm water runoff is one of the leading causes of pollution in rivers and lakes. Identifying sources of storm water pollution and keeping them from coming in contact with runoff is the best and most economical way to protect the quality of the nation's waters. The content in this course is designed to comply with the intent of the applicable regulatory requirements. Learner objectives are to: describe common storm water pollutants, identify categories covered under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination, and discuss methods of preventing storm water pollution. Safety and Health - Course 1 Duration: 0.5 Hours Accidents in the workplace can prove costly to both victims and companies in the form of lost wages, lost productivity, lawsuits, and fines. In order to properly resolve accidents and prevent future occurrences, companies must act quickly in the aftermath of an incident. Trained investigators must be on hand to collect data, interview victims and witnesses, and report findings to management.The Accident Investigation and Reporting Simulation is designed to help supervisors and employees investigate accidents, report findings, and recommend a means of prevention. Over the course of the simulation, participants will practice a series of accident investigation skills, encompassing the objectives of fact finding, interviewing witnesses, and problem solving and reporting.The Accident Investigation and Reporting Simulation comprises one scenario and is based on the SkillSoft series "Safety and Health." Throughout the simulation links are provided to the following SkillSoft course: SAH0402. Safety and Health - Course 2 Duration: 1 Hours This one hour training contains information regarding employee rights of access to medical and exposure records in order to promote the recognition of workplace hazards and subsequently reduce occupational disease. The content in this course is designed to comply with the intent of the applicable regulatory requirements. Course objectives include: state the purpose for maintaining medical and exposure records; identify employer responsibilities in providing employee access to medical and exposure records; recognize the characteristics and terms related to medical and exposure records; and recall requirements and policies associated with access to medical and exposure records.
