William K. Irwin, Jr., Executive Director, International Carpenters Training Center
Bill Carruthers, McGraw-Hill Professional, Einstruction, Texas Department of Criminal Justice

In this two-part presentation, Mr. Carruthers will first give an overview of ALEKS, a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically assesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking. The second part of the presentation will be an overview of testing (ExamView), the use of the new interactive classroom pads and curriculum already developed by McGraw-Hill with a dynamic power point presentation and how all this tie together seamlessly.

This presentation is designed to demonstrate the various ways to avail one's program
of the services of Helmets-to-Hardhats and internet access to its new
web site.h2h. While this presentation is directed to the joint apprenticeship and training committee members and union representatives, we encourage anyone who is interested in employing our veterans to attend.

Hearing Conservancy Tips and Trends
Presenters: Sharon Garber, PhD., 3M, and Paul Poncochar, CIH, 3M
Developing an effective hearing conservation program can be a challenge in the construction industry. This workshop will provide a review of key attributes of an effective program such as proper fit, selection, wear time and motivation. The new ANSI/ASSE standard for hearing loss prevention in construction (A10-46-2007) will be discussed.

Fall Protection 101: Back to the Basics
Presenter: Mark Dennington, President, Dennington Safety Gear
Why are falls still the leading cause of death and critical injury in the workplace? Today, manufacturers do not warn you of the hazards of the elongation systems. There are hazards that have not been exposed or explained. There are at least eight hazards, which are direct violations of the General Duty Clause. This is the federal law from which OSHA came into existence. Dennington Safety Gear is now returning to the basics and training with its aim being to expose the huge number of injuries occurring per year and why, to explain the federal fall protection standard and how it has changed from the original intent of the lawmakers. A live demonstration jump using new technology fall protection will be performed.
