Protect Your Workers...and Your Profits

The failure to properly train workers is one of the top 15 most frequently cited OSHA standards in residential construction and could cost a company up to $7,000 for a single serious violation.

OSHA requires each employer to train their employees to recognize and avoid safety hazards on the job and to understand the applicable safety regulations.

The new English-Spanish Jobsite Safety Video, developed by NAHB, provides an overview of the key safety issues residential builders and workers need to focus on in order to reduce accidents and injuries and to comply with OSHA regulations. The Jobsite Safety Video is based on the popular “NAHB-OSHA Jobsite Safety Handbook,” and both can be used to form an essential, comprehensive residential construction safety-training program.

The Jobsite Safety Video is available as two 20-minute videos — one in English, the other in Spanish — on one DVD. The English-Spanish Jobsite Safety Video covers the following topics:

Personal Protective Equipment
Housekeeping
Lifting Safety
Stairways and Ladders
Scaffolding
Fall Protection
Trenching and Excavation
Tools and Equipment
Vehicles/Mobile Equipment
Electrical Safety
Fire Prevention
Hazard Communication
