Health Hazards in Construction

The Construction Industry Safety Training course provides a broad overview of workplace hazards, risk factors, and the regulatory requirements that shape jobsite safety. Participants will explore the fundamentals of hazard recognition, risk assessments, and the importance of OSHA regulations in protecting workers. The course covers a wide range of hazards common to construction—including mechanical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and environmental risks—while teaching workers how to evaluate potential dangers before accidents occur. Through practical examples, learners will gain insight into how effective safety procedures minimize risks and improve overall jobsite efficiency.

In addition to hazard awareness, this course emphasizes protective measures and proven safety practices that every construction worker should know. Topics include the proper selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE), the role of safety training in preventing accidents, and a variety of jobsite-specific safety tips that reduce risk exposure. By the end of the training, participants will understand how to apply safety controls, comply with OSHA standards, and contribute to a stronger culture of health and safety in the construction industry.
