Specialized Modules	Description of Content
8. Lockout and Tagout	Reviews commonly accepted practices for identifying and isolating power sources that could cause a sudden release of energy and cause injury.
9. Confined Space Entry	Special hazards are presented when people must work inside a tank or other confined space. Practices and procedures for doing this type of work safely are covered in this module.
10. Line Breaking	Dangerous materials can be released when opening pipelines or vessels. Special precautions and permitting are presented in this section for supervisors that can reduce exposure of these hazards to workers who must break into closed systems.
11. Hot Work/Welding	This Module reviews procedures and systems for doing welding and burning work. It discusses permitting, checklists and individual responsibilities of all parties involved in doing jobs where flames, sparks or overheating might cause a fire or explosion.
12. Excavations	Holes or ditches can easily cave in trapping people who must work within their confines. Precautions are reviewed for shoring, sloping and other practices which can significantly reduce the danger of being trapped underneath the dirt that may surround an area being dug or trenched.
13. Chemical Safety	Nearly all industrial operations have some operations that require the handling of certain hazardous chemicals. Basic precautions are reviewed for understanding the different chemical hazards and the safe handling of these material to prevent injury or illness from exposure.
14. Contractor Safety	Contract employees may be used to do certain kinds of work in a plant. This module reviews some of the expectations for both the company and the contractor. Pre-work reviews, orientation to hazards and agreement of procedures should be part of a Contractor Declaration to reduce chance of accidents to both employees of the company as well as the contract employees.
15.Electrical Safety	Basic precautions when working around electrical equipment such as switches, circuits, wiring and motors are the focus of this unit. It will help the supervisor get an understanding or voltage, current and levels of potential exposure that can produce from a tingle to electrocution.
16. Emergency Planning	Supervisors should have a good understanding of basic emergency response procedures and know what actions they should take if there should be a fire, explosion, chemical release, bomb threat or weather related event affecting their facility. Key components of plans and response are reviewed.
17. Ergonomics	Supervisors will study job and environmental factors that can influence how people do their work. This will include how production flows, types of tools and equipment, physical arrangement of work station and similar factors can introduce unnecessary stress or fatigue.
18. Fire Prevention/Equipment	When a fire occurs, do you know what to do until the fire brigade arrives on the scene. This module discusses some of the key things that a supervisor should know about fire protection equipment in his/her department that may prevent a small fire from becoming a disaster.
19. Laboratory Safety	Safety in the laboratory concerns all who work in or around a lab setting. Labs have many materials that may cause serious injury or illness if not properly handled. Handling techniques, mixing procedures, ventilation and special protective equipment are covered in this extensive Module.
20. Material Handling and Lift Trucks	More injuries are caused by material handling than by any other cause. Many of the hand and back injuries are the direct result of trying to move some item from one place to another. Lift trucks can reduce some of the physical manual handling, but require special precautions to operate them safely. Supervisors will learn how many of these dangers can reduced.
21. Office Safety	Most people think of offices as being safe. But, many of the tripping, slipping, falling and material handling hazards are present in the office environment that may cause one of your people to be injured. Different exposures are reviewed and sound, basic actions for prevention are discussed.
22. Personal Protective Equipment	Supervisors should be aware of the different personal protective equipment that are available as a last defense in protecting hearing, eyes, feet and the human body in general. The types of equipment and their proper use are reviewed in this unit.
23. Power and Mechanical Equipment	Mechanical equipment may cause serious injuries because of the power these devices often have. Guarding methods such as barriers, interlocks, and restraints are discussed as specific ways of preventing workers from coming into action areas of machinery.
24. Worker's Compensation	Supervisors should have a basic understanding of Worker's Compensation procedures. This Module reviews the role of the supervisor in getting required compensation of wages for injured or ill employees caused by exposure to work hazards.
