Focus Four Hazards in Construction 2009 Safety Training

The Focus Four Hazards in Construction training program is offered free at various locations nationwide due to the Susan Harwood Training Grant from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  The Focus Four Hazards in Construction are falls, electrocutions, struck-by's and caught-in's. These hazards account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry, and this information was used to develop the training program.  Over the last 11 years, on average, 640 workers were killed despite OSHA standards and special emphasis enforcement programs.
