Description: The majority of injuries and fatalities in highway construction are caused by four basic hazards:
• Falls
• Struck-bys
• Caught-in-betweens
• Electrocutions
OSHA calls these the Focus Four, because they account for approximately 90 percent of fatalities and serious injuries in the construction industry.
Pipe School is the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA)’s annual event where members, DOTs, consulting engineers, subject matter experts, and other industry personnel get together to discuss, learn, and engage with one another. The school advances the industry by teaching classes on production, advanced production, and quality, while engaging with industry stakeholders to ensure that they are provided with information vital to their decision making process.
