This is one of several free Powerpoints I found on an OSHA website for fire safety training.
I have posted it here as an example of a Powerpoint that would lend itself for being used with our Classroom Performance System respsonse pads for training, but others may want to use it for its own sake.
A confined space training PowerPoint covering the basics including a definition of a confined space, ventilation, gas monitoring, rescue and retrieval and more.
A PowerPoint Presentation for use with training on Confined Space. Includes the definition of a confined space, ventilation, gas monitoring, rescue and retrieval and more.
The presentation prepares technicians on the need to follow the right laws and principles of working in confined space. Safety and health implications of confined space. Equipment and devices required to work in a confined space.
Falls are one of the leading causes of occupational fatalities and injuries. These tips can help prevent falls and employee injuries. Includes links to fall prevention resources and information.

Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Editor's Notes
This presentation is designed to assist trainers conducting OSHA 10-hour General Industry outreach training for workers. Since workers are the target audience, this presentation emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, and control – not standards. No attempt has been made to treat the topic exhaustively. It is essential that trainers tailor their presentations to the needs and understanding of their audience. This presentation is not a substitute for any of the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or for any standards issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Exit Routes, Emergency Action Plans, and Fire Prevention Plans: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart E Fire Protection: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart L An employer who demonstrates compliance with the exit route provisions of NFPA 101-2000, the Life Safety Code, will be deemed to be in compliance with the corresponding requirements in 29 CFR 1910.34, 1910.36, and 1910.37. In 1995, more than 75,000 workplace fires cost businesses more than $2.3 billion.
29 CFR 1910.34 An exit route includes all vertical and horizontal areas along the route. Exit access is that part of an exit route that leads to an exit. Exit is that part of an exit route that is generally separated from other areas to provide a protected way of travel to the exit discharge. Exit discharge is that part of an exit route that leads directly outside or to a street, walkway, refuge area, public way, or open space with access to the outside. A refuge area is: - A space along an exit route protected from fire by a barrier with at least a 1-hour fire resistance rating; or - A floor with at least 2 spaces, separated from each other by smoke-resistant partitions, in a building protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system. Emphasis is on escaping from fires; however, some additional hazards include explosion,earthquake, bomb threat, toxic vapors, storms (tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.). Compounding factors that may interfere with safe escape include panic and confusion, poor visibility, lack of information, and misinformation. These factors frequently cause more injuries and fatalities than the hazard itself.
1910.36(a) and (b) 1910.37(d): Exit routes must be maintained during construction, repairs, or alterations
1910.36(c)
1910.36(d)
1910.36(e) High hazard contents are those which are liable to burn with extreme rapidity or which may produce poisonous fumes or explosions in a fire. Examples include flammable chemicals and grain.
1910.36(f) and (g) Information regarding “Occupant Load” is located in NFPA 101-2000, Life Safety Code. Objects that project into the exit route must not reduce the width of the exit route to less than the minimum width requirements for exit routes. An outdoor exit route is permitted if it meets the requirements of 1910.36(h).
1910.37(a) 1910.37(b)(1): Each exit route must be adequately lighted so that an employee with normal vision can see along the exit route
1910.37(b)(2) and (3)
1910.37(b)(4)
1910.37(b)(5)
1910.38(a) applies to all emergency action plans required by a particular OSHA standard, such as the Fire Brigades or Permit-Required Confined Spaces standard. The emergency action plan must be in writing, except for firms with 10 or fewer employees. These businesses can communicate the plan orally to employees. Emergency plans include, as a minimum: - Escape procedures and escape route assignments - Critical plant operations shutdown procedure - Procedure to account for all personnel - Assignment of rescue and medical duties - Means for reporting emergencies - Identification of responsible persons to contact for further information Employee training is necessary and an alarm system must be in place which has a distinctive signal. See OSHA Publication 3088, “How to Prepare for Workplace Emergencies,” available at www.osha.gov for more information.
1910.39 applies to all fire prevention plans required by a particular OSHA standard. The fire prevention plan must be in writing, except for firms with 10 or fewer employees. Those businesses can communicate the plan orally to employees. Accumulations of flammable and combustible waste materials and residues must be controlled so they do not contribute to a fire emergency. Currently a fire prevention plan is required by OSHA only where an employer’s written policy: - Requires immediate and total evacuation of the workplace upon the sounding of a fire alarm signal - Establishes an appropriate emergency action plan - Prohibits employee use of fire extinguishers See 1910.157(b)
1910.157(c)(1) Employers can choose whether to train their workers to fight fires or to rely on outside services.
The class of extinguisher should be on the extinguisher shell. The picture-symbol labeling system now in use is designed to make the operation of fire extinguishers more effective and safe to use through the use of less confusing pictorial labels. The system also emphasizes when not to use an extinguisher on certain types of fires. Because of recent information outlining the difficulties inherent in the extinguishment of fires in cooking appliances that involve combustible cooking media (vegetable or animal oils and fats), a new classification (Class K) has been established. This classification is not listed in OSHA standards. NFPA 10 specifies that listed and labeled Class K fire extinguishers are to be provided in these cases. Class A Class B Class C Class K
Class C extinguishers have only a letter rating because there is no readily measurable quantity for Class C fires which are essentially Class A or B fires involving energized electrical equipment. Class D extinguishers likewise do not have a numerical rating. Their effectiveness is described on the faceplate.
1910.157(c)(4) 1910.157(e)(3)
1910.157(g) Training and education required upon initial employment/assignment and at least annually thereafter. “ Incipient Stage Fire” means a fire which is in the initial or beginning stage and which can be controlled or extinguished by portable fire extinguishers, Class II standpipe or small hose systems without the need for protective clothing or breathing apparatus. [1910.155(c)(26)]
