Concrete and Masonry Awareness

In the construction industry, accidents, injuries and even fatalities may result from the premature removal of formwork, failure to brace masonry walls, failure to support pre-cast panels, the incorrect operation of equipment, failure to guard reinforcing steel and inadequate shoring, which can lead to formwork collapse. Incidents are preventable. Our training today will focus on GENERAL safety requirements all workers should know for concrete and masonry construction. You need structural engineers and other qualified, degreed professionals to coordinate technical safety matters beyond the scope of this course.
