Safety Awareness: Securing Loads

This CLS: Safety Awareness—Securing Loads course trains workers on how to use the OODA Loop to protect themselves, their coworkers, and the public against potential hazards when transporting materials and equipment to and from construction job sites. As they become more familiar with the four steps of the OODA Loop, workers will learn to **Observe** the work area for signs of load securement hazards, **Orient** to hazards and ask themselves how they can mitigate them, **Decide** on the safest course of action, and **Act** to eliminate any risk. Topics include vehicle inspections, loose materials and debris, basic load securement requirements, shifting loads, and unloading materials. At the end of the course, workers will put their learning to the test by entering our OODA Loop simulator, where they will go through each step of the OODA Loop to find and mitigate hazards in a 3D construction environment.
