Overview

Caught-In and Caught-Between hazards can trap, crush, or amputate body parts in seconds. This course shows why these hazards matter by placing learners in situations where they must recognize risk and choose the safest action. Learners build the critical thinking and decision-making skills needed to recognize pinch points, moving equipment, and unstable conditions before they become life-threatening hazards. An interactive simulation is available for desktop, mobile, and VR headsets.  Drawn from OSHA Standard: 1926.300 - .307, .416, .417, .650 - .652, & Subparts N, O, Q, CC, and industry best practices.
