Lesson 1Struck-by hazards: falling tools/materials, moving equipment, crane lifts, suspended loadsThis part centres on hit-by dangers from tools, goods, and machines. It covers dropping items, moving vehicles, crane jobs, hanging loads, and controls like barriers, watchers, and no-go areas to keep workers safe on site.
Spot overhead jobs and drop spotsTool tying and goods fixing waysVehicle and machine path mappingCrane turn area and load path controlsWatcher duties and talk signalsLesson 2Fall hazards: unprotected edges, scaffold gaps, openings, floor openings and stair voidsThis part details spotting and grouping fall dangers on busy sites. It deals with edges, holes, scaffolds, floor and stair gaps, and checks how long exposure lasts, worker tasks, and needed fall guard systems in local conditions.
Spot unprotected edges and front edgesFind floor, roof, and shaft holesScaffold gaps, entry points, and standsCheck fall heights and exposure timePick guardrails, covers, and fall arrest choicesLesson 3Electrical hazards: live conductors, temporary power, incomplete installationsThis part handles electrical dangers from temp and lasting systems. It covers live wires, temp power, unfinished setups, lockout tags, and checks of cords, boards, and power spread to avoid shocks on Ghana sites.
Spot open and live partsTemp power setup and load handlingCheck cords, safety plugs, and boardsLockout tagout team-up with contractorsControls near water, metal, and wet jobsLesson 4PPE and human factors: missing eye protection/gloves, fatigue, language and supervision gapsThis part looks at PPE use and human sides that affect danger exposure. It covers missing or wrong PPE, tiredness, worry, language walls, oversight quality, and ways to build strong safety ways among workers.
Match PPE to job, danger, and placeSpot non-use and wrong PPE habitsRecognize tiredness, worry, and mind drift signsHandle language and reading limitsSupervisor being there and leading by exampleLesson 5Housekeeping and access hazards: congested routes, blocked emergency exits, trip/slip surfacesThis part focuses on cleaning and entry dangers that cause many hurts. It covers goods crowding, blocked ways out, bad light, trip and slip floors, and how to make sure clear, safe paths are kept in Ghana's construction.
Set least clear widths for entry pathsSpot blocked ways out and escape blocksHandle rubbish, scraps, and loose goodsControl mud, ice, and slippy walking floorsLight and seeing in halls and stairsLesson 6Systematic hazard listing from project context: falls, struck-by, tools, materials, fire, electrical, housekeepingThis part explains building a proper danger list from project papers and site walks. It covers usual building dangers and how to group them by job, spot, trade, and stage for ongoing risk checks on site.
Check drawings, specs, and build timetableSpot job, trade, and spot based dangersGroup falls, hit by, caught in, other kindsUse lists and hints without losing senseRank dangers by badness and chanceLesson 7Environmental and site-specific hazards: underground parking risks, confined spaces, ventilation and hazardous atmospheresThis part focuses on dangers from the site body and surroundings. It covers underground parking dangers, tight spaces, air flow limits, bad air mixes, and how to watch changing weather conditions in Ghana.
Underground parking setup and traffic waysTight space rules and entry choicesAir needs for smoke, dust, and waste gasesSpot low oxygen and poison gasesWeather, heat, and seeing effectsLesson 8Interaction and coordination hazards: multi-trade sequencing, inadequate exclusions, permit conflictsThis part looks at dangers when many trades, papers, and work spots overlap. It covers order fights, not enough no-go spots, paper clashes, and ways to team up safe same-time jobs safely.
Map overlapping trades, jobs, and time slotsSpot clashing papers and work okayDesign and hold no-go and buffer spotsTeam up crane, lift, and delivery linksUse daily team-up and before-job meetingsLesson 9Material handling and storage hazards: unstable stacks, improper stacking, inadequate signageThis part handles dangers from moving, lifting, and keeping goods. It covers shaky piles, wrong stacking, hand lifting risks, machine links, and signs needed to control entry and loading on site.
Check hand lifting and over-push risksStack height, steady, and support useRack, shelf, and pallet keep checksSeparate goods from paths and edgesSigns for load, no stack, and entryLesson 10Fire and hot work hazards: welding near combustibles, hot work permits, fire watch needsThis part covers fire and hot job dangers on build sites. It explains start sources, burnable loads, hot work papers, fire watch duties, and team-up with building systems and local fire rules in Ghana.
Check burnable goods and fuel sourcesSpot welding, cutting, and grinding spotsHot work paper flow and recordsFire watch duties, time, and toolsTeam-up with alarms and stop fires
