Course Overview
The Health Hazards in Construction course offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals (AMIOSP) focuses on addressing the issues of occupational safety and health (OSH) in construction. Each construction worker, supervisor, and safety professional needs to know how to identify, evaluate, and manage health hazards in the construction field according to OSHA standards, including the General Safety and Health Requirements, 29 CFR 1926.20. The course outlines the requirements of the employers to shield employees from physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic hazards and to provide a safe and healthy work environment. Participants learn to identify common construction health hazards and the potential effects on workers' health including dust, silica, asbestos, lead, noise, vibration, heat stress, and other hazardous chemicals. The course teaches methods of hazard evaluation including monitoring and risk assessment and explaining the levels of the control hierarchy (engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE) assignment) to reduce and manage the risk. The attendees learn practical skills in health and safety program development and maintenance and training and compliance enforcement in the workplace. The course also provided a more detailed explanation on the importance of documentation, medical surveillance, and reporting to ensure compliance.
Course completion enables participants to predict health risks, apply control measures, and sustain a culture of safety and health awareness for all employees. This level of training enables supervisors and safety personnel to decrease occupational diseases, preserve the health of employees, and guarantee that all construction processes are executed safely, efficiently, and according to occupational health and safety standards.
