SAFE 3640 - Construction Safety

Institution:

Weber State University

Subject:

Description:

Construction workers sustain frequent injuries/deaths at their workplace for multiple reasons. These circumstances occur due to intrinsic and extrinsic causes. While their overall health, diseases, and fatigue level can be considered intrinsic factors, task/s at hand, hazards at the workplace, and lack of/improper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) can be considered extrinsic factors. These injuries/deaths affect the worker and their families, while the employer gets affected due to poor productivity and increased costs, such as medical compensation and hiring replacement workers. Preventing these injuries/deaths is mandatory, starting with recognizing and evaluating the risk factors while making society aware. Therefore, this course is focused on identifying, evaluating, and managing the risk factors related to construction safety.
