Construction and demolition sites face a wide range of threats and potential hazards, ranging from fires and explosions to acts of violence, pandemics and natural disasters. All of these can require emergency response operations, and OSH professionals can prepare for such events by applying risk assessment, situational awareness, planning and preparedness strategies.
This course, based on ANSI/ASSP A10.26, Emergency Procedures for Construction and Demolition Sites, will help you develop a base of practical competencies needed for emergency preparedness and crisis response, with a focus on planning and process implementation for emergencies on construction and demolition sites. The course does not address specific situations, such as on-scene firefighting tactics or active shooter scenarios as other standards address these scenarios in depth.
