Topics cover a range of key components from common plastics to complex high-tech subassemblies and industrial controls. Completion awards CEUs.
Electrical Safety
Mitigating electrical and fire risks are at the heart of product safety and compliance. Explore the hazard and mitigation techniques associated with electricity-related injuries as well as key practices for use of electrical insulation, information on clearance and creepage determinations, and much more. Completion awards CEUs.
Global Market Access
Learn what’s necessary to build a global compliance strategy for your product and take a deeper look into the compliance requirements of a variety of regions around the world. You’ll gain an understanding of everything from mandatory certifications and voluntary safety marks to privately issued requirements and the process for obtaining certification in a specific country or region. Completion awards CEUs.
Global Directives
Accessing the global marketplace means understanding the directives that facilitate product safety across countries. Understand the materials, chemicals and environmental restrictions required to access the European Union as well as how they impact those in the manufacturing supply chain. Completion awards CEUs.
Hazardous Locations Risks
Discover specific risks as well as the concepts for intrinsic safety and how to identify, classify and control hazardous locations.
Hazard-Based Safety Engineering
Understand product safety design strategies in terms of fundamental engineering concepts. Learn how to apply hazard-based safety engineering (HBSE) principles and risk management techniques in a variety of ways by analyzing sources of hazardous energy and exploring HBSE models such as the injury fault tree model and the energy transfer model. Completion awards CEUs.
Processes and Tools
Learn tools to get to market faster and with fewer variations by harnessing Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. These modules cover different tools used in building a Lean Six Sigma process, the roles necessary for a successful implementation and a case study demonstrating the concepts in practice.
