Caught in/caught between training program


Roofing workers face many job-site hazards—not only on the roof but also on the ground. There are many areas where workers can get caught in or caught between something on the job site. This program will show the proper work practices and safety equipment to use to avoid injury. Your workers will learn about the hazards associated with:
  • Below-grade waterproofing installations
  • Confined spaces
  • Cranes, conveyors and hoists
  • Excavation sites
  • Ladders and scaffolds
  • Lift equipment
  • Power-driven tools and equipment
  • Propane tanks
