VDUs are here to stay.  They are a part of most work environments, and clerical and management staff have to use them in the office of the 1990s.  Yet few people are using them correctly; some because they have not been provided with the right equipment, others because they do not know how to use what they have been given.  This training course addresses both problems.  It is a tool to improve the quality of your employees’ lives, which in turn will improve the quality of their work.  25 minutes.

COMMUNICATING PSM TO WORKERS
Video
Conducting a process hazards analysis and gathering critical information about process hazards are only the first steps in PSM; the results must be communicated to workers, both permanent and contractor hired.  One important way to do this is with stand-ard operating procedures; another way is with training.  This program addresses these topics, with particular emphasis on contractor personnel.  9 minutes.
