Lesson 1Struck-by hazards: fallin' tools/materials, movin' equipment, crane lifts, suspended loadsDis section focus on struck-by hazards from tools, materials, an' equipment. It cover fallin' objects, movin' vehicles, crane operations, suspended loads, an' controls like barricades, spotters, an' exclusion zones fi Jamaican sites.
Identify overhead work an' drop zonesTool tetherin' an' material securin' methodsVehicle an' equipment travel path mappin'Crane swing radius an' load path controlsSpotter roles an' communication signalsLesson 2Fall hazards: unprotected edges, scaffold gaps, openings, floor openings an' stair voidsDis section detail how fi recognize an' categorize fall hazards on active sites. It address edges, openings, scaffolds, floor an' stair voids, an' evaluate exposure duration, worker tasks, an' required fall protection systems in Jamaica.
Identify unprotected edges an' leadin' edgesLocate floor, roof, an' shaft openingsScaffold gaps, access points, an' platformsAssess fall distances an' exposure durationSelect guardrails, covers, an' PFAS optionsLesson 3Electrical hazards: live conductors, temporary power, incomplete installationsDis section address electrical hazards from temporary an' permanent systems. It cover live conductors, temporary power, incomplete installations, lockout taggin', an' inspection of cords, panels, an' distribution on Jamaican construction sites.
Identify exposed an' energized componentsTemporary power layout an' load managementInspection of cords, GFCIs, an' panelsLockout tagout coordination wid contractorsControls near water, metal, an' wet tradesLesson 4PPE an' human factors: missin' eye protection/gloves, fatigue, language an' supervision gapsDis section examine PPE use an' human factors dat influence hazard exposure. It cover missin' or incorrect PPE, fatigue, stress, language barriers, supervision quality, an' strategies fi strengthen safety culture in Jamaican work environments.
Match PPE to task, hazard, an' environmentIdentify non-use an' improper PPE practicesRecognize fatigue, stress, an' distraction signsAddress language an' literacy limitationsSupervisor presence an' role modelin'Lesson 5Housekeepin' an' access hazards: congested routes, blocked emergency exits, trip/slip surfacesDis section focus on housekeepin' an' access hazards dat drive many injuries. It cover material congestion, blocked exits, poor lightin', trip an' slip surfaces, an' how fi enforce clear, safe access routes on Jamaican sites.
Define minimum clear widths fi access routesIdentify blocked exits an' egress obstructionsManage debris, offcuts, an' loose materialsControl mud, ice, an' slippery walkin' surfacesLightin' an' visibility in corridors an' stairsLesson 6Systematic hazard listin' from project context: falls, struck-by, tools, materials, fire, electrical, housekeepin'Dis section explain how fi build a structured hazard register from project documents an' site walks. It cover typical construction hazards an' how fi classify dem by task, location, trade, an' phase fi ongoing risk review in Jamaica.
Review drawings, specs, an' construction scheduleIdentify task, trade, an' location based hazardsClassify falls, struck-by, caught between, other typesUse checklists an' prompts widout losin' judgmentPrioritize hazards by severity an' likelihoodLesson 7Environmental an' site-specific hazards: underground parkin' risks, confined spaces, ventilation an' hazardous atmospheresDis section focus on hazards created by di physical site an' environment. It cover underground parkin' risks, confined spaces, ventilation limits, hazardous atmospheres, an' how fi monitor changin' environmental conditions on Jamaican sites.
Underground parkin' layout an' traffic patternsConfined space criteria an' entry decision makin'Ventilation needs fi fumes, dust, an' exhaustDetection of oxygen deficiency an' toxic gasesWeather, temperature, an' visibility impactsLesson 8Interaction an' coordination hazards: multi-trade sequencin', inadequate exclusions, permit conflictsDis section examine hazards created when multiple trades, permits, an' work zones overlap. It cover sequencin' conflicts, inadequate exclusion zones, permit clashes, an' methods fi coordinate safe simultaneous operations in Jamaican multi-contractor setups.
Map overlappin' trades, tasks, an' time windowsIdentify conflictin' permits an' work authorizationsDesign an' enforce exclusion an' buffer zonesCoordinate crane, hoist, an' delivery interfacesUse daily coordination an' pre-task meetingsLesson 9Material handlin' an' storage hazards: unstable stacks, improper stackin', inadequate signin'Dis section address hazards from movin', liftin', an' storin' materials. It cover unstable stacks, improper rackin', manual handlin' risks, equipment interfaces, an' signin' needed fi control access an' loadin' on Jamaican sites.
Assess manual handlin' an' overexertion risksStackin' height, stability, an' dunnage useRackin', shelvin', an' pallet storage checksSegregate materials from walkways an' edgesSignage fi capacity, no stackin', an' accessLesson 10Fire an' hot work hazards: weldin' near combustibles, hot work permits, fire watch needsDis section cover fire an' hot work hazards on construction sites. It explain ignition sources, combustible loadin', hot work permitin', fire watch duties, an' coordination wid buildin' systems an' local fire codes in Jamaica.
Survey combustible materials an' fuel sourcesIdentify weldin', cuttin', an' grindin' locationsHot work permit workflow an' documentationFire watch roles, duration, an' equipmentCoordination wid alarms an' suppression
