Course Descriptions
Hearing Conservation
This training is intended for employees, and those who directly supervise employees, whose job activities may cause them to be exposed to hazardous noise levels. In addition to a discussion of the elements of a hearing conservation program, employees are provided information they can use to identify areas where hazardous noise levels might be present as well as the procedures and equipment that must be used to prevent hearing loss when working in these areas.
Presenters: Holly Gates-Mayer, Industrial Hygienist, UI Environmental Health & Safety
George Porter, Occupational Safety Specialist, UI Environmental Health & Safety
*********************************************************************************************
Incorporating Safety Training into Job Descriptions
During the past year, a pilot-project to establish a practical method for systematically determining and tracking the completion of appropriate, basic safety training for each job title was initiated in UI Facilities by Environmental Health & Safety. This presentation will include a discussion of the rationale for the approach used as well as an explanation of how the checklists and other materials can be used to facilitate and document the safety training identification/tracking process.
Presenter: George Porter, Occupational Safety Specialist, UI Environmental Health & Safety
*********************************************************************************************
Asbestos & Lead Awareness
Until its potential for causing serious health problems was identified, asbestos was routinely used in the construction of buildings, personal protective equipment, brake linings and other applications because of its fire retardant and insulation properties. Lead in paint and other materials can pose a serious health hazard if these materials are not handled and disposed of properly. This training is intended for employees working in the building trades, maintenance, custodial, or other job occupations where work activities could result in the disturbance of materials that might contain asbestos or lead, and those who directly supervise their activities. Topics discussed will include the hazards asbestos or lead containing materials may pose if disturbed, identifying suspect materials, and safe work-practices and procedures that must be followed when performing related job tasks for workers to protect themselves and others from harm.
Presenter: Dennis Auslam, Asbestos Program Coordinator, UI Environmental Health & Safety

Extensive system graphics including the chilled water storage and distribution system, building HVAC operational systems and alarm response to more than 28,000
sensing points and other capabilities and features of our insight program will be demonstrated.
Presenter: Siemens and WSU Personnel

Procurement of Carpet at Higher Education Facilities
This workshop is to discuss the carpet purchasing programs at USU and UI directly from the manufacturer. Topics discussed will be: direct purchasing; state bid process; university bid process; university spec preparation; environmental issues; installation guidelines-ownership, moisture test; end user-ownership questions; what purchasing directly from the mills means-stretching the dollar and better material.
