  TRENCHING & EXCAVATION SAFETY — This videotape uses computer
  graphics and live footage to create an easy to learn approach for such
  hazards as subsidence, soil cracking, hydrostatic pressure, and superimposed
  weight and vibration. The program then continues to illustrate how these

  CONSTRUCTION HAZARD COMMUNICATION: THE SYSTEM THAT WORKS — This
  videotape covers a right-to-know program for the construction worker. The
  program is presented by using the worker’s point of view. In the video-
  tape, areas such as the use of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), reading
  labels and training of employees are covered. Special attention is made
  to unique exposures which may be encountered by the different construction
  trades. In the program, workers from one trade are cautioned about being
  aware of hazards which may be created by other trades at the same job site.
  The various responsibilities of the worker, the supplier of materials and
  the contractor are clearly described. (25 Minutes)

  compensation program. This includes establishing a job site specific safety
  plan with zero accidents as the goal, as well as the intention to eliminate
  fraudulent workers’ compensation claims. This is an extremely motivational
  video and stresses the absolute necessity of a partnership between labor
  and management. Although it centers around the construction industry, the
  message is appropriate for any industry. (25 Minutes)

  THE SAFE OPERATION OF OVERHEAD CRANES — Overhead cranes are very
  prevalent in industry due to their ability to ease material handling efforts.
  When an accident occurs, it can be catastrophic. Accidents usually can
  be attributed to: lack of adequate inspections, overloading and lack of
  operator knowledge. This video emphasizes five points for the safe operation
  of overhead cranes — pre-operational checks, operational checks, planning
  the lift, operational rules and shutdown procedures. How to properly inspect
  chain and wire rope hoists is covered as well as pivot points, hoist drums
  and the overhead crane itself. Operational checks should include power,
  control, emergency stops, warning devices, limit switches and brakes. Planning
  the lift covers weight, dimension, characteristics, correct slinging and
  site specific hazards. Operational rules include safe weight of the load,
  lifting lugs, shock loading, visual contact, emergency procedures, never
  walk below load, leaving load suspended and dragging loads. A nine-step
  shutdown procedure is demonstrated. The video emphasizes that safe operation
  takes a dedicated effort of all involved. (18 Minutes)

  INSPECTION, CARE & STORAGE OF SLINGS — This video reviews
  various types of lifting equipment and accessories. The four "musts"
  reviewed for continued safe application of all lifting equipment are pre-use
  checks, care of equipment, planned periodic inspections and correct storage.
  Proper pre-use checks for chain slings, wire ropes and fiber slings are
  emphasized. Items to note include twisted links, cuts, dents, gouges, cracks,
  excessive wear and corrosion, damaged master links or connections, broken
  wires, birdcaging, stains, damage to sling eyes and hard spots. Recording
  results of inspections in a permanent log is covered as well as proper
  storage guidelines. (16 Minutes)

  PERSONAL FALL PROTECTION SYSTEMS — The types of personal fall
  protection systems, components of those systems, planning, maintenance
  and inspection are the major topics covered in this video. The three kinds
  of systems reviewed are positioning device systems, fall protection systems
  for climbing activities and fall arrest systems. The type of system used
  should match the work and minimize the fall distance. The importance of
  fall hazard training, correct procedures, limitations, anchor/tie-off points,
  inspection and storage are reviewed. Explained very clearly are why lock
  clips must be used, why shock absorbing lanyards are important and why
  body belts should never be used in lieu of body harnesses. Horizontal lifelines,
  vertical lifelines and self-retracting lifelines are also covered. (18:45

  TAKE TIME FOR SAFETY — In  our busy lives, we often are faced with time-management choices. When given the chance, we must always choose safety over time savings, because rushing causes us to lose  focus, skip steps, and make bad decisions. In fact, the time we spend staying safe is time well spent. In this program, workers learn the very real hazards associated  with rushing and being in a hurry. Through various examples, viewers will learn to recognize the symptoms of becoming rushed, why "hurried working" is  so dangerous and what steps they can take to stay safe. The program also makes the point that being in a hurry is not the  real cause of incidents and injuries, but rather a symptom of poor planning, poor choices and poor time-management – all of which can be prevented by proper  preparation and organization.

  CONSTRUCTION FORKLIFTS — According to OSHA, 85 people die and 100,000 are injured  yearly because of unsafe forklift operations — 100,000! But through proper  forklift training, these accidents could be prevented, fines can be avoided and  potential lawsuits averted. This important key  resource will help you comply with OSHA's  Final Powered Industrial Truck Standard (1910.178) and maintain  workplace safety. This DVD covers lifting  principles, start-up, walk-around inspections, and moving  a load. (DVD FORMAT – 15 Minutes)
