Construction workers must be trained to recognize hazards specific to their job and the job site. Effective hazard recognition prevents accidents and injuries. Construction hazards include fall hazards, struck-by hazards, caught-between hazards, electrocution hazards, and material hazards. Fall hazards exist wherever a worker could fall 6 feet or more to a lower level. Ledges, roof edges, stairway openings, and scaffolding present fall hazards. Struck-by hazards occur where objects could move and hit workers including from equipment, tools, or falling objects. Caught-between hazards result from workers being trapped between two objects. Electrocution hazards exist wherever electrical conductors are energized. Hazard recognition training should be specific to the job site conditions and work being performed. Generic training provides foundation, but site-specific training is essential. Supervisors and crew leads must be trained on hazards to enable them to recognize unsafe conditions and correct them. Training must address recognition, assessment of risk, and appropriate control measures. Competent workers understand the hazards in their work environment and can identify unsafe conditions that others might miss. Daily toolbox talks (brief safety meetings) keep hazard awareness in focus and allow discussion of specific job site conditions. Communication between team members about hazards creates a safety culture where everyone looks out for hazards. New workers must receive orientation training covering site-specific hazards. Experienced workers may forget hazards and require refresher training. Training records must document that all workers have received required training.
