Construction workers are constantly exposed to serious
occupational hazards (such as electric shocks, falls, repetitive
motion injuries, scaffold collapse injuries etc) on worksites
which can prove fatal. However, those risks can be reduced a
great deal with OSHA 10 Safety Training. Here are some
topics the training covers that can ensure construction
workers remain safe.

SCAFFOLDING
 Scaffolding should be sturdy
enough to support weight
that is 4 times the maximum
intended load. Plus, it should
be installed on a solid footing.
 Scaffolding should not be
supported with unstable
objects such as loose bricks,
barrels or boxes.
 Scaffolding should always be
dismantled, installed and
moved under the supervision
of a competent worker.

FALL PROTECTION
 Aerial lifts and elevated
platforms can be used to
make elevated work spaces
safer.
 Workers should be
protected from roof edges
and floors via guardrail
systems complete with toe
boards and warning lines.
Control line systems can
also work in this regard.

LADDERS
 Ladders should be long
enough to reach elevated
work areas
 Damaged ladders should be
clearly marked, repairs,
replaced or destroyed as
soon as possible.
 Ladders should never be
loaded more than their
intended limit or more than
the manufacturer’s rated
capacity.

STAIRWAYS
 Slippery stairs should be
dried immediately to
prevent slips and falls.
 The treads should cover the
step and landing as well.
 Stairways should be clear of
debris and other dangerous
objects.

TRENCHING
 Workers should be
discouraged from entering
an unprotected and
unsupported trench.
 Trenches that are several
feet deep should have a
protective system in place.
 A registered and
professional engineer must
be employed to design an
appropriate protective
system for trenches that are
20 feet deep or more.

Needles to say, workers who
undergo OSHA 10 training have
higher chances of staying safe
on worksites from injuries or
worse.
