Not your Father’s Workplace – New Challenges in Occupational and Environmental Safety & Health

Climate Change

Global warming is having a profound impact on our world. The resulting changes of climate can significantly affect occupational health and safety – exacerbating the effects of heat and cold-related occupational illnesses, respiratory exposure, exposure to indoor and outdoor pollutants, exposure to ultraviolent rays for outdoor workers, and more. Courses on the impact of climate change on workers will be in development soon.

Green Chemistry

Green, or sustainable, chemistry is a rapidly expanding field that seeks to reduce the generation of hazardous substances by using more environmentally benign materials and processes. Green chemistry has its own occupational and environmental health challenges. A New Webinar Series on Green Chemistry will begin January 2010.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology relates to matter so small it approaches molecular scale. With more industries finding uses for nanotechnology, it is critical that the health effects of these tiny particles on workers who create or work with nanoparticles be recognized, measured, evaluated and controlled. UCLA is a Center of Excellence for Nanotechnology. A New Webinar Series on Nanotechnology will begin January 2010.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is fitting the task to the person, adjusting how a job is done to prevent musculoskeletal and other injuries. Injuries due to Ergonomic Stress are more costly than all other injury causes combined! We offer a variety of ergonomics courses including two monthly online webinars, short courses and symposia. Two new series will begin January 2010.

Disaster/Terrorism

Geopolitical conflicts impact everyone. All worksites are vulnerable to natural and biological disasters. Some worksites are more vulnerable as targets because of their nature or location. The Program offers several disaster related courses including Preparing Your Business to Survive Pandemic Flu and other Disasters.

Yet the old hazards remain

Transportation Accidents

In today's business it isn't enough just to have a basic fleet safety program. An effective fleet safetly program requires making sure you hire the right employee who has the right knowledge, skills and attitude.

Slips, Trips and Falls

Often overlooked, but 22% of slip/fall injuries resulted in more than 31 days away from work. We offer a number of related regular and webinar courses including Preventing Costly, Workplace Accidents by Perfecting Your IIPP (Injury Illness Prevention Program).

Workplace Violence

Nearly 2 million workers per year are victims of violent crime while on the job. Our 1/2 day Workplace Violence prevention class provides a programmatic way to address the problem.

Chemical, Biological, Electrical ... the list goes on

Workers encounter a variety of hazards in the workplace. We offer a variety of courses including Preventing Costly, Workplace Accidents by Perfecting Your IIPP (Injury Illness Prevention Program) and Accidents Don't Just Happen — Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis as well as more advanced courses on specific types of hazards.

Save lives, limbs, jobs and resources.
