SUMMARY:Excavating and Trench Safety (Half-Day Hybrid Online Class)
DESCRIPTION:This hybrid online class will combine both live instruction and independent online work that you will complete during the day.  Independent work will include quizzes\, readings\, videos and short assignments.  Access to a computer with a webcam (either a camera that is built into your laptop or one that connects via USB)\, a reliable internet connection and a workspace that is free from distraction and noise will set you up for success.  \nThis course covers basic set up of a backhoe work zone\, covering cones\, barricades\, caution tape and other barriers; positioning of essential and non-essential equipment and the declaring of minimum distances for separating machinery and pedestrians. In addition\, the course includes information about Carbon Monoxide hazards while working in a trench. The course also covers excavation issues including utility location\, shoring for backhoe proximity\, inclines\, surface stability\, safe backhoe travel areas and cave-in prevention. \nTrenching and excavation work presents serious hazards to all workers involved. Cave-ins pose the greatest risk and are more likely than some other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities.  This course will address key steps towards preventing or greatly reducing the risk of cave-ins and other excavation related events.  The course accomplishes this by walking the student through ways to define soil classifications\, raising awareness about the importance of proper preplanning procedures\, identifying protective systems\, and describing sloping and benching options for different soil classifications. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Designing Pedestrian Facilities for Accessibility – online
DESCRIPTION:Facilities in the public right-of-way (including walkways\, ramps\, curb ramps and landings\, crosswalks\, and pedestrian overpasses and underpasses) must be designed\, constructed and maintained to serve all users. To meet the needs of all users\, those involved with designing\, building and maintaining infrastructure need a clear understanding of the wide range of abilities that occur within the population and the challenges in the public right-of-way faced by persons with disabilities. This course will identify applicable laws\, regulations\, guidelines and standards pertaining to accessibility for persons with disabilities. Requirements for ensuring accessibility in existing facilities versus work in new construction and alternations will be discussed. Design elements necessary for achieving accessibility in the public right-of-way will be reviewed. Best practices will be identified. A detailed handout will be provided\, including resources on accessibility. Specific Topics to Be Covered Include: • Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines: Laws and Regulations • Legal Requirements • Pedestrian Characteristics • Pedestrian Access Route (PAR) • Curb Ramps and Other Transitions • Detectable Warnings • Pedestrian Crossings • Street Furniture and Parking • Work Zones and Maintenance • Accessible Pedestrian Signals \nThe target audience for this workshop is local\, state and private sector personnel with responsibility for designing\, constructing and maintaining facilities in the public right—of-way. These include engineers (municipal and consulting)\, MPO staff\, technicians\, public works directors\, street supervisors\, crew leaders\, landscape architects and contractors.\n \nPDH – 6 hours\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Silica’s New Standard – Strategies for Municipal Compliance - Online
DESCRIPTION:Beginning on September 23\, 2017 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) implemented the new permissible exposure level (PEL) for workers exposed to respirable crystalline silica to be 50 micrograms per cubic meter over an average 8-hour period. Please note that this new exposure limit is expressed in MICROgrams (millionths of a gram). Without exaggeration\, if this silica dust is visible in a field operation\, this new PEL could be exceeded! Municipalities and construction contractors will be particularly impacted by this new regulation because of the variety of tools that are routinely used on concrete pavement\, sidewalk and curbing\, asphalt pavement and any number of other concrete related products in their day-to-day work activities. Jack hammers\, rotary hammers\, along with any number of different types of concrete saws\, chippers and grinders are of particular concern. Fortunately\, the new OSHA regulations do allow for special exceptions on a limited number of these tools. Moreover\, OSHA regulations require that respirator use (worn by workers) can only be selected and utilized as the last resort in achieving compliance. NC LTAP has a seven-hour program available for in-house delivery to help large and small organizations plan for\, implement and comply with this new\, much stricter workplace standard.

SUMMARY:Bicycles and Pedestrian: Meeting the Needs
DESCRIPTION:Many communities in the United States were not designed for pedestrian and bicycle travel. However\, today walkability and bikeabilityare important for active transportation and are indicators of a livable community. The objective of this workshop is to equip participants with information on designing and maintaining safer\, more comfortable\, accessible communities so that walking is a viable transportation choice for everyone\, including seniors\, children and people with visual\, mobility and other disabilities and that bicycling is a viable transportation choice for people of all ages.The class provides current information on the design\,operation and maintenance of successful pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Emphasis is placed on the importance of maintaining accessibility and MUTCD compliance while at the same time encouraging innovation. Course topics covered are outlined below. \nThis hybrid online class will combine both live instruction and independent online work that you will complete during the day.  Independent work will include quizzes\, readings\, videos and short assignments.  Access to a computer with a webcam (either a camera that is built into your laptop or one that connects via USB)\, a reliable internet connection and a workspace that is free from distraction and noise will set you up for success. \nRegister here! http://uva-tta.net/workshop/bicycles-and-pedestrian-meeting-the-needs-1-day-hybrid-online-class-01-05-2021/

SUMMARY:Designing Pedestrian Facilities for Accessibility – Webinar Series Course
DESCRIPTION:Facilities in the public right-of-way (including walkways\, ramps\, curb ramps and turning spaces\, detectable warning surfaces\, crosswalks\, and pedestrian overpasses and underpasses) must be designed\, constructed and maintained to serve all users. To meet the needs of all users\, those involved with designing\, building and maintaining infrastructure need a clear understanding of\nthe wide range of abilities that occur within the population and the challenges in the public right-of-way faced by persons with disabilities. This will be conveyed via discussion\, photographs and videos. The course will identify applicable laws\, regulations\, guidelines and standards pertaining to accessibility for persons with disabilities. Requirements for ensuring accessibility in existing facilities versus work in new construction and alterations will be discussed. Design elements necessary for achieving accessibility in the public right-of-way will be reviewed. Topics covered include the pedestrian access route\, curb ramps\, detectable warning surfaces\, crosswalks\, accessible pedestrian signals and on-street parking. Best practices will be identified. \nInstructor – Ronald W. Eck\, P.E. Ron is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at West Virginia University and Director of the West Virginia Local Technical Assistance Program (WV LTAP). \n\nPart 1 of 4: November 4 – 2:00pm to 3:30pm EDT\nPart 2 of 4: November 5 – 2:00pm to 3:30pm EDT\nPart 3 of 4: November 10 – 2:00pm to 3:30pm EDT\nPart 4 of 4: November 12 – 2:00pm to 3:30pm EDT\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Addressing Workzone Speed and Safety
DESCRIPTION:This 90 minute workshop will discuss the effectiveness of various work zone countermeasures used to reduce speeds and address crashes in work zones.  General countermeasures\, such as dynamic speed feedback signs and  transverse rumble strips\, are presented along with the impacts of other work zone features on speed and driving behavior.  The workshop highlights information gained from a recent project which utilized the SHRP 2 data to evaluate driver behavior in work zones. \nhttps://iowaltap.iastate.edu/events/workzone_speed/
