PREREQUISITES: Do I Need OSHT 1401 Introduction to Safety, Health and Environmental Management? It depends, Associated Builders and Contractors and the National Center for Construction Education and Research do not require it for the Construction Site Safety Technician certificate. However, it is strongly recommended if your science and chemistry background needs help and if you are unfamiliar with safety, health and environmental management programs 3.

Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator; office H-204B voice and voic ; fax TEXTBOOKS AND COURSE MATERIALS a) Code of Federal Regulations 1926 OSHA Construction Standards b) Field Safety, from the National Center for Construction Education and Research via ABC in Freeport (c) Quick Study Guides from BC Bookstore keep and reuse guides from previous courses Chemistry Essays and Term Papers First Aid Respiratory System 6. LABORATORY REQUIREMENTS: N/A 7. STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Students in the Safety Professions are expected to be able to communicate clearly in writing and verbally be able to visually observe normal workplace activity be able to physically access the nominal workplace environment 8, ACADEMIC HONESTY Brazosport College will not tolerate cheating or plagiarism on tests, examinations, papers, or other course assignments. Students who engage in such dishonesty may be given penalties according to College rules. ALL Term Papers will be checked against TURNITIN.COM Page 3 of 34

4 9. ATTENDANCE AND WITHDRAWAL POLICIES The Instructor may count tardiness as a partial absence. Since a significant part of the grade is based on class attendance, students are expected to be on time and attend the full class, until dismissed by the Instructor. General Brazosport College Policies and Procedures apply to self-initiated course withdrawal and the time period within which that may occur. Please check with the current published College information for details. The Instructor has the option to forcibly drop a student within the College allowed time period if the student misses three classes. Students who miss three or more classes may be assumed to have abandoned the class and may be dropped. It is the Student s responsibility to contact the Instructor and explain any and all missed class time. 10. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING POLICY GRADING: Midterm Exam: 20% Final Exam: 20% Quizzes: 20% Term Project 20% Class Participation and Assignments 20% Scoring: A (90-100%) -- Unqualified and unsurpassed mastery of the learning outcomes B ( %) -- Unqualified mastery of the learning outcomes C ( %) -- Qualified mastery of the learning outcomes D ( %) -- Mastery of the learning outcomes but with significant qualifications F ( %) -- Has not mastered the learning outcomes I (Incomplete) --Failed to complete assigned components. 11. TESTING: A Mid Term and a Final Exam are required. A variety of quizzes or assignments in place of quizzes may be presented at the discretion of the Instructor. 12. MAKE-UP POLICY: A student will normally be given only one week in which to make up missed quizzes or assignments. Students who miss class delay the ability of other students to received timely feedback on their work. It is the responsibility of each student to contact the Instructor on the day following the absence and to make time to come in before the next class to clear up the missed quiz or assignment. Page 4 of 34

5 The Instructor is usually expected to give a score of zero to quizzes or assignments that are two weeks or more late. 13. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES A. HOUSEKEEPING 1) Keep the room ready for the next class. When you leave each evening, the room is to be returned to the condition it was in when you arrived, or better. 2) We do not want to look like we were raised in a barn. Keep it clean and place all trash in the proper containers before you leave. 3) Do not alter the computer or audio-visual electronics. Improper use of computer and other equipment in violation of Brazosport College policies may result in penalties according to College rules. B. EXPECTATIONS: 1) You are largely responsible for your own success or failure as a student. 2) As a minimum, students are expected to read the assigned chapter(s) each week. Being prepared is a necessary part of your continuing education and a vital part of the construction industry. 3) We expect all assignments to be completed on time and to the best of your ability. 4) While we encourage cooperation with your fellow students, academic honesty is the standard; you are solely responsible for your own work. 5) We expect and will demand adult behavior in the classroom, both physical and on-line. We expect to have fun and hope you do too. 6) If there is a problem with the material call upon the instructor first for help. 7) There are no bad questions. Always ask if you are unsure. C. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES: 1) This is not a self-paced course, but requires weekly interaction with the class and the instructor. Like Woody Allen said Most of Life is about showing up. 2) It is your responsibility to read the syllabus and other information provided by the instructor, and to follow the instructions contained therein. 3) If you fail to submit assignment(s) or tests on time, the instructor has the option of not accepting the late work, or accepting the late work with a downgrade penalty. 4) You should make every effort to stay on track with the assignments, as it is very difficult to play catch-up. 5) If for any reason you should fall behind in their work, (illness, accident, temporary duty, etc.) contact the instructor immediately. 6) You must complete exams/papers and assignments prior to the end of the scheduled term, or risk being graded zero for that work and run the risk of failure of the course 7) At times, life situations occur where you will need to make hard choices between getting a good grade in a course (or even finishing it) and other priorities in your life, such as a job, Page 5 of 34

6 family, etc. It is up to each student to make those choices. Occasionally, one will have to make the commendable choice that job or family must take priority and then live with the consequences that has on your studies and GPA. The College has an ethical obligation to ensure that a level playing field is provided for all students, so those who make the hard choices don t get short changed by students who ask for extra time to get their school work done when they haven't made those hard choices. 8) Extensions/Incompletes are NOT a right, but a VERY RARE exception that are granted only in the most extraordinary of situations. If you feel that you will require an extension/incomplete (again, the exception, not the rule), it is your responsibility to contact the instructor BEFORE THE END OF THE COURSE and make this request. In most cases, written third party documentation will be required to support your request. It is at the discretion of the instructor whether an extension/incomplete will be granted and for what length of time it will be granted, with an absolute maximum extension period of 90 days. D. STUDENT COMPUTER RESPONSIBILITIES: 1) It is a fact of life that we must use computers to complete class work, access presentations and take some tests. You should have a computer, software, and internet access at hand to do this. If you do not, at best consult with the LAC in E-201. There are numerous campus resources available to you. 2) The default software being used is Microsoft Word for text documents and Microsoft PowerPoint for presentations. At a minimum, readers for these programs are downloadable free from the website. 3) The computer ate my homework is not an acceptable excuse. It is a fact of life that computers are not perfectly reliable, and those computers using Windows have a certain reputation. Users should learn how to survive and readily recover from crashed programs and the need to reboot. When creating your own work you should save the document after each page and learn how to recover from computer problems. If worse comes to worse, read the manuals. 4) The instructor generally cannot help you solve your computer problems. Exception problems with our files, in which case the Instructor will help to the best of ability. 5) You are responsible for your own SPAM and viruses. No one should use personal computers, or the Internet for these courses without possessing their own anti-virus software. If you open a strange and get your computer infected with a virus, it is your own doing and your own responsibility. You should learn how to block unwanted . E. TELECOMMUNICATION DEVICES: 1) All cell phones, Blackberry type devices, and PDA s MUST be turned completely off and stowed so that you cannot access them in the classroom. 2) Calculators are for sale in the BC Bookstore to support math problems, as long as they do not have stored test information they may be used. 3) Cheating via use of telecommunications devices will result in an immediate ZERO for the test involved and may result in further penalties.
