Facility SafetyFacility Safety is a course designed to teach marina employees about the major safety issues they will deal with on a day-to-day basis in the harbor. The course was designed not only to make employees aware of hazards, but to give them the necessary information to eliminate hazards in the harbors and to protect themselves, other employees and the public. Employees who complete this course will gain valuable information for their own safety on the job, and will be able to educate the public and help keep others safe as well. |
Oil Spills: Prevention, Preparedness and ResponseThis course focuses on the nature of oil spills and their consequent environmental and economic impacts. It describes the causes and sources of spills and provides information to assist in developing and applying spill prevention strategies. Applicable laws and regulations related to the unlawful release of oil products and the necessary preparedness and spill response measures to mitigate the effects of these spills are also covered. Completion of this course will equip employees and others to assess the potential for oil spills, reduce the risks of discharges from boats, marinas and other shoreside sources and protect valuable marine resources. |
Marine Structures and MaterialsEffective operation and maintenance of harbors and marinas is dependent on employees having a solid understanding of the marine infrastructure installed at their workplace. This course will cover major marine structures and building materials found in a harbor or small port. Marine structures are built of materials designed to withstand use in a marine environment. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages inherent in using each marine building material will help harbor employees make good choices in their maintenance activities. |
