Struck by Hazards

Course Description

This course is part of OSHA’s Focus Four topics, Struck-By Hazards in the Construction industry.

The course starts by diving into the fundamental concepts of struck-by hazards on construction sites, their prevalence, and the importance of recognizing them to ensure safety.

You will then get to review various types of struck-by hazards and examples.

Nearly all struck by injuries are preventable. You will get to review protective measures, safe work practices, and the use of personal protective equipment to prevent struck-by injuries on the job site.

Finally, you will learn about the responsibilities that employers must protect workers from struck-by hazards, the necessary training requirements.

You will learn that when employers follow all of this guidance for protecting workers from Struck-By hazards, workers are much less likely to sustain a workplace injury.
