This is an instructor-led course that teaches students critical skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency until emergency medical services arrives. Skills covered in this course include first aid for sudden illnesses, injuries and protection from blood-borne pathogens; choking relief and sudden cardiac arrest for adults. This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card in CPR and AED use to meet job, regulatory or other requirements.

Unit 3 Topic: Project Execution Planning. A full-day course that begins by articulating the roles and responsibilities for BIM use on a project using contractual BIM addendums. Participants learn how to define terms that are used to negotiate a BIM contract. Building on this knowledge, this course will explore concepts of liability exposure and standards of care that arise from using BIM. The course includes a BIM Execution Plan development workshop that takes students through industry standard templates while providing a detailed outline of all the procedural and substantive activities.

Every employee working at a jobsite that has a confined space(s) should be able to recognize and have a fundamental understanding of confined spaces and Permit Required Confined Spaces (PRCS). This knowledge is necessary to know how the signs and posted permits may be relevant to help yourself or another person avoid danger. A PRCS may exist that hasn’t been identified and you need to be able to recognize one in order to stay away from it and report it.
