Lesson 1Struck-by hazards: falling tools/materials, moving equipment, crane lifts, suspended loadsThis part looks at struck-by dangers from tools, materials, and machines. It covers things falling, moving vehicles, crane work, hanging loads, and controls like barriers, watchers, and no-go areas to keep workers safe.
Identify overhead work and drop zonesTool tethering and material securing methodsVehicle and equipment travel path mappingCrane swing radius and load path controlsSpotter roles and communication 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 without guards, holes, scaffolds, floor and stair gaps, and checks time of risk, worker jobs, and needed fall protection setups.
Identify unprotected edges and leading edgesLocate floor, roof, and shaft openingsScaffold gaps, access points, and platformsAssess fall distances and exposure durationSelect guardrails, covers, and PFAS optionsLesson 3Electrical hazards: live conductors, temporary power, incomplete installationsThis part deals with electrical dangers from temp and fixed systems. It covers live wires, temp power, unfinished setups, lockout tags, and checking cords, boards, and power distribution for safety.
Identify exposed and energized componentsTemporary power layout and load managementInspection of cords, GFCIs, and panelsLockout tagout coordination with contractorsControls near water, metal, and wet tradesLesson 4PPE and human factors: missing eye protection/gloves, fatigue, language and supervision gapsThis part checks PPE use and human issues that affect danger exposure. It covers missing or wrong PPE, tiredness, stress, language problems, supervision quality, and ways to build a stronger safety mindset among workers.
Match PPE to task, hazard, and environmentIdentify non use and improper PPE practicesRecognize fatigue, stress, and distraction signsAddress language and literacy limitationsSupervisor presence and role modelingLesson 5Housekeeping and access hazards: congested routes, blocked emergency exits, trip/slip surfacesThis part focuses on cleaning and path dangers that cause many hurts. It covers piled materials, blocked escapes, bad lighting, trip and slip spots, and enforcing clear, safe paths for everyone on site.
Define minimum clear widths for access routesIdentify blocked exits and egress obstructionsManage debris, offcuts, and loose materialsControl mud, ice, and slippery walking surfacesLighting and visibility in corridors 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 common building dangers and how to group them by job, place, trade, and stage for regular risk checks.
Review drawings, specs, and construction scheduleIdentify task, trade, and location based hazardsClassify falls, struck by, caught between, other typesUse checklists and prompts without losing judgmentPrioritize hazards by severity and likelihoodLesson 7Environmental and site-specific hazards: underground parking risks, confined spaces, ventilation and hazardous atmospheresThis part focuses on dangers from the site and surroundings. It covers parking below ground risks, tight spaces, air flow limits, bad air, and watching changing weather and site conditions.
Underground parking layout and traffic patternsConfined space criteria and entry decision makingVentilation needs for fumes, dust, and exhaustDetection of oxygen deficiency and toxic gasesWeather, temperature, and visibility impactsLesson 8Interaction and coordination hazards: multi-trade sequencing, inadequate exclusions, permit conflictsThis part looks at dangers when many trades, permits, and work areas overlap. It covers order clashes, poor no-go zones, permit problems, and ways to arrange safe work at the same time.
Map overlapping trades, tasks, and time windowsIdentify conflicting permits and work authorizationsDesign and enforce exclusion and buffer zonesCoordinate crane, hoist, and delivery interfacesUse daily coordination and pre task meetingsLesson 9Material handling and storage hazards: unstable stacks, improper stacking, inadequate signageThis part deals with dangers from moving, lifting, and storing materials. It covers shaky piles, wrong stacking, hand risks, machine overlaps, and signs to control entry and loading areas.
Assess manual handling and overexertion risksStacking height, stability, and dunnage useRacking, shelving, and pallet storage checksSegregate materials from walkways and edgesSignage for capacity, no stacking, and accessLesson 10Fire and hot work hazards: welding near combustibles, hot work permits, fire watch needsThis part covers fire and hot work dangers on building sites. It explains fire starts, burnable loads, hot work permits, fire watchers, and linking with building systems and local fire rules.
Survey combustible materials and fuel sourcesIdentify welding, cutting, and grinding locationsHot work permit workflow and documentationFire watch roles, duration, and equipmentCoordination with alarms and suppression
