Every year in the U.S. more than 800 construction
workers die and nearly 137,000 are seriously injured while on the job.
Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious
hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by
heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, and asbestos.
The videos below show how quickly workers can be
injured or killed on the job and are intended to assist those in the industry
to identify, reduce, and eliminate construction-related hazards. Most of the
videos are 2 to 4 minutes long, presented in clear, easily accessible
vocabulary, and show common construction worksite activities. The videos may be
used for employer and worker training. Each video presents:
·
A worksite incident based on true stories that
resulted in worker injury or death.
·
Corrective actions for preventing these types of
incidents.
