KCUC has contracted with two local service providers to deliver the ARSC Basic Plus Orientation Program. Hazardous Tek-Knowledgies (Haz-Tek) and Indiana University Southeast (IUS) will deliver the orientation on behalf of KCUC. KCUC members and clients rely primarily on sessions conducted at the two service provider locations; however, through special arrangements, orientations for large groups may be conducted at other locations. Participants may attend BOP at either location. Call (502)775-5968 for session schedules.

General industrial safety orientation is offered in two forms: "Basic Orientation Plus" and "Basic Orientation Plus Refresher". Basic Orientation Plus is conducted for persons who have never successfully completed the orientation, or whose badges verifying successful completion have expired for greater than 90 days. Refresher is available to persons who possess badges which verify successful completion of Basic Orientation Plus or Basic Orientation Plus Refresher, provided that expiration dates have not occurred, or so long as expirations occurred within ninety (90) days.

Basic Orientation Plus is a half-day program. Highly qualified, seasoned instructors guide participants through video based, interactive instructional units. A fifty question test is administered and requires a minimum grade of 70% to pass.

Each person who successfully completes a safety orientation at KCUC receives an identification badge, valid for one year from date of issue. If other specialized training is completed during that year, the same badge will be so coded, with the expiration date added for the new program.

Participant records, including tests and evaluation surveys, are kept on file at KCUC. Verification of successful completion will be furnished upon request to members and associate members. A processing fee may be charged for high volume requests.

The KCUC works with ARSC in constantly reviewing and refining the Basic Orientation Plus. However, the KCUC does not plan to limit its offerings to this program. In the future, the KCUC plans to offer courses such as: Site Specific Orientations, Hazwoper, OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 (use of OSHA manuals); Competent Person; Confined Space; CPR First Aid; and Bloodborne Pathogens.
