Site Work Safety: Preventing Injuries Above and Below Ground

Construction job sites are rampant with hazards, above and below the ground, which means safety must be construction workers’ first priority. This course motivates workers to develop the safety mindset they need each day on the job.

Stressing the obvious and insidious dangers of site work operations, this course opens by preparing workers to accept that their job requires a “safety first” mentality. Collectively, the nine topics in this course, such as staying safe while lifting and placing loads or unloading and stacking objects, show construction workers how and why to prioritize safety.

Teach this course so all on-site construction workers are aware of the above and below ground safety hazards they face each day and the safety practices that will help them avoid injuries and fatalities.
