Each year, thousands of construction workers suffer head injuries on the job. Based on historical data, over 50,000 nonfatal work-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are treated on average annually in U.S. emergency departments, and between 2003 and 2010, 2,210 construction workers died from a TBI. Some common causes of head injuries include: being struck by a falling or flying tool, material, or other object; falling and coming into contact with an object or surface; and coming into contact with overhead hazards.
During this webinar,, you will learn more about TBIs and their impact on construction workers, how to select protective headgear to prevent TBIs, and what the current OSHA, ANSI, and ASTM standards say about head protection.
