Construction Site Hazard Prevention

Learn how to implement an effective safety program on construction projects of any scale.

Be better positioned to avoid construction worksite injuries, illnesses, and property damage events by understanding what the most critical risk exposures involve. Learn which standards are related to these high-risk activities, what OSHA expects employers to do with regard to training, PPE, and other procedures to protect workers. This topic will also offer proactive strategies to protect their own employees, as well as third-party workers, and explain how to effectively manage OSHA inspections and incident investigations related to construction worksite accidents.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to describe the most common construction site hazards and how they relate to OSHA’s most-cited standards and National Emphasis Programs.
  • You will be able to identify why both safety and health hazards must be addressed effectively by contractors and employers to provide protection for all workers at a construction worksite.
  • You will be able to discuss tort liability exposure arising from construction site accidents in a multi-employer context.
  • You will be able to explain best practices for effectively managing construction workers and mitigating the most common hazards.
