When they hear “construction safety and health,” many people think of physical safety or acute injuries that happen suddenly, like falls, cuts, punctures, lacerations, or struck-by injuries. Some serious health hazards are less obvious. These hazards can affect hearing, breathing, the ability to move—your overall health. The effects of these health hazards can take time to develop.
