OSHA: Fatalities from Improper Work Practices - 4 PDH

Back to: Specifications/Building
Email
This course is based on case studies taken from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s “Fatal Facts” —descriptions of accidents in which one or more workers died because of improper work practices. Reading and thinking about these case studies gives an immediacy and emotional impact—“Do you mean somebody died because of this?”—that can’t be obtained from an abstract discussion of general principles alone.

Very gripping content. Knowing that in each case someone was killed was enough to keep my attention for the entire three hours it took me to complete the course. Everyone who works on a construction site should study this course.
