“Focus Four for Health: Addressing Four Major Construction Health Hazards”

Presenters: Chris Ulriksen, Director of Life Sciences EHS; Mike Kenyon, Director of Contractor EHS

 “Health hazards in construction are a serious concern in many industries but very prevalent in construction.  Construction health risks can harm employees and are often overlooked by employers. Just as safety risks are controlled on construction sites, health risks can also be controlled.  Please join subject matter experts, Chris Ulriksen, Certified Safety Professional, and Mike Kenyon, Safety Management Specialist, with combined 45+ years of EHS experience to discuss OSHA Health Hazards with eye opening case studies on construction sites.   

 The material presented will discuss multiple types of health hazards and will describe why each is important and to provide practical / specific steps that employers and stakeholders can take to recognize, reduce, and control exposures.   Affected parties and groups directly impacted by health hazards and to benefit from this presentation include:  trade associations, labor unions, insurance providers, state and federal OSHA offices, industrial hygienists, safety professionals and C-suite executives.

We hope these groups find the guidance presented here helpful to further improve health conditions in the industry.            

The key Learning Objectives are the following:

  1. Identify health hazards that can have significant impacts on workers and businesses;
  2. Discuss efforts to reduce health hazards typically lag behind those for safety hazards on many construction worksites; and
  3. Health hazards can be effectively controlled, just as safety risks are.
