Aerial Lifts Factsheet
Aerial lifts are used to elevate workers and include boom lifts, aerial ladders, and scissor lifts. They have replaced ladders and scaffolding on work sites due to their mobility. Workers must be trained on the hazards of aerial lifts which include falls, falling objects, tip-overs, and electrocutions. Proper inspection and maintenance of aerial lifts is required along with securing the work area from overhead and ground-level hazards. Workers in aerial lifts must use fall protection and follow safety procedures for operation, loading, and movement.
Struck by hazards 2019
Struck-by hazards refer to injuries caused by impact from objects or equipment. They are the second leading cause of construction fatalities. Struck-by hazards can occur when workers are hit by flying, falling, swinging, or rolling objects. Employers must ensure proper safety protocols and training are followed to prevent struck-by injuries, such as securing materials, using barriers, and providing personal protective equipment. Workers should stay clear of heavy equipment, secure tools and materials, and be aware of potential hazards.
Caught in or between hazards 2020
This document discusses caught-in and between hazards, which are the fourth leading cause of construction worker deaths. It defines caught-in/between hazards as injuries caused by being crushed by or caught between objects, machinery, or equipment. The document then provides examples of common caught-in/between hazards like unguarded machinery, trench collapses, and getting pinned between equipment and structures. It also outlines steps workers and employers can take to protect against these hazards, such as using proper machine guarding, fall protection, and trench shoring.
Ladder safety
Over 1000 ladder-related deaths have occurred since 2000 according to OSHA statistics. The three largest risks when using ladders are falls, electrocutions from power lines, and ladders becoming unsecured. Proper planning and training can prevent these accidents. Employers must provide ladder safety training and ensure ladders are properly secured, maintained, and not overloaded before use.

- Falls are a leading cause of fatalities in construction. Fall protection is needed for falls of 6 feet or more from walkways, ramps, open sides, edges, excavations, roofs, and wall openings.
- Fall protection options include safety nets, hand rails, safety harnesses, guardrails, and fall protection systems which must be installed before work begins.
- Proper training and inspection of personal fall arrest systems is required to ensure the safety line can support 5000 lbs and prevent free falls of more than 6 feet.
Excavation safety
Cave-ins pose the greatest risk in excavations. Other hazards include asphyxiation, toxic fumes, fire, and moving machinery. Protective systems like sloping, shielding, and shoring must be used to protect employees. A competent person must inspect excavations and protective systems daily and after any changes in conditions to ensure employee safety.

Ladder safety is important as ladders are involved in many preventable deaths and injuries each year. Common risks include falls, electrocutions from power lines, ladder collapses, and injuries in confined spaces. Proper planning, hazard elimination, fall protection, training, inspection, and securement of ladders can help prevent these accidents. Alternative methods of access such as aerial lifts or fixed platforms should be considered where possible to eliminate ladder risks.
