Course Description

The course is crucial for those who supply support services such as debris removal, utility and public works repair, demolition, heavy equipment operators, and other construction trades. Primarily targeted to the trades, this course helps participants distinguish between health and safety hazards found at a typical construction jobsite from those at a disaster work site. This course covers topics such as inspecting jobsites, using air-purifying respirators, and disaster site worker safety and health and to raise awareness that pre-incident training is essential to ensure worker safety and health in response to disasters.
