This interactive course on Hazard Recognition in Construction Environments discusses the importance of hazard recognition, different types of hazards, and how to identify hazards in advance or in real time. It also provides practical guidance on how to investigate accidents and near misses. Countless employees are injured on construction sites every year because of “unrecognized” hazards. To ensure that every employee goes home safe at the end of the day, they must know about the hazards they can face and how to deal with them. When hazards are overlooked or employees are unprepared to deal with them, it can lead to disaster. Fortunately, there are methods for recognizing and dealing with hazards that can help to keep employees safe. Areas covered in the course include the need for hazard recognition, hazardous conditions and unsafe acts, identifying hazards in advance, “real time” hazard recognition, investigating accidens and near misses and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood… and retained.
