| IHSA’s videos and podcasts provide timely, easy-to-understand advice for improving health and safety at your workplace. Our latest expert-led videos raise awareness of ice buildup at construction projects, which can remain a problem even as spring draws near. On the ground, ice is a significant slip-and-fall hazard; when it accumulates on roof edges, scaffolds, excavation walls, and other surfaces, it creates a struck-by hazard. The videos walk through the housekeeping practices necessary to protect workers on outdoor jobsites. |
