This course teaches workers how to recognize and prevent caught-in/between hazards on construction sites. Learners get practical guidance on staying safe around heavy equipment, unstable structures, trenches, and machinery. With clear examples and quick checks for understanding, the training builds strong hazard-awareness skills that help reduce serious job-site injuries.
The Caught-In/Between Hazards in Construction Environments course gives workers the knowledge they need to recognize and prevent some of the most serious job-site risks. Caught-in/between incidents happen when a worker is squeezed, trapped, or crushed between objects, machinery, or structural components. These events can lead to severe injuries or fatalities, making awareness and prevention critical.
As one of OSHA’s “Fatal Four” hazards, caught-in/between incidents remain a leading cause of construction-related deaths. This course helps learners understand how these hazards occur, how to identify unsafe conditions, and what steps to take to stay safe around heavy equipment, machinery, and unstable structures. Through visuals, demonstrations, and guided checks for understanding, workers gain practical skills they can apply immediately on the job site.
Caught-in/between hazard awareness is an essential part of construction safety. Workers who understand how crushing, trapping, and pinching incidents happen are better equipped to assess job-site conditions and respond proactively. This training builds a solid foundation in hazard recognition, equipment safety, and prevention strategies—supporting safer worksites and reducing the risk of life-threatening incidents.
