Course Overview
The OSHA Focus Four - Caught In-Between Hazards course offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals has an OSHA Focus Four - Caught In-Between Hazards course aimed at teaching construction workers, foremen, and safety professionals about identifying, avoiding, and managing “caught-in or between” hazards and OSHA construction safety standards (specifically, §1926) preventing hazards that can cause crushing, pinching, or entrapment like trench collapses, machinery, moving equipment, and material handling operations. The program helps employees understand employer liability for crushing, pinching, or entrapment hazards, such as trench collapses, machinery, moving equipment, and material handling operations, and helps employees understand scenarios and recognize risks involved when workers are caught between moving vehicles, heavy equipment, or structures that collapse. The course teaches the controls - engineering, administrative, and procedural - that help eliminate or mitigate risks. The training informs workers about proper hazard assessment, working with personal protective equipment (PPE), and best practices for working and operating around machinery, along with trenching, and confined spaces. They learn hazarding assessing for pinch points, safe working distances from moving machinery, the use of barriers, and the procedures of lockout/tagout and machine guarding. Other areas covered are counseling and teaching the employer about their responsibility of training employees, inspecting, and OSHA safety standards concerning the regulation of excavation, machinery, and material handling.
On program completion, participants can take initiatives to avoid caught-in- or caught-between incidents, encourage the enforcement of safety measures, and the establishment of an awareness and accountability culture in the team. The comprehension gained improves safety at the site, the chances of injuries or death become less, and the firm meets legal standards, which translates to better safety and increased productivity at the construction site.
