Semiconductor Ergonomics & Hazard Bundle

Course Description

This course bundle comprises six essential courses for semiconductor fabrication workers, focusing on safety and ergonomic practices. Courses include Semiconductor Ergonomics for Maintenance and Service, Semiconductor Fabrication Worker Safety Parts 1 and 2, and Semiconductor Hazardous Energy Control Parts 1, 2, and 3.

The first course addresses musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which often result from ergonomic injuries and are a leading cause of workplace absences. You’ll learn preventive actions to reduce ergonomic risks. The Semiconductor Fabrication Worker Safety courses cover anticipated manufacturing hazards and introduce control measures to maintain a safe working environment. The Semiconductor Hazardous Energy Control courses detail physical methods to manage hazardous energy, including Quantum Academy safety guidelines for interlock systems, hazardous energy isolation, and lockout/tagout procedures. Finally, the bundle introduces the structure of a Process Safety Management (PSM) program, covering workstation setup, material handling, and common maintenance tasks.

Course Objectives

• Select hand tools that optimize ergonomics.
• Recognize semiconductor manufacturing processes and associated hazards and controls.
• Identify employer requirements to establish and use a hazardous energy control program.
• Choose the correct energy isolation method for different types of hazardous energies.
• Order the steps in the lockout/tagout procedure.
• Identify the requirements for each step in an effective lockout/tagout program.
• Identify steps to be taken following the completion of the maintenance.
• Recognize Quantum Academy guidelines for safety interlock systems.
• Recognize the components of a Process Safety Management (PSM) Program.
