Construction sites are high risk working environments. Employees are expected to work at great heights with heavy machinery and potentially dangerous building materials. It's crucial that health and safety regulations are closely followed to reduce the chance of injury and protect the lives of workers.

Construction sites are dynamic activities where workers engage in many activities that may expose them to a variety of safety hazards, such as falling objects, working from rooftops or scaffolding, exposure to heavy construction equipment, or the use of temporary electrical circuits while operating electrical equipment and machinery in damp locations. Through implementation of safe work practices, training, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, the Workplace Safety course aims to identify, control, or eliminate construction-related hazards.
