Course Summary:
The course was prepared primarily for Construction Industry Laborers and Operators involved in Roadway and Highway Construction. This course has applicability to Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors however as Engineers are involved in laying out the work, administering and inspecting this work, reviewing Contractor's Safety and Health Plans and preparing As-Built Drawings. Much of the dangers of Road and Highway Construction (i.e. trenching) apply to other areas of work. The course is offered as a live presentation, a self study*** presentation as well as a 50/50 presentation with half the course being presented live and the other half self study***. Contact the Training Desk for information on scheduling live presentations.
*** Many states have limitations on the amount of PDH's which may be obtained via self study. In New York State for example, of the 36 PDH's required for engineering licensure renewal, 18 PDH's (50 %) may be obtained via self study; similarly, of the 24 PDH's required for land surveying licensure renewal, 12 PDH's (50 %) may be obtained via self study. Self Study Courses require an "Assessment of Learning" (See below). Note: Some test questions may require independent research and investigation to provide correct answers.
Upon completion of this course, trainees should be better prepared to perform their job site functions on roadway construction sites with improved awareness of on site dangers, basic knowledge of major potential hazards and preparatory steps to be taken in special circumstances. In addition, attendees should, under the oversight of a Certified Industry Safety Professional (CISP), be able to assist in the presentation of the safety portions of Job Preconstruction Meetings and the preparation of Health and Safety Plans. The Roadway Safety Course covers fourteen 14 individual "modules":
- Runovers / Backovers
- Equipment Operator Safety
- Struck or Crushed
- Flagger Safety
- Night Work
- Excavation
- Electrical Hazards
|
- Sprains and Strains
- Fall Hazards
- Noise Hazards
- Health Hazards
- Working Outdoors
- Emergencies
- Safe Driving
|
Specific Knowledge / Skills / Learning Conveyed:
- Review of Historical Injury and Fatality Information
- How to Recognize Job Site Hazards in the 14 Categories Above
- Understanding of Proper Highway / Road Signage at Work Zones
- Understanding Differences Between Class I, II and III Safety Garments / Equipment (PPE's)
- Understanding Proper Placement of Traffic Control Devices (TCD's)
- Understanding Vehicle Stopping Distances Under Various Road Conditions
- Understanding Special Challenges of Night Work
- Safety Requirements for Trenching and Excavations
- Understanding Proper Lifting Procedures

- How to Recognize Heat Stroke and Frostbite
- Understanding Emergency Preparedness
Assessment of Learning:
A 25 question test is required to obtain continuing education credit for the course. A passing grade of 70% is required to obtain course credit. NOTE: It is considered part of the learning experience for the trainee to learn how to use the various sources of safety information available on the web at government web sites. These sources include:
- eLCOSH Library - Expanded versions of the material in this course are available on the eLCOSH web site. Module 1 can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/elcosh/docs/d0600/d000626/module1.html . You can access other modules simply by editing the url to "module2", "module3:, etc.
- OSHA has various eTools and publications which can be downloaded from their web site. A good place to start is http://www.osha.gov/doc/index.html
- The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health is a part of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (http://www.noaa.gov/) and National Weather Service (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/) sites provide valuable data on exposure and weather issues.
Approximately 15% of the test questions will address material readily found only on the above sites.
Course Materials:
All course materials are contained in the downloadable files. Again, it is expected that trainee will be required to visit one or more of the above sites to answer a small number of questions. A Course Binder can also be mailed to you which includes all course materials printed in full color, a durable 3-ring binder for placement in your library for future consultation
