COURSE DESCRIPTION

In a risk assessment,  potential events and consequences are considered. In this course, we focus on unwanted events such as failures and accidents. This could be, for example, a gas leak or afire at an oil platform, that equipment stops working during an operation in a hospital, or that an accident occurs during the execution of a work task. The risk analysis process consists of three phases:

1) Planning

2) Risk assessment

3) Risk management

This course shows how these phases can be planned and implemented in practice. There are many guidelines and standards on how a risk assessmentcan be carried out, and many are adapted to particular industries and professional areas. This course presents a general approach that can be used in most industries.

COURSE CONTENT

E-lærings kurset er ment å gi en så enkel som mulig veiledning for bruk av åndedrettsvern som de fleste norske virksomheter der støv er en utfordring, kan forholde seg til.

Hensikt:

Helseeffektene av støveksponering får stadig mer oppmerksomhet. Alt støv i store konsentrasjoner representerer en belastning på lungene. Støv i arbeidsatmosfæren må reduseres i mange bransjer. Selv om de yrkeshygieniske forhold bedres, vil det alltid være behov for bruk av åndedrettsvern ved arbeidsoperasjoner der eksponeringen er høy.

Effekten av bruken av åndedrettsvern avhenger av en rekke faktorer, og det er i dag mye flott utstyr å velge mellom, og det er mye kunnskap på området. Men for de fleste er det en utfordring å tilegne seg dette. Fagfeltet oppleves som en jungel, der man ikke helt vet hvor man skal lete.

Kurset gir bedriften et grunnlag for å vurdere utfordringer og tiltak.

Innhold:

• Hva er støv?
• Støv og helseeffekter
• Valg av støvmaske
• Valg av støvfilter
• Tilpassing av maska
• Vedlikehold av maska

This course is only available in Norwegian.

Stress is our body's way of responding to physical, emotional, or mental demands. Although typically associated with negative circumstances, stress can be caused by both good and bad experiences. Our bodies react to stress by releasing chemicals into the blood to give us energy and strength to handle the situation. This evolutionary reaction can be a good thing when stress is caused by real physical danger; however, this survival response can wreak havoc if it builds up without a proper outlet. This interactive online course discusses signs and symptoms of stress, and explains the physical and emotional effects of built up stress, such as pain and anxiety. The course also describes stress management techniques, treatment options, and lifestyle changes to help alleviate stress.
