THINK QUICKSAND: SAFETY AROUND BINS, HOPPERS & STOCK PILES — This
video emphasizes correct operating procedures which should be followed
when working around stock piles, storage bins and hoppers. It also points
out safety techniques to be used when clearing jams in hoppers, including
lockout procedures, safety harnesses, warning signals, etc. The videotape
clearly points out how materials which are contained within hoppers can
act like quicksand and bury employees alive if they are not following correct
procedures. (10 Minutes)

WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES — This video program addresses many
of the hazards which are associated with confined spaces. Those hazards
include mechanical equipment, noise, temperature extremes, fire, toxic
fumes and oxygen deficiency. It emphasizes the need for use of personal
protective equipment so that employees can enter a confined space safely,
work safely and exit safely. Considerable time is spent emphasizing the
need to monitor the atmosphere within the confined space for oxygen deficiency
as well as explosive levels of fumes and toxic gases. The need for proper
rescue procedures is also explained. (13 Minutes)

WORKING IN CONFINED SPACES — This video defines confined spaces,
permit-required confined spaces and three types of hazardous atmospheric
conditions. It reviews typical steps to follow in a confined space program
including safe operating plans, entry permits, monitoring, working with
a partner, communication methods, evacuation, and what to do if a monitor's
alarm sound. The role of an attendant during confined space entry is emphasized.

WHY PERMITS ARE IMPORTANT — The importance of the permit system
is reviewed. A “what can go wrong” scenario is played out. All
responsibility that signing off on a permit details are covered. This should
include evaluating the site, equipment and hazards, making sure conditions
are safe, and workers are trained, securing the area and using the proper
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). (9:04 Minutes)

CONFINED SPACES: YOUR TRAINING — Over half of the people who died
in confined spaces were rescuing others. Permit required confined spaces
contain many hazards. Your company should provide a written program and
hands-on training if you are required to enter these spaces. Elements of
a written program are discussed, as well as the basic outline of the actual
permit used. Testing and evaluation of the atmosphere, ventilating the
space, types of monitoring, attendant duties and symptoms of exposure are
discussed. This is a good refresher training video which provides a general
outline of confined space entry. (8:01 Minutes)
#507
CONFINED SPACE: USING CHEMICALS — Using hazardous materials in
a confined space presents a serious hazard. This video reviews atmospheric
testing for oxygen, flammables, and toxic materials. Permissible exposure
limits are also discussed. Protection from airborne contaminants through
the use of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), air purifying respirators,
supplied air respirators, and powered air purifying respirators is reviewed.

#524
CONFINED SPACE: AIR MONITORING — This video discusses OSHA’s
air monitoring requirements. Steps reviewed include identifying hazards,
implementing air monitoring procedures, continuous monitoring by entry
team, determining the proper instrument to use, profile readings at high,
medium, and low levels, and monitoring with ventilation turned off. Also
discussed are direct reading instruments (DRIs) and lower explosive limits
(LELs), and why readings are taken in certain order. (10:38 Minutes)
