Struck-By Hazards Prevention Training

Struck-by hazards prevention training is critical in preventing injuries from forcible contact with equipment or objects, which are common in high-risk jobs. Workers in industries like construction are especially vulnerable to these hazards, where falling, flying, swinging, or rolling objects can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities. Ensuring workplace safety requires identifying the various types of struck-by hazards and implementing effective preventive measures. This course covers the definition of struck-by hazards, identifies key hazard types, presents preventive actions, and outlines employers' responsibilities. The training also includes a handout, scenario examples, and a final assessment.
