The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) has launched a new web-based library that brings a comprehensive collection of education materials and resources designed for the construction industry.
“Safety professionals in construction now have a great resource for guidance on identifying and controlling risks to improve productivity and keep workers safe,” said Brad Giles, president-elect, in a prepared statement. “This approach enables ASSP to expand its reach and is ideal for the next generation of safety professionals who seek best practices and prefer online learning.”
The construction safety resource allows ASSP to reach safety professionals worldwide with high-quality content that is focused on their specific industry, it says. The first two eLearning modules target the most common safety issues faced in construction: fall protection and safety management. Web visitors will find articles, videos, blogs, podcasts, infographics, webinars, checklists, quizzes and other learning opportunities.
Construction safety professionals will also find information on how to advance their careers by getting involved in ASSP’s Construction Practice Specialty, a member community committed to advancing workplace safety through networking and educational opportunities for peers who face the same challenges.
“Building a better safety program in construction is a more viable goal with this innovative tool that brings vast information to your fingertips,” said Matthew Palmeri, administrator of ASSP’s construction practice specialty, in a statement. “I’m excited about what construction safety professionals can do with this online offering.”
