Blocking and Cribbing for Heavy Equipment
Servicing heavy equipment can be challenging. Heavy equipment is often large, uniquely shaped and impractical to move from the field for service work. Much service work requires the use of lifting tools such as hydraulic jacks, cranes and truck hoists. Because these lifting tools are used so frequently and are usually reliable, you may be lulled into forgetting that any lifting tool can potentially fail. But if you happened to be under a load during such a failure, chances are you would be injured or killed. That’s why raised heavy equipment must be properly blocked or cribbed. This lesson is designed to teach general blocking and cribbing safety principles and demonstrate how those principles are applied in various common blocking and cribbing procedures.

Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout for Construction
Working with electricity can be dangerous. Every year, between 300 and 500 people in the U.S. are killed by electrocutions at work. To handle electricity safely, you need to know how it acts, how it can be controlled, and its hazards. Workers performing service or maintenance on machinery and equipment may be injured by the unexpected startup of the machinery or equipment, or release of stored electrical energy in the equipment. In fact, failure to lock out machinery before working on it is a major cause of injury and death in the United States. These deaths and injuries can be prevented by establishing and following an effective lockout/tagout program. This training will tell you more about electrical hazards in construction work, safe practices when working with electricity, and the lockout tagout program and how it can save your life.
