OSHA, Health and Safety:
Jobsite safety is a critical component of the residential construction industry. With over 600 people killed every year by falls on the jobsite, builders are keenly aware of the risks involved in building homes. This is why its important for every member to have a jobsite safety plan that's reviewed with their employees and subcontractors regularly. And as the controlling contractor on the jobsite, builders are compelled to ensure that the right precautions are taken time and again. Whether you are updating your safety plan or creating a new one, please review these comprehensive resources available to you: Fall Protection OSHA Fall Protection Fact Sheet OSHA Fall Protection Guidelines OSHA Fall Protection Quick Card OSHA Scaffold Guidelines OSHA Scaffold Tips (English) OSHA Scaffold Quick Card (English) OSHA Scaffold Quick Card (Spanish) OSHA Residential Fall Protection PowerPoint (1.2 MB) NAHB Link to Fall Protection Webinar (90 minutes) Working Outdoors OSHA Working Outdoors Fact Sheet OSHA Sun Protection Tips (English) OSHA Sun Protection Tips (Spanish) OSHA Heat Stress Fact Sheet OSHA Heat Stress Quick Card (English) OSHA Heat Stress Quick Card (Spanish) OSHA West Nile Virus Fact Sheet (English) OSHA West Nile Virus Fact Sheet (Spanish) Electrical Safety OSHA Electrical Safety Fact Sheet (English) OSHA Electrical Safety Fact Sheet (Spanish) OSHA Electrical Safety Quick Card (English and Spanish) Trenching and Excavation OSHA Excavation Guide OSHA Trenching and Excavation Fact Sheet (English only) OSHA Inspections NAHB Guide to the OSHA Inspection Process OSHA Inspection Fact Sheet OSHA Inspection: What to Expect OSHA Inspection Guide (Spanish) Miscellaneous OSHA Guide to First Aid OSHA Injury Forms OSHA Guide to Hand and Power Tools OSHA Guide to Stairs and Ladders Recent Safety News NAHB Review of Fall Protection Changes (June 16, 2011) OSHA's New Fall Protection Guidelines - 90-day Delay Purchase safety videos and material from BuilderBooks.com!
