Construction

This course discusses the mechanics of slips, trips and falls, the types of hazards that workers are likely to encounter on a job site that lead to them, and the safe practices and equipment that they can use to stay safely on their feet. Most employees don’t give much thought to the prospect of slipping, tripping or even falling on the job. Yet these types of accidents account for more workplace injuries annually than any other accident category. Many of these injuries can be disabling… or even fatal. And because there is so much material, so many tools and pieces of equipment, and so much in the way of partially completed work, construction sites can be a virtual maze of slip, trip and fall hazards.
