Description

The course will address the following construction hazards:

Heat illness
Silica exposure
Contact with hydrofluoric acid
Falls from scaffolds, ladders, and equipment
Trips caused by broken and blocked walkways
Burns and eye exposures from welding operations
Fires
Noise
Exposed moving parts of machinery
Truck and equipment accidents
Trench collapses
Electrical shock
Material handling injuries
Biological hazards

This program is built for one purpose: prevent incidents before they become injuries, delays, claims, or tragedies—especially in public and low-income housing work where tenant protection and worker safety go hand-in-hand. You’ll get a practical roadmap for weaving safety into the entire project lifecycle, not just the construction phase. That includes concept development, initiation, planning, architecture, engineering, permitting, construction, inspection, and warranty—so hazards are controlled early, when fixes are easiest and least expensive.

We anchor the course in the U.S. construction safety foundation—the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970—then translate that framework into field-ready protocols for housing projects. You’ll learn how to set proactive requirements, coordinate contractors, and use audit-based risk identification to reduce incident frequency, insurance exposure, and schedule disruption. We also explore how to strengthen compliance defensibility by aligning safety programs with the expectations of investors, lenders, HUD, and insurance providers.

The course also covers what’s changing around housing oversight and inspections. We’ll explain how HUD inspections evolved from REAC to NSPIRE—including the increased focus on health and safety items such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, HVAC, GFCIs, pest control, and mold-related concerns. We’ll review NSPIRE’s updated deficiency categories (life-threatening, severe, moderate, low) and the practical meaning of repair timeframes (e.g., 24 hours for life-threatening issues, 30 days for severe/moderate, 60 days for low). You’ll also learn how tenant-initiated, non-routine inspections work and why they matter for readiness.

Finally, we’ll address 2026 trends shaping residential and mixed-use construction safety—including OSHA enforcement conditions, technology-driven monitoring, and why using AI in engineering and construction decision-making can introduce unmanaged risk and reduce defensibility. The course includes OSHA injury/illness recordkeeping and electronic reporting requirements (Forms 300A, 300, 301) and how the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) is used for submission.

Why Should You Attend?

Because reactive safety is expensive—and sometimes irreversible, proactive risk management is the only consistently effective method to prevent construction accidents, especially in housing projects where a single serious incident can trigger project delays, major financial exposure, and reputational damage. This course shows how to plan controls that reduce the risk of injury and death across initiation, planning, design, construction, and warranty phases. It also reinforces the ethical reality: allowing unsafe conditions to continue is unacceptable when hazards can be controlled with clear requirements, early planning, and disciplined oversight.
