Preventing SIFs in Construction -- Occupational Health & Safety

Preventing SIFs in Construction

Date: Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) remain one of the construction industry’s most critical safety challenges. This webinar will explore practical strategies for identifying and reducing the risks that can lead to SIFs on construction sites.

Attendees gain a clearer understanding of SIF terminology and relevant safety metrics, along with approaches owners, contractors and subcontractors can use to strengthen prevention efforts. Real-world examples demonstrate how these principles apply to common construction hazards, with an emphasis on planning, processes and worker engagement.

The session also examines how Prevention through Design (PtD) addresses hazards earlier, helping reduce risk while potentially improving constructability and controlling costs.
