This interactive course on Crane Safety is designed to remind participants 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 mis-calculation 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.

Areas covered in the program include 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. Also, participants would be familiarized with:

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

• Hazard Types & Recognition
• Qualifications requirements
• Crane Components & Operations
• Definitions
• Safe Site Operations
• Training requirements
• Crane Types & Classifications
• Emergency Response
• Rigging
• Inspection criteria
• Signals
• Case Studies

A crane operator has many responsibilities and plays an integral part in the safety of a job site where cranes are in operation.

This Crane Operator course has been developed for those workers tasked with crane operation, and covers the knowledge needed by a worker to safely operate a variety of different crane types, including overhead, mobile, tower, and articulating cranes.

This training program helps crane operator as well as the entire lifting team understand many facets of a crane work and the safety requirements at work site. Also, it focuses on the roles and responsibilities of each of the different worker that make up a crane operation safe.

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 mis-calculation 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.

By the end of the training a participant would be familiar with:

• Definitions
• Hazard Recognition
• Crane Types and Classifications
• Employer Responsibilities
• Crane Components and Setup
• Load Movement and Hoisting
• Working around overhead power cables
• Emergency Response
• Types, Selection, and Use of Rigging Material
• Rigging Material Inspection
• Wire Rope, Connectors, and Slings
• Chain and Synthetic Slings

Confined space rescues and recovery of victims trapped can be technically challenging due to the environment in which they occur. Confined spaces are often narrow and constricting preventing easy access by rescuers. They are usually either unlit or poorly lit so rescuers must provide their own light source. Finally, confined spaces often contain hazardous materials in liquid or gas form which can be harmful or fatal to humans.

These hazards can be fatal as they create a limited window in which to perform a rescue. The urgent need to rescue someone from a confined space often leads to ill-prepared rescue attempts. Two-thirds of all of deaths occurring in confined spaces are attributed to persons attempting to rescue someone else.

NIST Project Team has successfully handled On-site Risk Management on various occasions involving Confined Space Rescue such as with Honeywell.

Upon completion of Confined Space Rescue training, the student will be familiar with:

• Categories of Confined Space Rescue.
• The use of Personal Protection Equipments necessary for making rescues.
• The use of Retrieval Systems for non-entry rescue.
• The entry Permit System with need to communicate the system for preparation, issuance, use and cancellation of entry permit.
• Hazards encountered while performing a confined space rescue.
• Respiratory Protection and the use of SCBA.
• Review of accidents common to confined space.
• SKED usage and stretcher drill.
• The requirements to practice Rescue Drills.

In a controlled and simulated IDLH environment, students will be required to:

• Respond to a rescue alert.
• Evaluate the emergency and determine the correct rescue method.
• Determine the atmospheric hazard.
• Utilize the appropriate PPE.
• Enter the confined space.
• Perform a rescue on an unconscious victim.
• Evaluate victim once outside and administer first aid until medical help arrives on scene.

The Training sessions would be as per best practices in industry using audio visual display and past case studies in a class room setup. Practical session for skill building could be exercised in a non-threatening place to life and health under strict supervision.

Health and safety regulation requires that persons qualified for confined space rescue operations complete rescue training and exercises annually, at the least, and recommend more frequent training. This mostly involves all members of Emergency Rescue Team in an organization.

Confined Space Rescue training is important because it is legally required that employers who have permit required confined spaces in their facilities in which employees will be working, provide rescue and emergency services in case of an accident eventuality. This training refreshes earlier learnt aspects and regular hands on training and drills maintain the competence level of ERT members.

Planning for fall protection plays an important role in safety in any industry where workers are at height. While companies may understand the importance of having a plan and equipment in place, many fail to fully address the issue of escape from heights and/or rescue after a fall has occurred.

When things go wrong when working at height, no matter if it is 10 or even 300 feet in the air, it's too late to fine-tune your rescue plan. You have just minutes to rescue a worker before suspension trauma can occur. Research indicates that suspension in a fall arrest device can result in unconsciousness, followed by death, in less than 30 minutes.

By the end of the course, participant will understand use of rescue kit in a variety of locations and to rescue a casualty who has fallen from a platform. They will also learn and understand the measures to prevent fall from heights at the first place. This course also helps to create an awareness of the dangers at the construction sites and enable workers to understand following:

• The hierarchy of controls when carrying out work at height legislation,
• Understand emergency preparedness and rescue provision,
• Understand the implications of suspension trauma and the importance of rescue provision,
• Use of self-relief technique during harness suspension trauma situations,
• Harness inspection and fitness,
• Demonstrate casualty management and the application of temporary aids,
• Using of Rescue Kit,
• Simulated rescue a suspended casualty using of rescue kit.

• Workers who will be part of a first response rescue team.
• This course is ideal for construction workers, scaffolders and facilities maintenance engineers.
• Others that require a practical enhancement to the Work-At-Height Course for Worker/Supervisor.

Thoughtful fall protection escape and rescue planning must be top priority for organizations with workers at any height. With advance planning, user-friendly escape & rescue equipment and procedures after a fall can save lives. This training helps you develop a plan to ensure the safest operation possible for the benefit of your workers working at height.

Fire is the most common hazard for any workplace be it a large manufacturing or a process plant or a high rise building full of employees or even a public place like a mall or an airport or a metro station. It is a legal requirement for an employer to ensure that the workplace is safe of all fire hazards and the employees are well protected in case of any fire incident.

Unfortunately, employers are sometimes not aware of their legal duties or are negligent towards it. Fire incidents could have huge consequences for the organization, apart from stoppage of work; it could also create legal complications for the employer which may include huge fines and/ or imprisonment and even withdrawal of license to operate the facility.

All these kinds of untoward incidences could be prevented, provided the is a fire control mechanism in place and employees knowledge on firefighting. This is where, adequate training on fire safety should be provided to employees at regular intervals.

• Fire prevention in general
• Necessary action to initiate upon discovering a fire
• Method of raising alarm
• Right method of calling emergency services like Fire Service Department and Police
• Location and use of firefighting equipment
• Knowledge on escape in case of fire, meet at assembly point, roll call procedure
• Isolation of power supply and machinery parts
• Evacuation procedure including arrangement for people with disabilities
• Close of smoke doors, etc.

• Emergency response and rescue personnel
• Fire technicians
• Safety officers
• Fire wardens
• Fire marshals

Industries or organizations would be ensured a carefully designed system to ensure safety of life and property from explosive forces. Again, they would better understand fire safety engineering approach which is beneficial from the perspective of fire safety and sustainability.

Sensitization of employees is highly essential considering the fact of emergency situation like fire, chemical disaster, flood, cyclone, tsunami, or earthquake or any such untoward incidents having the potential to cause injury and death. The activities in response to deal with depend on type of emergency situation. However, most of the times organizations in times of emergency or during a life threatening hazardous situation, find themselves at back foot, due to lack of resources or lack of coordination or lack of clarity of roles among the stakeholders. This is the reason, mock drill should be conducted to inculcate the vibes of emergency preparedness, optimum utilization of resources, mobilization of coordinated activities, and related aspects after identifying the gaps.

The objective of mock drill is to review the emergency preparedness plan of the organization and evaluate standard operating procedure, so that concerned persons would deliver their duties effectively while keeping in cognizance of life and property. If the employees and concerned stakeholders are trained, then the response during emergency would be smooth and effective.

We have experienced trainers to deliver mock drill training by creating worst case scenarios with specific to industry and they would infuse it at the operational level to understand the realistic issues of dealing with emergency scenarios. Moreover, they will get a sense of competence and get aware of pre-emptive measures to handle any kind of emergency situations. We also provide recommended measures as per the loopholes highlighted in mock drill.

• Purpose of conducting mock drill
• Mock drill design as per the principles
• Objectives of mock drill
• Common safety problems at workplace
• Ways to conduct mock drill
• Systematic way of conducting mock exercises
• Role of management, emergency manager, authorized response person, and workers for conducting mock drill
• Escape plan in case of emergency
• Guidelines to be followed before, during, and after mock drill
• Evaluation of mock drill
• Implementation of emergency plan

Training is useful to emergency response team, employees, management, and stakeholders of organization.

Organization will understand the key aspects of emergency preparedness thereby it would strengthen the coordination efforts to tackle any crisis effectively. As a result, life and property would be better protected.

An organization may face several types of disasters. Disasters could be both manmade and natural. These disasters may also be termed as emergencies. Amongst manmade disasters could be fires, explosions, release of potentially toxic chemicals, falls from height, confined space incidents, acts of terrorism etc. While natural disasters could include floods, earthquake, tsunami etc. These emergencies if not contained immediately and consequences not mitigated can lead to major loss of life, property and also lead to stoppage of work and subsequent losses.

Some examples of emergencies could be such as Uttarakhand Floods in 2013, Bhopal Gas Tragedy in 1984, fire at Kamala mills roof top hotel and Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster in 2011, which ended up with trail of death and devastation. The need of the hour for any organization is to have a well-prepared emergency response team so that they can reach the spot of hazard or disaster immediately to handle the emergency situation effectively.

NIST provides training in light of the above, outlining effective management of emergency situation and all matters related to undesired incidents. Moreover, it provides operational framework involving hazard prevention, emergency preparedness and response.

• People-centered preventive approach to disaster risk
• Disaster risk reduction practices
• Design and implementation of policies, plans and standards
• Integration of disaster/hazard risk in management practices
• How to coordinate with other agencies engaged in rescue
• Specialized response for rescue and relief
• Capacity building (technical, financial, functional)
• Improving preparedness and response (before, during, and after disaster)
• Improving technical skills of the responders
• Improve coordination of disaster response
• Quality and availability of emergency management tools
• Raise the expertise level
• Conducting awareness program in the work vicinity and community
• Mock drill to ensure proper coordination
• Effective preparedness and response

• Emergency & Communication Controllers
• Fire Marshals/ Traffic Wardens
• Fire Team Leader & Fire Fighting party
• First Aid Team Leader & Stretcher bearers
• Security Staff

The benefit that accrues through training is that it will build the capacity of responders and improve their preparedness. Moreover, technical skills would improve, which in turn will assist in making better coordination while utilizing disaster management tools effectively. As a result, threat to life and property could be eliminated or minimized, which in turn will uphold the reputation of the organization intact.

The Hazardous Spill Response program is designed to provide participants with sufficient knowledge about the theory of spill response to enable you to plan for and respond to incidents in your own organization, such as a spillage in a laboratory or warehouse, or even a leak from a bulk tanker that has rolled over.

When a chemical is spilled, someone has to clear it up. This might be the person who spilt it or, possibly, a trained response team. Whoever it is, they should know about the hazards and risks posed by the substances involved, have access to the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow some kind of plan.

This training module is ideal for those who are considering setting up or already have a spill response team in their workplace. The training content includes:

• Hazard Identification: learn how to obtain hazard and risk information quickly from documents such as HAZCHEM Placards, Product Labels and Manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• Properties and behavior: know how chemicals may behave in different circumstances when released from their containers.
• Chemical effects and first aid: the ways in which you can be exposed to substances, the effects they may have on you and some simple steps to take if you come into contact with them.
• Assessing the situation: consider how far an incident may have progressed and what might happen next.
• The theory of response: learn how to plan a response instead of rushing in. A tool to guide you from start to finish with response options and incident site management arrangements, and debriefing before leaving the scene.

This hazardous Spill Response course is aimed at anyone involved responding to a chemical spill in the workplace. Training is useful to workers such as courier handler, waste clean-up contractors, laboratory workers and safety personnel.

Chemical Spill Response course provides you with the ability to recognize hazards and understand the information that accompanies chemicals. It offers a comprehensive view on the properties of chemical substances and how they might behave when spilt. This will help you to fully assess the risks, devise a plan to deal with any spillage and ensure the response team follows a safe way of working.
