The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) will host a webinar exploring common struck-by hazards in construction and practical strategies contractors can use to protect workers from injuries.
Creating a Sphere of Safety: Preventing Struck-By Hazards from Every Direction will examine risks that workers face from above, around, beside, and within their immediate work areas. The discussion will cover dropped and falling objects, moving equipment and machinery, pinning and crushing hazards, unexpected movement from stored or mechanical energy, and interactions between workers and equipment.
