Hazard Recognition In Construction Environments

The goal of hazard recognition is to make a job site safer by finding hazards in advance and either removing them or reducing their risk. This online safety training course teaches workers how to identify hazards at the job site.

This course explains the two types of hazards that cause accidents and injuries in construction environments. The first is hazardous conditions, and the second is unsafe acts. Viewers learn there are different types of hazards: physical, ergonomic, chemical, and biological. Examples of potential ergonomic hazards include frequent lifting, awkward movements, and repetitive motions.

Viewers also learn the importance of identifying hazards throughout the workday, and, when accidents do occur, how to find out why they happened. Complete this online safety training course to help make the construction environment safer for everyone.
