Safety and Compliance Training
Online - On Site - On Campus

Keep your employees safe, avoid OSHA and other regulatory problems, and minimize occupational health and safety liability concerns with LBA University safety and compliance certification training.

We offer courses designed and presented by credentialed experts. Our objective is to team with your safety and risk management team to tailor training to your specific needs, where our standard training won't do. The LBAU team are experienced safety managers themselves, and understand the problems of creating and maintaining a properly trained and certified workforce.

All LBAU occupational health and safety classes are available for group presentation at your facility, or on the LBAU campus in Greenville, NC. Selected OHS courses are also available for individual or group self-study on-line. On-line group courses include a management interface to track and control your student's learning experience. Training is available nationwide.

LBA University OHS Course Descriptions

ADC1005: FCC AM Detuning Compliance
Signals from AM broadcast stations will induce electrical current in nearby tall metallic structures.  Towers that support wireless antennas are typically of a height that makes them efficient “antennas” to receive AM frequencies.  The induced current in those towers causes the AM frequency to be reradiated into the electromagnetic environment. AM broadcast stations’ Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licenses specify the maximum signal level that is allowed.  The additional signal level from a reradiating tower may cause the cumulative signal level to exceed the licensed value; thereby placing the AM station licensee in jeopardy of being cited for a violation by the FCC. In addition hazards of RF exposure exist with Detuned towers.

OSHA 10C, OSHA 30C: OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Construction Classes. 
This OSHA Outreach Training Program provides training for workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces. The 10-hour class is intended for entry level workers, while the 30-hour class is more appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility.

LOTO 101: Lockout / Tag Out 
The OSHA standard outlines measures for controlling hazardous energies—electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other energy sources. Whether you are a recent hire or an experienced employee, this program will expand your knowledge of the Lockout/Tag out (LOTO) standard.

FALL 102: Fall Protection 
Falls are among the most common causes of serious work related injuries and deaths. Falls can be prevented when workers understand proper set-up and safe use of equipment, so they need training on the specific equipment they will use to complete the job.

EAP 103: Emergency Action Plans
Well-developed emergency plans and proper employee training (such that employees understand their roles and responsibilities within the plan) will result in fewer and less severe employee injuries and less structural damage to the facility during emergencies.

GHS 1006: GHS - Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals 
The GHS is designed to streamline the hazard assessment, labeling, and hazard communication requirements within and between the countries that adopt it by promoting common, consistent criteria for classifying chemicals according to their health, physical and environmental hazards, and to develop compatible labeling, material safety data sheets (MSDS's) and other information based on those classifications.

CSE 109: Confined Space 
Entry Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered "confined" because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter, work in, and exit them. Confined space hazards are addressed in specific standards for the general industry and shipyard employment. Confined space hazards are addressed in specific standards for the construction industry.

POHT 110: Power Operated Hand Tools
