OSHA Construction eTool Provides Safety Information in English and Spanish  Available in English and Spanish, Construction eTools from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration can help NAHB members educate their employees about safety and health issues. A full 20% of workplace fatalities involve construction workers, OSHA says, but “construction can be a safe occupation when workers are aware of the hazards, and use an effective Safety and Health program.” OSHA’s interactive, Web-based Construction eTool can help builders and their employees identify and control the hazards that commonly cause the most construction injuries. Information on this topic has been grouped into four areas: electrical incidents, falls, struck-by and trenching and evacuation. The section on falls, for example, points out that falls from elevations account for one-third of all construction deaths, and it then follows-up with information on identifying and avoiding the hazards that cause the most fall-related injuries: unprotected sides, wall openings and floor holes; improper scaffold construction; unguarded protruding steel rebars; and misuse of portable ladders. |
