Our
"Accident Investigation"
Program teaches employees steps
that are taken in an accident
investigation, and highlights
how important it is for
employees to fully cooperate
with any inquiry. It also points
out that while an
investigation's focus is to
determine the cause of an
accident, the overall goal is to
prevent similar accidents from
happening again. The Program
includes information on the
goals of an accident
investigation, securing an
accident scene,
"root-cause" analysis,
the importance of investigative
interviews, assisting in an
accident investigation, the
importance of warning signs in
accident prevention, reporting
the "near misses", the
role of policies, equipment and
training on accident prevention,
and more. |

workplace accidents by paying
attention to safety housekeeping
considerations. Good safety
housekeeping can significantly
reduce accidents and injuries in
any type of work environment. By
developing good safety habits,
and by being aware of their work
environment and any hazards
associated with it, employees
can help to create a much safer
workplace. The Program includes
information on safety awareness,
handling rubbish and excess
materials, keeping aisles and

Compliance Training Program
discusses the plans and
procedures necessary to safely
contain and cleanup a hazardous
materials spill. Hazardous
materials and waste are part of
many work situations, and can be
found on many types of job
sites. OSHA feels that it is so
important for employees to know
how to recognize these
potentially dangerous substances
(as well as how to handle and
dispose of them properly) they
have mandated that anyone
working with these substances
receive comprehensive training
in this area. In 1976, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
to regulate the handling of
hazardous waste "from
cradle to grave". Since
then other regulations have
followed, including OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.120, also known as
HAZWOPER. As part of these
regulations, there are varying
requirements for employee
training, depending on an
employee's specific level of
involvement with hazardous
materials. Areas covered in the
program include the hazard
communication program, the
emergency response plan, the
five levels of HAZWOPER
emergency response training,
personal protective equipment,
site characterization, spill
cleanup, decontamination
procedures, and more ... and is
approximately two hours of
classroom training. |

Our
"The ANSI Material
Safety Data Sheet"
Program has been specifically
created to educate employees
about the ANSI MSDS format.
The American National
Standards Institute (ANSI),
working with the Chemical
Manufacturer's Association
(CMA), has developed the first
standard format for Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
While this new MSDS format is
not required under the OSHA
Hazard Communication Standard,
OSHA is encouraging its use.
Perhaps as important, most of
the large chemical
manufacturers in the United
States appear to be adopting
this MSDS format. The Program
includes information on the
importance of the MSDS, the
MSDS's role in the hazard
communication standard,
advantages of the ANSI format,
the four basic questions the
ANSI MSDS is designed to
answer, review of the sections
in the ANSI material safety
data sheet, and more.
*Our
"The ANSI Material Safety
Data Sheet" HAZWOPER
Compliance Training Program
educates employees about the
ANSI MSDS format and reviews how
the information in an MSDS can
help them work safely with
potentially hazardous chemicals.
Hazardous materials and waste

Our
"Material Safety Data
Sheets in the Laboratory"
Training Program reviews the
various sections of the MSDS,
what information can be found in
each section and most
importantly, how this
information can help employees
to work safely in their
laboratory. All potentially
hazardous materials entering a
laboratory have a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). But to
make good use of the information
on an MSDS, employees need to
understand how it is organized
and what it contains. Areas
covered in the program include
the purpose of Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDSs), sections of
the MSDS, information found in
each section, how MSDS
information can help employees
work safely, and more.
This Training Program is one of
12 in the “Elements of

Training Series. |
Asbestos
Awareness

WEB BASED
|
Our
"Asbestos Awareness"
Program has been created
specifically to educate
employees about the dangers of
working with materials that may
contain Asbestos. In August of
1994, OSHA issued 29 CFR
1910.1101... "Occupational
Exposure to Asbestos." This
regulation requires that all
employees who could come into
contact with materials that
might contain Asbestos be given
appropriate training on working
safely in these situations.
Employees are divided into four
classes. Classes I - III are
employees whose work involves
"installing" or
"disturbing" materials
that might contain Asbestos.
However, the largest group of
employees covered by this
regulation fall into the Class
IV group, which involves
employees that get involved
in... "maintenance and
custodial activities to clean up
waste and debris containing
these type of materials."
Since many materials commonly
used in buildings for many years
(including ceiling tiles, vinyl
flooring, and wall and pipe
insulation) contain Asbestos,
this means that the regulation
applies to virtually every
custodial, janitorial and
maintenance worker in the
country. The Program provides
the majority of the information
needed to satisfy the training
requirements for Class IV
employees under the OSHA
regulation. The Program includes
information on hazards of
asbestos, OSHA's asbestos
standard, composition and nature
of asbestos, types of materials
that may contain asbestos, and
where they are encountered,
limiting exposure to asbestos,
how to protect yourself when
disturbing a material that may
contain asbestos, air monitoring
and decontamination, and
more. |

American
EHS’s
“Back Safety” Program
emphasizes the importance of
overall back care, both at work
and at home, including exercises
and weight control. For many
employees, back injuries are
something that "happens to
the other person... not to
me." Yet four out of five
people will experience some type
of back problems during their
lives. And many back injuries
are caused by common activities
experienced both on and off the
job... such as lifting,
climbing, reaching, etc. The
Program includes information on
how the back works, common types
and causes of back injuries,
effects of back injuries, injury
prevention and safety practices,
proper lifting techniques, basic
back exercises, and more. |

American
EHS’s
"Bloodborne Pathogens in
Heavy Industry"
Regulatory Compliance Program
... updated to incorporate the
latest medial language and
guidelines... has been
specifically created to assist
facilities in fulfilling the
OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens
Standard's (29 CFR Part
1910.1030) training
requirements. Bloodborne
diseases are a serious concern
in the United States.
"Hepatitis B" infects
over 70,000 people annually, and
has over one million
"carriers" in the U.S.
The HIV virus, which usually
leads to AIDS, currently infects
over one million people. Because
of the increasing problems with
these diseases, in 1991 OSHA
passed a "Bloodborne
Pathogens" regulation.
Materials in the Kit include a
Program , a Compliance Manual,
five motivational Posters, and
30 Employee Booklets. The Kit
addresses the major areas needed
to comply with the Standard. A
Compliance Manual containing a
"fill-in-the-blank"
Exposure Control Program, as
well as other materials needed
to help meet compliance
requirements, is included. The
Posters in the Kit emphasize the
importance of preventative
measures. The Videotape and
Employee Booklets include
information on the contents of
the standard, epidemiology and
symptoms of bloodborne diseases,
modes by which bloodborne
disease is transmitted, the
exposure control plan,
recognition of exposure
situations, practices to prevent
exposure, HBV vaccination,
emergency procedures, signs and
labels, selection and use of
personal protective equipment,
and more. |

program include chemical hazard
concepts, types of hazardous
chemicals, characteristics and
effects of various types of
chemicals, the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS), container
labeling, safe handling
practices, use of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE),
spills and cleanup, and more.

provides the information
employees need to handle and
transport these potentially
volatile storage containers. In
today's work environments,
Compressed Gas is used for many
things... refrigeration...
welding... heating... and a
number of other functions.
Compressed Gas can be dangerous,
and employees who work with them
need to know how to handle them
properly. The Program includes
information on associated
hazards, moving and transporting
cylinders safely, positioning
cylinders properly, proper
"hook-up" procedures,
safe storage practices, storage
"incompatibilities",
and more. |

Our
"Handling Compressed Gas
Cylinders in the Laboratory"
Training Program examines how
gas cylinders "work",
the hazards that are associated
with them and the need for
caution when using or storing a
cylinder. The energy possessed
by a compressed gas cylinder can
make it a virtual
"missile" if it is not
handled with the utmost care.
And a leaking cylinder or
fitting can lead to
asphyxiation, a fire or even an
explosion. Since compressed gas
cylinders are frequently used in
many laboratories, employees
need to be familiar with the
precautions that should be taken
when dealing with them. Areas
covered in the program include
the four ways to compress gases,
hazards associated with
compressed gases, proper storage
procedures, marking and
labeling, handling cylinders
safely, connections and
fittings, leak detection, and
more. This Training
Program is one of 12 in the
“Elements of Safety”

Our
"Confined Space Entry"
Program addresses the major
areas of employee training
required by the regulation. This
Program was created specifically
for OSHA's Permit Required
Confined Space Regulation (29
CFR Part 1910.146). Because of
OSHA's broad definition of
"Confined Space", this
Program will be useful to a
number of different types of
facilities, including
manufacturers, utilities,
petroleum and chemical
industries, hospitals and many
others. The Program includes
information on contents of the
standard, responsibilities of
the employer, entry supervisors,
attendants and entrants,
identifying permit spaces, types
of hazards that can be
encountered, safety equipment,
dealing with emergencies and
rescue teams, and more. |

Our
“Confined Space Entry
Regulatory Retraining”
Program gives employees the
information they need to refresh
their knowledge of OSHA
regulations... as cost
effectively as possible. The
program reviews highlights of
the OSHA regulation and reminds
employees of the importance of
compliance. All of OSHA's recent
regulations not only call for
employees to receive initial
training, but require that
employees knowledge be
"refreshed"... through
retraining... on at least an
annual basis. Since the detailed
information that is required by
the regulations has normally
been given to employees during
their initial training,
retraining sessions can usually
focus on reminding employees
that they should be paying
attention to the regulation in
question... and heightening
their "awareness"
about how the regulation affects
their jobs. Areas covered in the
program include general
information about the safety or
health issue the regulation
addresses, the basics of the
regulation itself, major
compliance requirements, safe
work practices, personal
protective equipment, and
more. |

Our
"Crane Safety"
Program points out to employees
that over 90% of crane-related
accidents are caused by human
error... and that they are the
key to preventing these
incidents. While there are many
different types of Cranes, they
all have the ability to make
many jobs much easier by lifting
enormous weight. But they also
share the potential for disaster
when they are not operated
safely. Crane-related accidents
can often be deadly, due to the
cumbersome and heavy loads that
are lifted. A small
miscalculation, or a brief
moment of inattention, and
tragedy could strike. Once a
load falls, not much can be done
to stop it, and there is little
time for people to move safely
out of the way. A coworker could
be injured or killed, and
expensive equipment or materials
could be damaged or destroyed...
even the crane itself. The
Program includes information on
physical and mental preparation,
equipment inspection, hazard
assessment, boom cranes, jib
cranes, overhead cranes, general
and operational safety devices,
crane operations, hand signals,
and more. |

both on and off the job. Most
employees travel the roads every
day... in cars, vans or
trucks... many of them on
company business. Each year,
traffic accidents claim over
30,000 lives and cause more than
a million serious injuries. In
fact, motor vehicle crashes are
the number one cause of death on
the job. The Program includes
information on inspecting the
vehicle, adjusting seats,
mirrors and other equipment,
wearing seatbelts, mental
preparation and concentration,
creating a "safety

information they need to work
safely around low voltage
electricity. Electricity is all
around us. It lights up our
homes... powers much of the
machinery and equipment that we
use... and runs many of our
tools. We are so used to it,
most employees "take it for
granted." Yet electricity
can also be dangerous. Employees
need to know how electricity
works, and what they should do
to protect themselves from its
hazards. This program also
satisfies the OSHA training
requirements under 29 CFR Part

OSHA, SARA Title III, and
numerous state regulations call
for all facilities to meet a
number of Emergency
Preparedness/Crisis Management
requirements. These include that
every facility have an
"Emergency Plan" that
spells out what is to be done in
case of an emergency, and that
this Plan, as well as other
important information, be shared
with the local Emergency
Planning Committee and emergency
response groups such as the
police, fire department and
others. The Program includes
information on types of
emergencies, the emergency plan,
the "crisis management

explains "medical
surveillance" and how it is
used to evaluate the health of
anyone who regularly works
around Hazardous Materials.
Hazardous Materials and Waste
are part of many work
situations, and can be found on
many types of job sites. It is
so important that employees know
how to recognize these
potentially dangerous
substances, as well as how to
handle and dispose of them
properly, that OSHA mandates
that anyone working with these
substances receive comprehensive
training in this area. In 1976,
the U.S. Environmental

1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER.
As part of these regulations,
there are varying requirements
for employee training, depending
on an employee's specific level
of involvement with Hazardous
Materials. Areas covered in the
program include direct-reading
instruments, sampling collection
devices, site characterization,
general on-site monitoring,

problems are caused by not
paying attention to the work
employees are doing, or by not
wearing the appropriate
protective equipment. It reminds
employees that eye injuries can
easily happen to them and shows
them how to prevent these
injuries. Most employees take
"healthy eyes" for
granted. But our eyes are really
very fragile, and statistics
show that eye injuries occur
frequently in the workplace. The
Program includes information on
physiology of the eye and how it
functions, common eye injuries
and how they are caused, short
and long-term effects of eye
injuries, eye care and safety

major training requirements in
the OSHA Standard on Fall
Protection. Falls are the second
leading cause of death each year
in the United States (after
traffic accidents)! Over 10,000
people are killed every year as
a result of falls...and 200,000
to 300,000 people are disabled.
Eight-five percent of all falls
that occur on the job result in
"lost work time". The
Program includes information on
the seriousness of fall hazards,
types of environments where
falls may occur, the "fall

and what can be done to prevent
them. It reviews steps that can
be taken to help prevent fires,
as well as what employees should
do in case of a fire emergency.
Among all the safety problems an
employee can encounter, fire can
be the most frightening. Every
year workplace fires cause
hundreds of millions of dollars
in damage and result in numerous
employee injuries, many of which
are fatal. Yet many employees do
not realize how their own work
practices can contribute to the
risk of fire. The Program
includes information on common
causes of workplace fires,
importance of good
"housekeeping”, other
fire prevention measures,
various types of fire
extinguishers, using fire
extinguishers, evacuation and
other employee responsibilities,
first aid, and more. |

type of injury, or even prevent
a death. In most facilities, not
a day goes by without some type
of injury occurring. It can be
as serious as a chemical burn,
or as minor as a small cut. But
any injury can be painful and
affect an employee's work
performance... as well as their
life off the job. The Program
includes information on cuts and
bleeding, muscle pulls and
sprains, burns, broken bones,

Our
"Safe Handling of
Laboratory Glassware"
Training Program discusses the
nature of various types of
glassware, and the problems it
can cause... as well as the need
for employees to use and
maintain laboratory glassware
safely. Broken glassware causes
more laboratory accidents than
any other hazard. Because it is
so fragile, glassware can easily
fracture if it is bumped,
dropped or too much pressure is
applied to it. Some glassware
accidents don't require much
more than a band-aid, while
others can result in a lot of
blood and the need for medical
attention. And the threat of
contamination from the materials
in a broken container can also
be a serious problem. Areas
covered in the program include
Inspecting glassware before use,
effects of extreme temperatures
and pressures, matching
glassware to the experiment,
working with glass tubing, using
personal protective equipment,
storage and handling, washing
and cleanup, and more.

the employee. Many of the
materials used in laboratories
give off fumes, mists, vapors,
particulates or aerosols which
are hazardous. To minimize
exposure to these materials,
special precautions need to be
taken. This often means within a
"hood". Areas covered

Our
"Office Safety"
Program teaches employees what
hazards exist in office
environments, and how important
it is to use good safety
practices as they go about their
work. Office employees
frequently have the feeling that
since they don't work "out
on a plant floor" safety
isn't important in their jobs.
Yet accidents and injuries in
the office account for thousands
of hours of lost time, and
millions of dollars in Workers'
Compensation and medical costs.
The Program includes information
on safety awareness, proper
lifting, safety housekeeping,
slips, trips & falls,

Our
"Personal Protective
Equipment" Program
teaches employees how easily
injuries can occur and how to
select appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment for their
jobs... and meets the training
requirements for OSHA's Standard
for Personal Protective
Equipment. Government surveys
show that the most common cause
of workplace injuries today is
due to employees not using
Personal Protective Equipment as
they work. Virtually everyone
will experience one or more
"on the job" injuries
during their working life. In
most cases appropriate equipment
is readily available, yet
employees do not recognize the
need for this equipment, or take
the time to use it. The Program
includes information on areas of
the body needing protection,
available protective equipment,
equipment variations, how to
properly use PPE, matching
equipment to the hazard, the
limitations of various PPE, the
proper use of PPE, and
more. |

Our
"Personal Protective
Equipment HAZWOPER
Compliance Program"
instructs employees
on the selection and use of
personal protective equipment
(such as chemical protective
clothing and respirators) in
environments where hazardous
materials are present. Hazardous
materials and waste are part of
many work situations, and can be
found on many types of job
sites. OSHA feels that it is so
important for employees to know
how to recognize these
potentially dangerous substances
(as well as how to handle and
dispose of them properly) they
have mandated that anyone
working with these substances
receive comprehensive training
in this area. In 1976, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
to regulate the handling of
hazardous waste "from
cradle to grave". Since
then other regulations have
followed, including OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.120, also known as
HAZWOPER. As part of these
regulations, there are varying
requirements for employee
training, depending on an
employee's specific level of
involvement with hazardous
materials. The Program includes
information on the roles of
Personal Protective Equipment,
Level A Personal Protective
Equipment, Level B Personal

Our
"Preventing
Contamination in the Laboratory"
Training Program emphasizes the
need to recognize situations
that could led to contamination,
and discusses what can be done
to prevent contamination from
occurring. Handling hazardous
chemicals and specimens requires
a great deal of caution. If
substances are not properly
controlled, hazards can spread
and contaminate other materials,
work area... even employees
themselves. With many
laboratories using toxic,
corrosive and carcinogenic
chemicals, employees need to do
all they can to prevent
contamination. Areas covered in
the program include how
contamination occurs, general
preventative measures,
engineering controls, safe work
practices, personal protective
equipment, and more. This
Training Program is one of 12 in

Our
"Respiratory Safety"
Program points out to employees
why it is important that they
learn to recognize... and guard
against... respiratory hazards.
Both OSHA and NIOSH have
recently issued changes to their
Respiratory Protection Training
Requirements. This revised and
updated program includes those
changes... such as new fit
testing protocols and
cleaning/disinfecting
procedures... as well as shows
examples of the new
"N" class respirator
and other respirators being used
in a variety of settings. One of
the problems with many
respiratory hazards (such as
fumes or gases) is that
employees can not easily
"see" them. Even more
visible hazards, such as dusts,
are often accepted as part of a
"normal" work
environment. As a result, many
respiratory problems only become
clearly evident well after the
original exposure. Yet once they
occur, most respiratory problems
are "chronic" and long
lasting. The Program includes
information on the physiology of
the human respiratory system,
how the respiratory system
functions, common causes of
respiratory problems, potential
effects of hazards, respiratory
safety practices, the use of
respiratory safety equipment,
and more. |

Our
"Rigging Safety"
Program points out to employees
that over 90 percent of
rigging-related accidents are
caused by human error... and
that they are the key to
preventing these incidents. We
have all heard the phrase...
"A chain is only as strong
as its weakest link". When
it comes to crane operations,
Rigging can often be that
"weak link". How a
load is attached to a crane can
make the difference between a
successful lift and an
unfortunate accident. And
Rigging-related accidents can
often be deadly, due to the
large and heavy loads that are
lifted. A small miscalculation,
or a brief moment of
inattention, and tragedy could
strike. Once a load falls not
much can be done to stop it, and
there is little time for people
to move safely out of the way. A
coworker can be injured or
killed, and expensive equipment
and cargo could be damaged or
destroyed... even the crane
itself. The Program includes
information on physical and
mental preparation, personal
protective equipment, equipment
inspection, hazard assessment,
slings and hitches, hand
signals, load angles, and
more. |

of OSHA regulations... as cost
effectively as possible. The
program reviews highlights of
the OSHA regulation and reminds
employees of the importance of
compliance. All of OSHA's recent
regulations not only call for
employees to receive initial
training, but require that
employees knowledge be
"refreshed"... through
retraining... on at least an
annual basis. Since the detailed
information that is required by
the regulations has normally
been given to employees during
their initial training,
retraining sessions can usually
focus on reminding employees
that they should be paying
attention to the regulation in
question... and heightening
their "awareness"
about how the regulation affects
their jobs. Areas covered in the
program include general
information about the safety or
health issues the regulation
addresses, the basics of the
regulation itself, major
compliance requirements, safe

Our
"Safety Audits"
Program informs employees about
the goals of a Safety Audit, and
how all workers should become
involved. A single workplace
accident can be devastating.
Someone can be injured... or
even killed. Property, equipment
or materials can be damaged or
destroyed. And work could come
to a complete standstill. All of
these things can happen if
efforts are not made to protect
employees. One way to accomplish
this is to conduct a Safety
Audit. This is an examination of
the work area to make sure it is
as safe as possible and all
potential hazards are corrected
or removed. The Program includes
information on a workplace
analysis, administrative
controls, engineering controls,
personal protective equipment,
emergency response procedures,
regulatory compliance and
safety/health training, accident
investigation, a safety

confronting employers today,
that of developing a good
"safety attitude" in
their employees...as well as
providing "introductory
safety training". Thinking
about safety should be as
natural as thinking about other
aspects of the job. Employees
need to anticipate the
possibility of accidents before
they happen. Workplace accidents
cause millions of people to
suffer painful injuries every
year, and cost business almost
$90 billion per year in medical
bills, lost wages and lost
production time. The Program and
includes information on
developing "safety

well as reviews the OSHA
regulations and good safety
practices that apply to
laboratory environments. A
laboratory can be a dangerous
place, and with the daily
pressures to get things done
employees can be tempted to take
shortcuts and ignore safety
precautions. And with the
increasing complexity of the
equipment and procedures
involved in experiments,
employees need an even greater
knowledge of safety practices
and procedures than they may
have had in the past. Areas
covered in the program include
OSHA regulations, Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs),
planning safe experiments,
personal protective equipment,
ventilation controls, chemical

Our
"Understanding HAZWOPER"
Training Program is designed to
explain the regulations and to
help employees begin to reduce
or eliminate potential exposure
to hazardous materials in their
work environments. Hazardous
materials and Waste are part of
many work situations, and can be
found on many types of job
sites. It is so important that
employees know how to recognize
these potentially dangerous
substances, as well as how to
handle and dispose of them
properly, that OSHA mandates
that anyone working with these
substances receive comprehensive
training in this area. In 1976,
the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) issued
the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) to regulate
the handling of hazardous waste
"from cradle to
grave". Since then other
regulations have followed,
including OSHA's 29 CFR
1910.120, also known as HAZWOPER.
As part of these regulations,
there are varying requirements
for employee training, depending
on an employee's specific level
of involvement with hazardous
materials. Areas covered in the
program include history of the
HAZWOPER regulations,
definitions of hazardous
chemicals and waste, container
labels, Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDSs), the site safety
and health plan, HAZWOPER
training requirements, the site

employees that there are indeed
a number of hazards associated
with Welding, and provides the
information that they need to
work safely when involved with
Welding operations. People have
been welding in one form or
another for over 2,000 years.
But like many industrial
processes, Welding can be very
dangerous. Whether an employee
is working with the hazardous
gases of an
"Oxyacetylene" unit...
the high voltage of "Stick
Welding"... or the
combination of gas and
electricity that powers "MIG"
and "TIG"
operations... flying sparks,
toxic fumes, electric shock and
high Program includes
information on getting
"authorization" for
welding operations, sparking and
the risk of fire, guards and
protective barriers, hazardous
fumes and ventilation, the use
of respirators, eye protection
(welding helmets/filters/
glasses/goggles), using other
personal protective equipment,
inspecting welding equipment,
proper welding safety
procedures, and more. |

Our
"Winter Safety"
Program teaches employees how to
plan ahead, look for potential
hazards and avoid dangerous
situations that occur during the
winter holiday season. Over the
years employers have discovered
that their employees miss more
time from work as a result of
"off-the-job"
accidents than due to injuries
experienced on the job. Many of
these accidents occur during the
Winter holidays, as employees do
things that they are not
familiar with or haven't done
"since last year".
Fortunately, most of these
accidents can be prevented. The
Program includes information on
Christmas tree selection/
transportation/erection, using
"string lights", safe
use of extension cords and
outlets, fires, fireplaces and
chimneys, using candles, fire
extinguishers and fire escapes,
dressing for cold weather,
working in the cold, walking and
driving in ice and snow, and
more. |

Our
"Workplace Stress"
Program helps employees identify
potentially stressful situations
and learn how to cope with them.
In the fast-paced world that we
Live, in, we are always
encountering situations that can
be stressful. Many of these
occur at work. Yet stress, and
its effects on our ability to do
our jobs, is a subject that is
often overlooked. The Program
includes information on
situations causing stress,
positive versus negative stress,
recognizing symptoms of stress,
effects of stress on the mind
and body, eliminating
"stress factors",
stress-relieving exercises, and
more. |
