TO: Given
current OSHA and industry information regarding construction worksite
illnesses, injuries, and/or fatalities, the student will be able to recognize
[fall, caught-in or between, struck-by, electrocution] hazards in construction.

Specifically
for each of the focus four, the student will be able to:
· EO 1:
Identify major hazards
EO 2: Describe types of hazards
EO 3: Protect him/herself from these hazards
