Tasks and Corrective Actions

Workers in the construction industry face a number of health and safety hazards in their worksites every day, including exposure to materials like asbestos, crystalline silica, lead and chemicals. These materials can cause serious illnesses. These courses will provide workers with an awareness of the potential dangers and ways they may prevent or limit exposure. Ideal learners are all construction employees.

If you saw an unsafe condition at work, would you know what to do? If you were performing a safety inspection, would you know how to make the most of your time? In this course, you will learn how you can use inspections and observations to promote safety in your workplace. Ideal learners include managers, supervisors and safety committee members.

When someone gets a cut or suffers a puncture wound, precautions should be taken to prevent infection in order to help prevent serious or even life-threatening injuries. This course provides guidance on using machinery, knives and other sharp objects in a safe manner as well as treating cuts and puncture wounds. Ideal learners are all employees.

Have you ever heard the old expression that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? We can apply that expression to safety in the case of companies that keep doing the same things over and over but somehow expect that their workplaces will somehow become safer. The bottom line is that we have to look at what we are doing and figure out how we can improve. That is why we have incident investigation and causal analysis! This course will explain how you can turn safety incidents into opportunities for continuous improvement. You will learn about how to gather information, find underlying causes and take corrective actions. This course is intended for all industries and construction employees, including managers.
