Description
The hazards that hurt people are not always the hazards that kill them. Despite record-low injury rates, construction continues to experience unacceptable numbers of serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). This webinar explores the science of energy-based safety and introduces two powerful tools—the Energy Wheel and High Energy Control Assessment (HECA)—to help organizations identify high-energy hazards, evaluate safeguards, and strengthen SIF prevention efforts. Participants will learn why traditional safety metrics fall short and how to focus on controlling hazardous energy to reduce catastrophic events and build a safer, more resilient workforce.
Learning objectives include:
-
Is Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) a measure of safety performance?
-
How to explain the relationship between hazardous energy and serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs).
-
How to use the Energy Wheel to identify high-energy hazards.
-
How to apply the High Energy Control Assessment (HECA) framework.
