- How good housekeeping and "guarding" can reduce these hazards.
- The unique challenges of navigating walking and working surfaces in a construction environment.
Walking and Working Surfaces in Construction Environments: Floors and Pathways
- How clearly marked aisles and passageways can help to prevent accidents.
- The hazards posed by openings in floors and walls, "catwalks" and open-sided platforms.
- How railings and toeboards can be used to mitigate these hazards.
Walking and Working Surfaces in Construction Environments: Stairs and Fixed Ladders
- How unsafe behavior can cause accidents on stairways.
- How uniformity, strength and "guarding" of stairways can reduce slip, trip and fall risks.
- How personal fall protection can help to mitigate a fall from a fixed ladder.
Walking and Working Surfaces in Construction Environments: Portable Ladders
- How to properly inspect and set up a portable ladder.
- The danger of using portable ladders near power lines or energized equipment.
- How to use the "four-to-one ratio" to determine a safe and stable ladder set-up angle.
Walking and Working Surfaces in Construction Environments: Scaffolding
