This course aims to instruct employees on optimal strategies for upholding workplace security and defending against cyber threats.

Learning Objectives

The primary goal of this course is to teach individuals how to identify security breaches in their workplace. The user will learn how to:

• Identify security breaches
• Respond to security breaches
• Be aware of their surroundings
• Practice proper safety procedures
• Safeguard against digital threats

The Security Hazard Awareness simulation is ideal for employees or supervisors in general industries.

Annually, thousands of individuals in the US suffer injuries caused by electricity. At times, workers may come across equipment and circuits that are powered or pose a risk of being energized during their tasks. Without adequate precautions, an arc flash incident can occur.

An arc flash, also known as a flashover, is an electrical discharge or explosion arising from a connection through the air to the ground or another voltage phase within an electrical setup. For instance, this happens when a wire comes into contact with an earthed system. Working near or within electrical panels and systems heightens the risk of exposure to an arc flash, necessitating extreme safety measures.

Learning Objectives

The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures while performing work activities around electrical areas. The user will learn:

• The proper locking out and tagging out electrical equipment
• How to properly do a Live – Dead – Live check
• Practices that can eliminate or minimize electrical hazards
• The proper use of electrical test equipment
• Electrical fundamentals
• Properly managing arc flash risks
• Electrical safety Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The simulation is ideal for personnel working in and around hazardous electrical areas.

The Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) recently hosted an exclusive Process Control Technical Work Group meeting at Endress+Hauser headquarters in Greenwood, Indiana. The meeting brought together experts in the process control and instrumentation industry to help validate certification standards for process control in areas such as process control systems, process control troubleshooting, and smart process instrumentation.

In this video, SACA Executive Director Jim Wall and Endress+Hauser Director of Workforce Development Nicole Otte discuss the importance of industry experts providing input on the skills and competencies needed for today’s smart manufacturing workforce. Collaboration with industry experts is essential to create nationally-recognized, occupation-driven certifications that will ensure that future workers have the skills employers need most.

According to Wall, “The whole goal of having the standards and certifications program is to help schools and colleges and other training providers develop and expand programs that include these new technologies, so that we get more people with these skills into the workforce.”
