Description
In the US, the construction industry has historically had the highest number of workplace fatalities annually. In an effort to reduce the number of fatalities, OSHA developed the Focus Four program, which helps employees recognize, evaluate, and control the hazards associated with the four leading causes of death in construction.
In this self-paced course, which features concise content and beautiful illustrations, you’ll learn about the primary causes of death in the construction industry, how to recognize safety hazards, and safe work practices that can reduce fatalities. The course culminates in a 10-question final assessment.
For more-in-depth training on related safety topics, Maestro has created the following courses: Slips, Trips, and Falls; Ladder and Aerial-Lift Safety; Heat Stress; Machine Guarding; Electrical Arc Flash Safety; and Lockout/Tagout.
