Struck-By Hazards in Construction Environments

Struck-by accidents are one of the four leading causes of fatalities at construction sites. This training covers OSHA’s guidelines for how to recognize struck-by-hazards and prevent struck-by injuries. This course helps workers better protect themselves from injuries by being prepared.

These injuries come from being struck by flying, falling, swinging, or rolling objects. All four of OSHA’s recognized types of struck-by injuries are outlined in the training, with prevention methods included. Also, the multimedia presentation helps workers understand how damaged tools and building walls or using concrete can be a hazard. The selection, use and maintenance of the correct type of personal protective equipment is included within the training.

Use this course to show workers the safe work practices they must follow to prevent struck-by accidents at the construction site.
