    • The “Construction Focus Four: Caught-In or -Between Hazards” lesson is part of the 4-hour block consisting of segments on each of the Focus Four Hazards: Falls, Caught-In or -Between, Struck-By and Electrocution. Because most construction fatalities are caused by fall hazards, falls must be covered for at least one hour, and we recommend at least one hour and 15 minutes. …

    • Overview
    • The purpose of this lesson is to provide workers with information that will enable them to recognize common caught-in or -between hazards at construction worksites. This Instructor Guide is intended to be used when presenting the OSHA Training Institute Construction Outreach 10- and 30-hour course. The lesson is comprised of the following four topics:
    • 1. What is a caught-in or -between hazard?
    • 2. What are the common types of caught-in or -between hazards in construction?

    • Instruction for this session:
    • 1. Ask the class for an example of a hazard on a construction site that could cause a worker to be caught-in or -between objects. Discuss the examples with the class. Be sure that examples of the most common caught-in or -between hazards (caught in machinery; buried in or by; crushed by; pinned between) are covered.
    • 2. Discuss “Content” section.

    • A. Definition
    • B. Examples
    • C. Statistics
    • NOTES:
    • Content for Topic 1:
    • The key factor in making a determination between a Caught event and a Struck event is whether the impact of the object alone caused the injury. When the impact alone creates the injury, the event should be recorded as Struck. When the injury is created more as a result of crushing injuries between objects, the event should be recorded as Caught.

    • B. Examples
    • Caught- in or -between hazards in construction cause accidents such as the following:
    • A worker was ripping a 6-inch piece of wood on an unguarded compound miter saw. His left thumb was caught in the saw and amputated.
    • An employee was performing diagnostic work on a water truck at a construction site. The worker crawled under the operating truck. The employee’s work shirt collar and coveralls became caught on a projecting set screw on the rotating pump shaft. …

    • Two laborers were framing out footing for foundation walls in an excavation 100-foot long by 45-foot wide by 10-foot deep. The adjacent property along the north wall of the excavation consisted of seven garages, with a 10-foot high cinderblock wall. The cinderblock wall was undermined approximately 2 feet and was not supported. The wall collapsed, crushing the laborers. One was killed and the other was taken to the hospital for back and shoulder injuries.

    • C. Statistics
    • In 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the total number of fatal work injuries involving caught-in or –between hazards remained about the same for all of private industry as in 2007. However, the number of such fatalities has increased by approximately 10% since 2003. In 2008, the private construction industry alone accounted for 92 of the caught-in or –between fatalities, or approximately 23% of the total.

    • B. Buried in or by
    • Major Hazards:
    • The major hazard related to buried in or by is cave-ins of unprotected trenches and excavations. Cave-ins crush or suffocate workers. In addition, trenches may contain hazardous atmospheres; workers can drown in water, sewage, or chemicals in the trenches; and if working around underground utilities, workers may also face burns, electrocution or explosions from steam, hot water, gas, or electricity. …
