Marijuana. The Escape to Nowhere
Description
Every year, more than 800 construction workers in the U.S. lose their lives while on the job, and approximately 31,000 suffer serious injuries. As tragic or debilitating as these cases are, the reality is that they are also preventable. This video compilation uses powerful animated sequences to show how such hazards occur, and how close attention to OSHA safety standards can protect lives and livelihoods going forward. With an average length of three minutes, each clip focuses on a particular work setting and can be presented in stand-alone fashion or in conjunction with other clips. Scenarios focus on fall prevention, carbon monoxide poisoning, struck-by accidents, and excavation safety. The animation does not graphically depict bodily injuries, but each clip presents a true record of an actual accident. Scenarios include: Fall Hazards: Reroofing, Fixed Scaffolds, Skylights, Floor Openings, Bridge Decking, Leading Edge Work. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Portable Gas-Powered Equipment. Struck-by Accidents: Swinging Cranes, Vehicle Back-over. Sprains and Strains: Pulling Cables, Laying Stone. Excavations: Trenching.
