OSHA Focus Four - 3 bldr credits

Is your company prepared?

OSHA looks for all sorts of hazards on the job site, but these four cause the most injuries and fatalities in the construction industry:

• Fall protection
• Electrical work
• Struck by hazards (trench/excavation, heavy equipment hazards)
• Caught in between (confined space injuries)

This class is designed for Company owners, managers, or any personnel that will conduct field operations. This class explains the four categories of work that cause the largest number of deaths and injuries in construction. The class will discuss these hazards in detail and mitigation techniques as well as new equipment and systems available.
