objectivesThe Other Health Hazards for Construction online safety training from OSHA Education School is an intermediate-level course that covers laser safety, lead in construction, and silica hazard awareness. Participants can expect to learn about how lasers are used in the construction industry, as well as the hazards associated with their use and potential risk mitigation techniques.
Lead is also used in the field of construction, and participants will learn safe handling techniques in all forms of lead. Finally, silica dust is frequently generated through construction activities, such as grinding, cutting, sanding, brushing, and abrasive blasting. This course will educate participants on overall awareness of these significant workplace hazards and necessary safe work practices.
