The Construction Safety Orientation course introduces workers to the fundamental safety practices needed to prevent injuries on the job. Construction environments contain a wide range of hazards, and incidents often occur because of unsafe acts or unsafe conditions. This course gives workers the basic knowledge they need to recognize risks, use tools safely, prevent falls, and approach high-hazard areas like excavations and confined spaces with caution.

Learners explore everyday jobsite scenarios and review the core principles behind safe decision-making and hazard awareness. By the end of the course, participants will understand how to reduce risk, follow safe work procedures, and contribute to a safer work environment. This training is ideal for construction workers and anyone new to working on a construction site.

Construction work involves constant exposure to changing conditions, equipment, and work areas. A strong understanding of jobsite safety basics helps workers make safer choices and avoid preventable injuries.
