Resource Highlight: MCAA’s Health Hazards in Mechanical Construction Safety Training Video

February 13, 2026

While some injuries happen instantly from a single event, others develop slowly over time from ongoing exposure(s) to hazards. These long-term exposures can cause damage that equals or exceeds the impact of sudden events. Because exposures occur gradually, they are often not felt until its too late and serious harm has occurred. MCAA’s Health Hazards in Mechanical Construction Safety Training Video offers tips to protect workers from these hazards, which may affect hearing, breathing, or the ability to move. It’s just one of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.

The video covers four main areas:

  • Physical
  • Chemical
  • Biological
  • Ergonomic
