   • Given current OSHA and industry information regarding construction worksite illnesses, injuries, and/or fatalities, the student will be able to describe preventative/protective measures for hazardous materials found in the workplace.
   • Enabling Objectives:
   • 1. Identify types of hazardous materials and how exposures can occur.
   • 2. Identify hazards associated with hazardous materials, including injuries that may occur.
   • 3. Describe methods for eliminating physical hazards of hazardous materials.
   • 4. Describe methods for eliminating health hazards of hazardous materials.

   • INSTRUCTOR NOTE:
   • The content in this lesson plan is provided as guidance with the understanding that not all of the content can be covered in a 30-minute presentation. Therefore, it is up to the instructor to select information for his/her presentation that is appropriate for the audience in each class. The instructor should focus on hazards faced by the employees in a particular worksite, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this topic.

   • Workers may potentially be exposed to hazardous material hazards while on the job. The associated health hazards may cause sickness, illness, or even death; physical hazards may result in fire, explosions and the release of other dangerous energies. Also remember, exposure to health hazards may not be limited to just the worker, but to his/her family as well. Unlike safety hazards, some health hazards can be brought home with a worker, thereby exposing the family to the potential for sickness, illness, or death.
