What this lesson covers
This lesson covers the practical side of emergencies on a construction site: setting up firefighting equipment, medical access, drainage and communications before anything goes wrong, then responding and restarting work safely afterward. It matters because CHST questions ask what must be in place before work begins and what has to happen before crews go back in.
