Construction Safety: Choice or Chance

Summary Statement

A 15-min. video produced by the Building and Construction Trades Department shows the four most common causes of deaths from injuries - falls from heights, electrocution (power line contact), struck by, and caught between - while following an ironworker and laborers to a job site, stressing to employers and workers the need for safety training, PPE, procedures that avoid shortcuts, and the right to refuse unsafe work.
