Construction Safety

Crane Safety in Construction Environments (M-124) Overview While there are many different types of cranes, they all have the ability to make many jobs much easier by lifting an enormous amount of weight. But they also share the potential for disaster when they are not operated safely. Crane-related accidents can often be deadly, due to the cumbersome and heavy loads that are lifted. A small miscalculation, or a brief moment of inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls, not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. A coworker could be injured or killed, and expensive equipment or materials could be damaged or destroyed. This course is designed to remind employees that most crane-related accidents are caused by human error, and that employees are the key to helping prevent these incidents. The course includes information on:

Physical and mental preparation

Equipment inspection

Hazard assessment

Boom cranes

Jib cranes

Overhead cranes

General and operational safety devices

Crane operations

Hand signals

And more Course Length: 30 minutes This course is available in the following formats: English, Spanish, SCORM 1.2

Dealing with Drug and Alcohol Abuse for Employees in Construction Environments (M-150)

Electrocution Hazards in Construction Part I (M-152)

The first in a two-part series on electrocution hazards, Electrocution Hazards in Construction Environments Part I “Types of Hazards and How You Can Protect Yourself,” discusses the major types of electrocution hazards, and how employees can protect themselves from electrical hazards and electrocution in construction environments. There are a number of causes of shock, electrical burns and electrocution. If the power to electrical equipment is not grounded, the grounding path has been broken, or there are live parts or bare wires, a fault current can travel through your body. Even when a piece of equipment or a tool is properly grounded, it can instantly change from safe to hazardous because of extreme conditions or rough treatment. Employees need to know what electrocution hazards to watch out for and how they can help protect themselves.


Electrical hazards and electrocution

Major types of electrocution hazards

Power lines and GFCI's

Power tools and extension cords

Electrocution Hazards in Construction Part II (M-153)

Overview

The second in a two-part series on electrocution hazards, Electrocution Hazards in Construction Environments Part II “Employer Requirements,” discusses the major types of electrocution hazards, and how employees can protect themselves from electrical hazards and electrocution in construction environments, as well as employers' responsibilities in these areas. Construction sites can contain a number of potential electrical hazards. OSHA defines four types of hazards that are associated with electricity, and three types of injuries that result from them. Direct contact with electricity through a power source, cord or transmission line is the most common type of electrical hazard, and can occur in a number of ways. Employers are required to train workers regarding electrocution hazards and the measures that they should take to control the hazards. Employers must also put procedures into place so that workers can get answers to any questions that they have about working safely around electrocution hazards.

Overview

Conflict in the workplace is inevitable. Anytime two or more people come together, they will eventually disagree about something. While some conflict can be healthy, it is often an indication that there is something wrong. If conflict is allowed to fester and grow without a resolution, it can lead to serious problems such as threats and even physical violence.

Crane Safety (M-122)

Overview

While there are many different types of cranes, they all have the ability to make many jobs much easier by lifting an enormous amount weight. But they also share the potential for disaster when they are not operated safely. Crane-related accidents can often be deadly, due to the cumbersome and heavy loads that are lifted. A small miscalculation, or a brief moment of inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls, not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. A coworker could be injured or killed, and expensive equipment or materials could be damaged or destroyed.

This course is designed to remind employees that most crane-related accidents are caused by human error, and that employees are the key to helping prevent these incidents. The course includes information on:



Hazard assessment

Boom cranes

Jib cranes

Both OSHA and NIOSH have recently issued changes to their respiratory protection training requirements. This course includes those changes such as new fit testing protocols and cleaning/disinfecting procedures as well as shows examples of the new N class respirator and other respirators being used in a variety of settings. One of the problems with many respiratory hazards (such as fumes or gases) is that employees cannot easily see them. Even more visible hazards, such as dusts, are often accepted as part of a normal work environment. As a result, many respiratory problems only become clearly evident well after the original exposure.

This course points out to employees why it is important that they learn to recognize and guard against respiratory hazards.
