ESHconnect Launches Online Semiconductor Course Library For Environmental, Safety and Health Training
ESHconnect Launches Online Semiconductor Course Library For Environmental, Safety and Health Training
(PRWEB) October 19, 2004
The semiconductor industry involves sophisticated manufacturing processes that require defined procedures regarding risk control. Semiconductor suppliers and device engineers have already achieved a strong record of success in this area. The key to preserving that success is accurate and consistent industry specific training for every employee.
ESHconnect is announcing the release of its Semiconductor Course Library, a training solution essential for companies seeking a proven, cost-effective approach to risk management. The Library is a web-based series of 28 e-learning courses encompassing the many significant safety issues faced by the semiconductor industry, from semiconductor process chemical safety to laser safety, semiconductor hazardous energy control, and personal protective equipment.
The Library is completely flexible and allows total customization. Customers have the opportunity to tailor content and process, using Library components to design a certification program unique to their needs. Content selection, allotted time to complete certification, and frequency of recertification can be built in to the process. In addition, these courses can become part of a Âblended learning program, a highly successful strategy which combines online coursework with hands-on practice and classroom presentations.
Industry leaders recognize the significance of ESHconnectÂs solutions to maintain work site safety and manage risk. Robert Bianconi, Manager of Health and Safety at National Semiconductor (NSC) explains why all 780 NSC fabrication employees and contractors are required to complete ESHconnect training. ÂWeÂre delighted with the training provided by ESHconnect. This is our second year going into our third. These are relevant courses specific to the semiconductor industry that use language our fab associates understand. Our employees consistently give ESHconnectÂs courses a 90%+ approval rating. According to Laurie Francis, also in Health and Safety at NSC, ÂEmployees retain information better with this type of interactive training. Now I have time to do my job instead of spending 60-70% of my time as a trainer.Â
Recognizing the need for defined safety standards in the semiconductor industry, SEMI®, a global organization dedicated to serving semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers, created and approved the ÂSafety Guideline for Training of Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Installation, Maintenance and Service Personnel (SEMI S19). The SEMI S19 standard provides the basis for the ESHconnect Semiconductor Course Library. ESHconnect is the first to use a global standard as the foundation for a comprehensive web-based training program designed exclusively for semiconductor equipment suppliers and maintenance engineers. ESHconnect developed content from its own subject matter experts as well as EORM and BOC Edwards, renowned authorities on semiconductor safety and process issues.
Brian Sherin, President and CEO of ESHconnect says, ÂThe Semiconductor Course Library represents extensive knowledge of the environmental, safety and health issues specific to the semiconductor industry. This course library helps users meet regulatory requirements, industry guidelines such as SEMI S19, and most importantly the requirements of their customers. We believe that ESHconnectÂs course library provides the foundation for a well-informed semiconductor workforce that is knowledgeable about risk avoidance and proactive about risk control. These courses also help an organization meet its training needs and goals in a cost-effective manner by limiting unnecessary travel and down-time expenses.Â
Robert Bianconi of NSC agrees. ÂWeb-based courses allow our fabrication associates to remain in the fabrication area for training. This is a timesaver because our fab associates donÂt have to de-gown. We realized an 84% cost savings over our previous training program.Â
