Cases of overexposure to lead have been significantly reduced thanks to the implementation of safety precautions. While lead is a hazardous substance, there are ways workers can protect themselves. Following OSHA guidelines helps ensure workers, their company, and anyone they come in contact with remain safe. Given the proper information, workers can avoid being overexposed to lead.
Of the two OSHA lead safety standards, one of them is specifically for the construction industry. There are many similarities between the two standards, as the video explains. Viewers learn about both standards, and the special instructions for the construction industry are explained in detail. The video familiarizes construction workers with the tasks in their field that present a higher risk of lead exposure.
Lead exposure can cause serious adverse health effects. It is important for construction workers to understand what they can do to protect themselves. The video teaches workers the symptoms of lead poising and tells them what to expect should they be overexposed. Viewers learn how to comply with OSHA standards.
There are still some sites where construction workers may be exposed to lead, so it is important for workers to know what to do when working in a contaminated site. The chances of adverse health effects can be reduced with proper training. Lead poisoning can lead to death, but compliance to the safety standards can help to preserve life. Use this online training video to prepare your employees to protect themselves and others from lead exposure while at the job site.
