Lesson 1Struck-by hazards: falling tools/materials, moving equipment, crane lifts, suspended loadsThis part centres on struck-by dangers from tools, materials, and machines. It includes falling items, moving vehicles, crane tasks, hanging loads, and controls like barriers, watchers, and no-go areas.
Spot overhead tasks and drop zonesTool tying and material fixing waysVehicle and machine path mappingCrane swing area and load path controlsWatcher duties and signal talksLesson 2Fall hazards: unprotected edges, scaffold gaps, openings, floor openings and stair voidsThis part details spotting and grouping fall dangers on busy sites. It covers edges, holes, scaffolds, floor and stair gaps, and checks exposure time, worker jobs, and needed fall guard systems.
Spot unprotected edges and front edgesFind floor, roof, and shaft holesScaffold gaps, entry points, and platformsCheck fall heights and exposure timeChoose barriers, covers, and PFAS choicesLesson 3Electrical hazards: live conductors, temporary power, incomplete installationsThis part tackles electrical dangers from temp and permanent setups. It includes live wires, temp power, unfinished installs, lockout tagging, and checks of cords, panels, and supply.
Spot exposed and live partsTemp power layout and load handlingCheck cords, GFCIs, and panelsLockout tagout alignment 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 elements affecting danger exposure. It covers absent or wrong PPE, tiredness, pressure, language hurdles, oversight quality, and ways to build safety culture.
Match PPE to job, danger, and settingSpot non-use and wrong PPE habitsRecognise tiredness, pressure, and distraction signsHandle language and reading limitsSupervisor attendance and example settingLesson 5Housekeeping and access hazards: congested routes, blocked emergency exits, trip/slip surfacesThis part focuses on housekeeping and access dangers causing many injuries. It covers material crowding, blocked escapes, bad lighting, trip and slip areas, and enforcing clear, safe paths.
Set minimum clear widths for access pathsSpot blocked escapes and exit blocksHandle rubbish, scraps, and loose materialsControl mud, ice, and slippery walk areasLighting and sight in passages and stairsLesson 6Systematic hazard listing from project context: falls, struck-by, tools, materials, fire, electrical, housekeepingThis part explains building a structured danger list from project papers and site walks. It covers common construction dangers and grouping them by job, place, trade, and stage for ongoing risk checks.
Check drawings, specs, and build scheduleSpot job, trade, and place-based dangersGroup falls, struck by, caught between, other kindsUse lists and hints without losing judgementRank dangers by seriousness and chanceLesson 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 basement parking risks, tight spaces, air flow limits, harmful airs, and monitoring changing weather conditions.
Basement parking design and traffic flowsTight space rules and entry choicesAir needs for fumes, dust, and waste gasesSpot oxygen lack and poison gasesWeather, heat, and sight effectsLesson 8Interaction and coordination hazards: multi-trade sequencing, inadequate exclusions, permit conflictsThis part looks at dangers when multiple trades, permits, and work areas overlap. It covers order clashes, poor no-go zones, permit fights, and ways to align safe joint operations.
Map overlapping trades, jobs, and time slotsSpot clashing permits and work approvalsDesign and enforce no-go and buffer zonesAlign crane, hoist, and delivery linksUse daily alignment and pre-job meetingsLesson 9Material handling and storage hazards: unstable stacks, improper stacking, inadequate signageThis part addresses dangers from shifting, lifting, and storing materials. It covers shaky stacks, wrong racking, hand handling risks, machine links, and signs to control entry and loading.
Check hand handling and overstrain risksStack height, steadiness, and support useRacking, shelving, and pallet store checksSeparate materials from paths and edgesSigns for capacity, no stacking, and entryLesson 10Fire and hot work hazards: welding near combustibles, hot work permits, fire watch needsThis part covers fire and hot work dangers on build sites. It explains fire starters, burnable loads, hot work permits, fire watch tasks, and alignment with building systems and local fire rules.
Check burnable materials and fuel sourcesSpot welding, cutting, and grinding spotsHot work permit process and recordsFire watch duties, time, and gearAlignment with alarms and fire stop systems
