What this lesson covers
This lesson covers how to spot unsafe conditions and at-risk behaviors on a construction site, including ones that have not caused harm yet, and how to trace behaviors back to the conditions that drive them. It matters because CHST questions ask you to tell conditions from behaviors and to choose a fix that addresses the cause, not just the person.
