• Confined Space Hotwork
  #CO017 (13 min. 1988)
  Occupational
  This videotape gives welders a clear step-by-step checklist to follow when working in confined spaces. Covers safe work permit, preparation, atmospheric testing, fire watch and emergency rescue.
• Hexavalent Chromium
  #HX001 DVD (17 min. 2007)
  Occupational
  Hexavalent chromium is essential to a number of industrial applications: chromate pigments are used in dyes, ink and plastics, chromic acid is used in chrome plating and chromates are used to prevent corrosion in paints and other coatings. While these compounds can be very beneficial, they can also be harmful or lethal to those employees exposed to them. This program discusses the safe work practices these workers must follow to avoid exposures to this hazardous substance.
• Hot Work Permits
  #HO007 (11 min. 1994)
  Occupational
  Know the facts about hot works permits. This video motivates and teaches about:
  • What is hot work and what is a hot work permit?
  • When should a hot work permit be used?
  • What are your responsibilities?
  • What do you do when the job changes?
  OSHA requires a hot work permit (written work approval) under welding and cutting fire protection and process safety management.
