About

About this Course

Construction is a physically demanding occupation. Members of the construction workforce must carry heavy loads and perform physically repetitive tasks, both of which place them at risk of serious injury.

The demands of construction work can push the human body beyond its natural limits. Workers who must often lift, stoop, kneel, twist, grip, stretch, reach overhead, or work in other awkward positions are at risk of developing injuries.

These physically demanding maneuvers may lead to strains, sprains, musculoskeletal disorders, and other related injuries. Common injuries include back problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, rotator cuff tears, sprains, and strains.

In this course, you will learn the importance of understanding ergonomics, identify potential musculoskeletal risks at your workplace, and discover ways to prevent potential musculoskeletal injuries.

This course fulfills 1 hour of general elective credit toward earning or renewing your Site Safety Training (SST) card.

After completing the lessons and passing the 10-question final exam with a score of at least 75%, you'll receive a certificate of completion. You get three attempts to pass the final exam.

PLEASE NOTE: This is an awareness-level orientation ONLY. Your employers must provide you with specific training on:

Lifting
Using equipment that can cause musculoskeletal disorders
Any daily work activity with associated musculoskeletal hazards

What are the course completion requirements to earn CEUs?

To successfully complete the course and earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs), you must:

Complete the required time within the course curriculum before the course is considered finished.
Validate your identity at designated checkpoints throughout the course.*
Pass all quizzes and the final exam with a minimum score of 70% within three attempts or fewer before a certificate of completion can be issued and CEUs can be awarded.**

*How is identity validated during the course?

360training verifies each learner’s identity through periodic validation questions during the learning event. At the beginning of the course, learners are prompted to answer a series of personal validation questions. These responses are securely saved in the Learning Management System (LMS).

What is your childhood nickname?
What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?
What is your oldest cousin’s first name?

Throughout the course, the LMS will prompt learners to answer these validation questions at preset intervals (e.g., every ten minutes).

If a learner answers correctly, they are allowed to continue.
Incorrect responses may result in the learning event being temporarily locked.

This process ensures the individual completing the course is the same person who enrolled.

**How are CEUs calculated?

Upon successful completion of the course requirements, CEUs will be awarded according to the following standard:

10 hours of education = 1.0 CEUs
30 hours of education = 3.0 CEUs
5 hours of education = 0.5 CEUs

Important: Partial credit or adjusted CEUs are not awarded. Learners must fully meet all course requirements, including identity validation, time-in-course, and passing scores, to receive CEUs.
