The class covers recognizing hazardous materials in the workplace, reading labels and material safety data sheets (MSDSs), understanding common terms and categories of hazardous chemicals, and learning how to work safely with general types of chemicals. Other topics covered include personal protective equipment selection, what to do in the event of an emergency (fire, tornado, medical emergency or spill), management of hazardous waste, and a brief overview of infectious hazards and bloodborne pathogens hazard awareness. The course meets the OSHA\/MIOSHA requirement for employee training. Additional specific departmental training is usually required and is provided by the employee\u2019s supervisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1e_7-AjwyQCB6UQw9ksFArxiL9NHXPwbu34A1tSEFoQ0\/edit\">UM-Flint Hazard Communication Guidelines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Hazardous\/Regulated Waste Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This course covers the regulatory requirements for properly managing hazardous\/regulated waste materials and preparing them for disposal. EHS requires select individuals from various departments to attend this training annually so that departments generating hazardous waste have a designated individual(s) knowledgeable about proper storage, handling, and disposal requirements. EHS is ultimately responsible for coordinating the management of hazardous\/regulated waste materials with a licensed waste contractor, transport, and disposal site. Departments are required to work with EHS when coordinating these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Hearing Conservation Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This training course is often combined with Hazard Communication as a refresher course that is required for employees who are working in loud work environments that exceed 85 dbA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Respiratory Protection Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This course is offered several times a year for employees who are required to, or may need to, wear respiratory protection in the course of performing their job duties. Topics covered include identifying respiratory hazards, resources available to identify hazards and make the most appropriate selection of respirator for a particular task, reviewing the UM guidelines, discussion of selection, maintenance and general use of respirators, their limitations, when to know if the respirator has failed, what to do in an emergency and much more.\u00a0The class also discusses the physical requirements and the need for a medical evaluation. The course meets the OSHA\/MIOSHA requirement for employee training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Spill Prevention, Control, &amp; Countermeasure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees who handle oil need to be trained in regulations on spills, releases, and pollution control procedures; the general contents of the UM-Flint SPCC\/PIPP document; and the general operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges. The level of employee training depends on the person\u2019s level of responsibility for spill prevention or control. EHS will provide training for supervisors and employees. Supervisors can provide training to their employees on their specific departmental protocols\/procedures. This can take the form of Informal briefings held periodically to ensure adequate understanding of the SPCC\/PIPP and to update employees on changes to regulations, laws, or in-house procedures. All training must be documented, and copies of training records should be forwarded to EHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1bxngt-t_tTUvZq8QGKOGSvkE4EusIzJFMsydi7immGA\/edit?usp=sharing\">UM-Flint SPCC Prevention Plan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to EHS Training Classes Environment, Health &amp; Safety offers a wide variety of health and safety training to keep employees informed on important health &amp; safety topics and to encourage healthy and safe behaviors and work practices as well as maintain regulatory compliance.
