SUMMARY:Personal Protective Equipment\, Ladder\, and Electrical Safety
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis class will cover several safety considerations for water and wastewater personnel. First\, we will look at new and improved personal protective equipment (PPE). Falls are the second highest cause of workplace fatality across the nation\, so we will discuss ladder safety at home and in the workplace. Water and wastewater operators also work on and around electrical equipment at their facilities. This class discusses the electrical safety measures that should be in place at your facility. \nCredit\n3 TCH (Water & Wastewater) \nInstructor\nPaula Jackson (Vermont Rural Water Association)

SUMMARY:Permit Required Confined Space Entry
DESCRIPTION:Water and wastewater facilities contain many confined spaces which can be dangerous to operators. We will discuss common confined spaces in water and wastewater facilities and the difference between a confined space and a permit-required confined space. This class will build awareness about the safety hazards of a confined space such as atmospheric hazards (hydrogen sulfide\, methane); mechanical hazards; and blood-borne pathogens that are a concern for wastewater collection system workers. You will learn about the proper protective equipment\, procedures for entry into a permit-required confined space\, the need for a rescue plan\, and how to rescue a co-worker if the situation arises.
