View Course
Backflow is an undesirable flow condition caused by a differential pressure that causes the flow of water and other substances into the distribution pipes of a potable water supply system. This can result in contamination of the potable water supply. Backflow contamination can occur if there are existing cross-connections, backsiphonage or backpressure conditions, and unprotected cross-connection or failure of protection devices. Elimination of cross-connections and prevention of backflow is essential to maintaining the safety and health of the water supply. This course highlights the methods of backflow prevention and describes seven commonly used backflow prevention devices. Duration: 1 hour; SKU: 3042;

View Course
Water distribution systems are a vital part of ensuring public health and safety. The primary purpose of water distribution systems is the delivery of sufficient amounts quantities of potable water at adequate pressure while maintaining state and federal water quality that meets or exceeds State and Federal regulation standards. While drinking water delivery is the most visible part of the distribution system, the system must be built to meet peak hour demands and maximum daily demand, plus fire flow requirements that firefighting can place upon it. Firefighting can require twice the pressure or more of normal delivery pressure. To meet these demands and goals, systems are designed by engineers working closely with water distribution operators. They work closely with city planners to meet residential and industrial needs while maintaining water quality. This course explores the various materials and equipment utilized in installing and maintaining potable water in clean water distribution systems. Duration: 1 hour; SKU: 3045;

Water is one of Earth's most precious resources, and beneath our feet lies a vast network of aquifers storing groundwater that sustains life across our planet. From ancient civilizations that dug wells to access these underground reservoirs to modern cities that rely on groundwater for drinking water supplies, understanding groundwater systems is important. Ground and surface waters are closely related and interact. Groundwater resources are relied upon for drinking water supply as more than half the population of the United States and Canada obtains its drinking water from groundwater. This course introduces groundwater hydrologythe study of groundwater its source as precipitation, how it moves, how it is stored, and its interactions. It briefly discusses the physical properties that govern groundwater flow, how aquifers function as natural water storage systems, and the interactions between surface water and groundwater. These brief topics cover how groundwater quality is assessed and protected, the basics of field investigation methods, and sustainable management practices. Because of the close interaction between surface water and surface events, purveyors should understand and monitor surface events such as precipitation, development, spills, watersheds, and droughts to protect and evaluate their impacts on drinking water sources. Topics covered in this course include fundamentals of groundwater hydrology, aquifer properties, flow dynamics, water balance principles, flow nets and pump tests, monitoring and groundwater quality, and sampling and analysis methods.

The goal of this online interactive course is to introduce you to a perspective on development and design practices that help professionals support communities in managing and sustaining use of local water resources. It is often said when discussing sustainable practices that people need to think globally and act locally. This is especially true when dealing with water resources. Unlike any other resource, water cycles through the earth's environments at global and continental scales, but each step of that journey serves as a highly valued local resource. This course will discuss a sustainable approach to water use and management in buildings, sites, and campuses. It systematically introduces key concepts that help practitioners understand the larger watershed and community water systems that local development practices impact, and the cultural, social, economic, and health benefits communities derive from earth's water systems. This course also introduces the consequences of conflicts between current development practices and these water systems and emerging developments practices that work better with, and have a lower-impact on, watershed systems. Brief overviews of LEED-BD+C v4.0 credits that contribute to improved water quality, reduced water use, management of local stormwater and groundwater resources are included to help orient professionals to practices they may wish to learn more about. Lastly, the author provides some examples of how strategies introduced in the lesson can contribute to and express the natural, cultural, social, and aesthetic character of places.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals can present numerous dangers to workers. More than 30 million workers are exposed to one or more chemical hazards across various industrial sectors. And with hundreds of new hazardous chemicals being introduced annually in addition to the estimated 650,000 already existing hazardous chemical products, the risk is increasing every year. This poses a serious problem for many workers and their employers. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), sometimes referred to as the Right-to-Know regulation, is designed to ensure that information about these dangers is shared with those who need to know. Chemical manufacturers, distributors, and importers must convey hazard information to downstream employers by means of labels on containers and safety data sheets (SDSs). In addition, all covered employers must have a hazard communication program to get this information to their employees through labels on containers, SDSs, and training. This course covers the HCS with an emphasis on what it is and how to comply, and incorporates recent changes made to the standard in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.

Struck-by and caught-between accidents are major causes of injuries and fatalities on construction worksites. Struck-by incidents are classified as accidents where workers are hit by swinging booms, falling objects (such as bricks from a scaffold), or flying objects (such as particles flying off an object being drilled or ground by a power tool). Caught-between accidents are often fatal occurrences when a worker is unwittingly caught in the gears of machinery; pinned between a vehicle and a wall, or even caught by the clothing or hair on a moving part and pulled into danger. This interactive online course provides information to assist the learner in the identification, avoidance, and control of these hazards in the workplace.
