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, take action to avoid or eliminate them, and report hazards/unsafe conditions as they arise.
Construction Safety Basics: Safe use of Equipment is designed to provide learners with a high-level overview of a number of construction-related safety topics. Specifically, it covers an introduction to the safe use of tools and equipment.
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Identify specific jobsite arrangements that help maintain a safe work environment
