Course Description
Site Safety Plan
Lifting heavy items is one of the leading causes of injury in the workplace. In 2001, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that over 36 percent of injuries involving missed workdays were the result of shoulder and back injuries. Overexertion and cumulative trauma were the biggest factors in these injuries.
This course will go over proper lifting techniques of heavy materials and explain why these techniques are necessary for safety and the success of a construction project.
