On any given day, nearly 6.5 million people are working at approximately 252,000 construction sites across the United States. Safety on the job is a top priority for these workers and their employers, since they can be exposed to variety of hazards, including: Falls (from heights); Trench collapse; Scaffold collapse; Electric shock and arc flash/arc blast; Repetitive motion injuries; and others.
As a construction worker, how will you prepare for a safe day on the job? What will you need to know and do? What can you expect your employer to provide in the way of safety training and equipment? What will be your responsibilities?
Join members of the Associated Builders and Contractors – Northern Ohio Chapter for answers to these questions, plus your own during the next Careers in Construction program, “Safety on the Job Site – What You Need to Know.”
