MAJOR INCIDENTS ON SITE

Do You Know What To Do?

No one expects a major incident to happen on their construction site. A strong safety program, proper training and a culture that prioritizes safety are key to preventing incidents.

But the reality is—accidents can still happen. Equipment fails. Weather changes. Unforeseen risks arise. When the unexpected occurs, how you respond matters. 

John Agioritis, a lawyer with 15 years of experience in occupational health and safety, shares insights for every supervisor and employer.

Read on to ensure your team is ready for anything.
