CAMSAFETY Training

CAMSAFETY offers several safety training opportunities, from a full OSHA 30-Hour course to a two-hour Asbestos Awareness class.

Free Training

CAMSAFETY also offers on-site, hands-on training modules through our MIOSHA-CET grant, click here for more details.

Our regularly scheduled classes include:

OSHA 10-Hour

This program is designed to provide participants with a basic understanding of the hazards present in most construction projects.  Participants will be able to identify, and then avoid, reduce, or eliminate job hazards.  In addition, they will become more familiar with required record keeping and MIOSHA enforcement procedures.  Special emphasis is placed on those areas that are the most hazardous.  Upon completion of the course, the student will receive an OSHA Construction Safety and Health 10-hour course completion card.

Instructors:
Patrick Sullivan, Construction Safety Consultant - MIOSHA, CET
Joe Forgue – CAMSAFETY

OSHA 30-Hour

This course is for construction industry personnel and will cover OSHA policies, procedures and standards as well as construction safety and health principles. Topics include the scope and application of the OSHA construction standards. Special emphasis is placed on those areas that are the most hazardous, using OSHA standards as a guide. Upon completion of the course, the student will receive an OSHA construction safety and health 30-hour course completion card.  In October OSHA revamped much of this course, this class has been updated to comply with those changes.

Asbestos Awareness Training

Construction trades routinely renovate and demolish buildings that were built prior to 1980.  These construction activities often result in contact with asbestos-containing materials.  Asbestos Awareness Training is required annually for employees whose work activities may involve contact but not disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) or presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACM). A “2 Hour” Awareness card will be given to each participant.

Joe Forgue – CAMSAFETY

FIRST AID, CPR & AED

This course, presented and certified by the National Safety Council, teaches the principles of basic life support for adults, children, and infants. The course details how to perform one-rescuer CPR and rescue breathing, and how to manage choking in a conscious person. It also addresses infection control. The AED portion of the program details key precautions. It explains how AEDs work and why they’re a critical part of emergency cardiac care.

Additional Class Offerings:

These classes are not routinely scheduled, but are available either at CAMTEC or at member locations and/or jobsites:

Avoiding Electrocution in Construction

Putting one’s finger in a light socket does not make a lot of sense. Going into a ‘charged’ workplace can be almost as dangerous as falling into a pit of vipers. Avoid the obvious and not so obvious as we clarify some of the cautions you may be aware of on the jobsite.

Developing a Construction Safety & Health Management System (SHMS)

Are your workers wearing shorts to the jobsite? Are they wearing sporty or comfy shoes or the recommended OSHA-regulation steel-toed boots? Do your workers utilize fall protective bungees while working on tall beams? This course will change your view of safety and safe work habits forever. Fact-finding in this class will show that safe work habits will not only save you time and money, but life and limbs, as well.

Excavations Safety

This workshop will provide an overview of MIOSHA Part 9, Excavations, Trenching and Shoring. In addition, the electrical hazards and applicable regulations associates will be discussed, as well as identifying hazards at their workplace associated with mobile equipment. This will be followed by a question and answer session.

Construction Fall Protection

Attendees will review the MIOSHA Part 45 Construction Safety Standard for Protection including the latest OSHA and MIOSHA interpretations. Examination of recent fatal falls in construction and discussion of the latest fall protection techniques for construction will be covered. This will be followed by a question and answer session.

When MIOSHA Visits: Top 25 Serious Violations in Construction

This session instructs how to spot employees and jobsites for key violations. Session will be followed by a question and answer session.

MIOSHA Recordkeeping

Whether you have injuries or not, when you have 10 or more employees you are covered under MIOSHA Administrative Rules Part 11: Recordkeeping and Reporting of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. This session is designed to help you ensure that your organization complies with MIOSHA recordkeeping requirements. We’ll discuss what makes an injury recordable, and actually fill out information to calculate rates and how to interpret them.
