Additional Safety Training Considerations for Workers in Fort Wayne

While our onsite and online OSHA 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry are the gold standard for training about general hazard recognition and avoidance for workers and supervisors, there are many workers in and around the Fort Wayne area who face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require other specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses.

Cold Stress Prevention Training is essential for those working in freezing temperatures or even cool, damp conditions—whether outdoors or in workplaces such as refrigerated warehouses, food processing plants, or unheated job sites. Cold stress can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, and reduced dexterity, increasing the risk of accidents. This training helps workers recognize the early symptoms of cold-related illnesses and implement safe work practices to minimize risks in frigid environments.

Conversely, Heat Illness Prevention Training is critical for anyone exposed to high temperatures or humid conditions, where prolonged exposure can result in heat stress or even life-threatening heat stroke. Workers in construction, roadwork, landscaping or lawn-care, commercial kitchens, attic work, or buildings without adequate ventilation must know how to recognize the early signs of heat-related illness and know how why they need to stay hydrated, take proper rest breaks, and respond to emergencies. This training provides essential knowledge to help them work safely in extreme heat.

And workers in industries such as oil and gas, storm or wastewater management, and agriculture must be aware of the dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic gas commonly found in drilling sites, refineries, chemical plants, manure pits, grain elevators, sewers, and underground utility spaces. Without proper precautions, exposure can quickly become fatal. H2S Hazard Awareness Training ensures workers can identify H2S hazards, understand the importance of gas detection equipment, and follow emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.

Also, workers involved in any aspect of confined space entry operations must complete Confined Space Entry Training for General Industry before entering hazardous areas such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Supervisors overseeing confined space entry and attendants monitoring entrant safety must also be trained. These environments pose serious risks, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment. And those construction workers and supervisors involved in confined space entry operations must complete specialized Confined Space Training for Construction.
