Working in a construction environment can be hazardous, especially if the correct footwear is not worn. This training video highlights the proper way to dress while working in such an environment, and provides the viewer with instructions on how to prevent slips, trips, and falls.

Understanding how the human body maintains balance and stability is key when trying to avoid injuries on a construction site. Your center of gravity changes throughout the day based on different surfaces you stand on; this training takes the viewer through various situations and the prevention techniques that apply. The viewer is also shown ways to distinguish between slippery, moderately slippery, and non-slippery environments at work. The types of footwear best for all conditions are explored.

Individual safety is the focus of this course. Use this training to prevent additional hazards in construction environments. An interactive quiz follows each segment to ensure the viewer understand all key concepts and information.
