Overview

Workplace safety is a shared responsibility between employers and their employees.

Under the General Duty Clause, (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act of 1970,) OSHA requires the employer to provide a safe environment for their employees. However, each employee needs to be aware of the potential hazards they may be exposed to when performing construction work, take action to avoid or eliminate them, and report hazards/unsafe conditions as they arise.

This program is designed to provide learners with a high-level overview of a number of construction safety topics and safety rules to comply with OSHA standards. Specifically, the safety orientation training covers an introduction to generic safe work practices, various worksite arrangements, the safe use of tools and equipment, and procedures for what to do in the event an emergency occurs.

After completing this construction safety training, learners will be able to:

• Demonstrate safe work practices and procedures that can help protect themselves and others around them
  
• Identify specific jobsite arrangements that help maintain a safe work environment
  
• Recognize the hazards associated with using tools and equipment and identify safe ways to operate them
  
• Describe the appropriate actions to take based on their level of authorization in the event of an emergency
