Principles of safety through design and inherently safer designs (e.g., designing out hazards during design phase, avoidance, elimination, and substitution)
-
Engineering controls (e.g., ventilation, guarding, isolation, and active vs. passive)
-
Administrative controls (e.g., job rotation, training, procedures, and safety policies and practices)
-
Personal protective equipment
-
Chemical process safety management (e.g., pressure relief systems, chemical compatibility, management of change, materials of construction, and process flow diagrams)
-
Redundancy systems (e.g., energy isolation and ventilation)
-
Common workplace hazards (e.g., electrical, falls, same level falls, confined spaces, lockout/tagout, working around water, caught in, struck by, excavation, welding, hot work, cold and heat stress, combustibles, laser, and others)
-
Facility life safety features (e.g., public space safety, floor loading, and occupancy loads)
-
Fleet safety principles (e.g., driver and equipment safety, maintenance, surveillance equipment, GPS monitoring, telematics, hybrid vehicles, fuel systems, driving under the influence, and fatigue)
-
Transportation safety principles (e.g., air, rail, and marine)
-
Materials handling (e.g., forklifts, cranes, hand trucks, person lifts, hoists, rigging, manual, and drones)
-
Foreign material exclusion (FME) and foreign object damage (FOD)
-
Hazardous materials management (e.g., GHS labels, storage and handling, policy, and security)
-
Multi-employee worksite issues (e.g., contractors and temporary or seasonal employees)
-
Sources of information on hazards and risk management options (e.g., subject matter experts, relevant best practices, published literature, and SDS)
-
The safety design criteria for workplace facilities, machines, and practices (e.g., UL, NFPA, NIOSH, FM, and ISO)
-
Tools, machines, practices, and equipment safety (e.g., hand tools, ladders, grinders, hydraulics, and robotics)
-
Workplace hazards (e.g., nanoparticles, combustible dust, heat systems, high pressure, radiation, silica dust, powder and spray applications, blasting, and molten metals)
