This course will help you recognize common workplace hazards and explain procedures followed to prevent and report incidents. Did you know that hundreds of thousands of work-related injuries and illnesses are reported to OSHA every year? When a worker is hurt, it can lead to missed days from work or a new job assignment due to being unable to complete a current task. Common workplace injuries include fractures, sprains, bruises, lacerations, burns, and more serious injuries such as amputations, loss of an eye, or even death. In a recent annual study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the top two industries with the most work-related fatalities were the transportation and construction industries. Veterinary services and nursing were the top industries with non-fatal injuries and illnesses, respectively. These are not the only four industries where injuries, illnesses, incidents, and close calls occur; they occur across all industries, both public and private.

Learn how to select, use, and manage Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the construction industry. "Do I have to wear this? Is it protecting me? From what, and how can I be sure?" If these questions sound familiar, you`re not alone. The choice and variety of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the construction industry can often seem overwhelming. In this course, we`ll not only help you navigate the world of PPE but also understand its significance in the bigger picture of workplace safety. We`ll dive into the guidelines laid down by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) – including the General Duty Clause, 29 CFR 1910.132, and 29 CFR 1926.28 – ensuring you understand how to protect yourself and others from job-related hazards.
