Description

This CLS: Safety Awareness—Struck-By Hazards course trains workers on how to use the OODA Loop to protect themselves and their coworkers against potential struck-by hazards on 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 struck-by 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 situational blindness, PPE, falling objects, flying objects, swinging and slipping objects, mobile equipment, and working near roadways. 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.
