AB  - Construction safety is a critical and required educational component for construction programs. In the United States, most of the construction programs deliver this content in a stand-alone and dedicated course that aligns with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s outreach training content. The typical content includes an introduction to OSHA, regulations, compliance, focus four hazards (falls, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in/between), personal protective and life-saving equipment, health hazards, and elective topics (selected from a limited list). The long list of topics usually concludes the semester with some optional content and exams. Although this structure provides comprehensive coverage, it does not allow an opportunity to cover activity-specific hazards. This paper proposes a complementary approach to teach safety as a part of construction means and methods. This approach consists of two activities: identifying activity-specific hazards and developing solutions for these hazards. To illustrate the approach, multiple years of fatality data from the Census of Occupational Fatalities and Injuries were collected and analyzed for Concrete Contractors (NAICS 238110). The analysis resulted in major categories of root causes, circumstances, and environmental factors of fatal accidents. Examples of incorporation into the means and methods courses are included in the paper. This approach can be replicated with other specific construction activities and used as a valuable tool throughout the construction curriculum.
