Industrial hygiene/health in construction has taken a backseat to schedules, deadlines, and at times, to visible safety hazards.
These videos and corresponding training aids describe the most prevalent health hazards in construction. AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter has published these materials through a generous Oregon OSHA grant. Please use them and share the information with contractors and construction workers.
