It is not the intent of the content developers to provide compliance-based training in this presentation, the intent is more to address hazard awareness in the construction industry, and to recognize the overlapping hazards present in many construction workplaces.

It should NOT be assumed that the suggestions, comments, or recommendations contained herein constitute a thorough review of the applicable standards, nor should discussion of issues or concerns be construed as a prioritization of hazards or possible controls. Where opinions (best practices) have been expressed, it is important to remember that safety issues in general and construction jobsites specifically will require a great deal of site - or hazard-specificity - a one size fits all approach is not recommended, nor will it likely be very effective.

It is assumed that individuals using this presentation, or content, to augment their training programs will be qualified to do so, and that said presenters will be otherwise prepared to answer questions, solve problems, and discuss issues with their audiences.

No representation is made as to the thoroughness of the presentation, nor to the exact methods of recommendation to be taken. It is understood that site conditions vary constantly, and that the developers of this content cannot be held responsible for safety problems they did not address or could not anticipate, nor those which have been discussed herein or during physical presentation. It is the responsibility of each employer contractor and their employees to comply with all pertinent rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which they work. Copies of all OSHA regulations are available form your local OSHA office. This presentation is intended to discuss Federal Regulations only your individual State requirements may be more stringent.

As a presenter, you should be prepared to discuss all of the potential issues/concerns, or problems inherent in those photos particularly.

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION PRESENTATION*04:2011ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION PRESENTATION04:2011ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION PRESENTATIONThe term "accident" can be defined as an unplanned event that interrupts the completion of an activity, and that may (or may not) include injury or property damage. An incident usually refers to an unexpected event that did not cause injury or damage this time but had the potential. "Near miss" or "dangerous occurrence" are also terms for an event that could have caused harm but did not.Please note: The term incident is used in some situations and jurisdictions to cover both an "accident" and "incident". It is argued that the word "accident" implies that the event was related to fate or chance. When the root cause is determined, it is usually found that many events were predictable and could have been prevented if the right actions were taken -- making the event not one of fate or chance (thus, the word incident is used). For simplicity, we will use the term accident to mean all of the above events.
