Hazard Bulletin

Construction Equipment

Construction workers face serious risks when operating or working around heavy equipment. Recent fatalities and injuries investigated by MIOSHA show the urgent need for enhanced awareness, training, and hazard control—especially when using paving rollers, front-end loaders, and aerial lifts.
MIOSHA would like employers who have large construction equipment to take an extra moment for safety.
