Training Room 2

Introduction

 

Training Room 2 discusses five hazard topics:

• fire safety
• electrical safety
• ladder safety
• confined-spaces safety
• chemical safety

You will explore each of these five hazard topics and the practices that reduce the risks associated with them. You will demonstrate your ability to work with ladders and fire extinguishers.

 

You also will create one safety reference sheet for each hazard topic. In Training Room 2 Project, you will put the reference sheets together into your own Pocket Guide to Workplace Safety. Take a look at Training Room 2 Project now so that you know what information to collect as you work through the training room. Also remember to update your copy of Course Checklist as you work.

 

Keep the following guiding questions in mind as you work:

• What are the workplace safety practices for each of these hazards: fire, electrical, ladder use, confined spaces, and chemicals?
• How do you, as a worker, put these practices into use?
• What information would be helpful to include in your Pocket Guide for future use on the job site?

One last thing. You can work through the five topics in any order. Are you working with a ladder soon? Then start with Ladder Safety. Working with an electrician next week? Complete Electrical Safety this week.
