Photos shown in this presentation may depict situations that are not in compliance with applicable OSHA
requirements.
It is not the intent of the content developers to provide compliance-based training in this presentation, the intentis more to address hazard awareness in the construction industry, and to recognize the overlapping hazards
present in many construction workplaces.
It should NOT be assumed that the suggestions, comments, or recommendations contained herein constitute a
thorough review of the applicable standards, nor should discussion of “issues” or “concerns” be construed as a
prioritization of hazards or possible controls. Where opinions (“best practices”) have been expressed, it is
important to remember that safety issues in general and construction jobsites specifically will require a great
deal of site - or hazard-specificity - a “one size fits all” approach is not recommended, nor will it likely be very
effective.
It is assumed that individuals using this presentation, or content, to augment their training programs will be
“qualified” to do so, and that said presenters will be otherwise prepared to answer questions, solve problems,
and discuss issues with their audiences.
No representation is made as to the thoroughness of the presentation, nor to the exact methods ofrecommendation to be taken. It is understood that site conditions vary constantly, and that the developers of thiscontent cannot be held responsible for safety problems they did not address or could not anticipate, nor those
which have been discussed herein or during physical presentation. It is the responsibility of each employercontractor and their employees to comply with all pertinent rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which theywork. Copies of all OSHA regulations are available form your local OSHA office. This presentation is intended todiscuss Federal Regulations only – your individual State requirements may be more stringent.
As a presenter, you should be prepared to discuss all of the potential issues/concerns, or problems inherent inthose photos particularly.
