The following training programs have been developed in both Spanish and English for the construction industry. These presentations focus on the Big Four Construction Hazards – falls, electrocution, caught-in and struck-by.
Please make sure you have your speakers "ON" and adjusted properly, these courses have audio to support the content and enhance your experience.
All training materials will cover the four hazards seen regularly on construction sites and will focus on the methods for the recognition and the prevention of these common hazards.
COURSE APPROVAL: This online course has been reviewed and accepted by OSHA for online training, information and distribution.
SELF PACED TRAINING: This safety training program is divided into four sections and you have nine months to complete each of these sections.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION: Upon successful completion of this entire safety training program, you will be able to download and print a certificate of completion.
TESTING: Quizzes – Each section is divided into 2 modules (Hazard Recognition and Accident Prevention). At the end of each module you will be quizzed on the material reviewed. You must answer all of the questions correctly before continuing to the next section. You can review these sections and take these quizzes as many times as necessary to ensure you are comfortable with the material.
This module will focus on the hazard of being “struck-by” something. Each year a surprising number of workers die from being struck-by falling, flying, slipping or swinging objects. These seemingly simple accidents were responsible for 596 deaths in the year 2004. Nearly 25%, or 148, of those fatalities happened in the construction industry. According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics, during 2004 there were 5,703 occupational fatalities. This means that approximately 10% of all occupational deaths are a result of being struck-by falling, flying, slipping or swinging objects.
This program will help you recognize common "struck-by" hazards and will show you ways to decrease those hazards at your job site. By the end of this program, you will be able to recognize and eliminate these hazards.
This module will focus on the hazard of being “caught-in” something. Each year a surprising number of workers die from being caught-in between materials, trenches, and machinery. These seemingly simple accidents were responsible for 387 deaths in the year 2004. Nearly one third, or 109, of those fatalities happened in the construction industry. According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics, during 2004 there were 5,703 occupational fatalities. This means that approximately 7% of all occupational deaths are a result of being caught-in between materials, trenches or machinery.
This program will help you recognize common “caught-in” hazards and show you ways to decrease those hazards at your job site. By the end of this program, you will be able to recognize and avoid these hazards.
Fall hazards are one of the most serious and most common hazards found on a construction site. Each year workers in all industries die from falls. According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics, during 2004 there were 5,703 occupational fatalities. Of all occupational fatalities, 815 deaths were caused by falls. Of those occupational deaths, 441 were in the construction industry. That means that more than 50% of all deaths from falls occur on construction sites. Overall, nearly 15% of all occupational fatalities are from falls.
This program will help you recognize common fall hazards and show you ways to decrease those hazards at your job site. By the end of this program, you will be able to recognize and control these fall hazards.
Electrical hazards are one of the most serious hazards found on a construction site. Electrical hazards are serious because they can kill you instantly. Each year workers die after contacting electric current. According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics information provided for the year 2004 there were 5,703 occupational fatalities. Of all occupational fatalities, 253 were caused by contacting electric current - 121 (48%) of all electrical fatalities were in the construction industry. Overall, nearly 5% of all occupational fatalities are from contacting electric current.
This program will help you recognize common electrical hazards and show you ways to decrease those hazards at your job site. By the end of this program, you will be able to recognize and prevent these hazards.
