CNA's Risk Control Creates PureSafety CD To Minimize Clients Risks, Educate Employees
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Approximately 45% of construction-related injuries occur to workers with one year or less of construction experience. To help new construction workers better understand their work environments and prevent construction-related hazards, CNA has partnered with PureSafety — a leading provider of online safety training and risk management software solutions — to develop a Construction Worker Orientation training CD.
"Risk prevention is our priority; so, we are pleased to share with our clients this CD that showcases workplace safety along with our employee performance standards which are higher than OSHA requirements," said Bill Boyd, senior vice president, CNA Risk Control. "Thus, when clients incorporate this software into their workplace practices, our goal is that they will maintain industry standards by lowering the potential for job-related injuries and fatalities."
The CD presents essential job safety information and education including injury prevention and job-related hazards that cover areas within all construction operations. Employees receive an actual account of potential hazard areas specific to their expertise. Then, upon completion of each section, they are tested on their knowledge. The CD is also available to members or participants in CNA's Commercial Affiliation Marketing (CAM®) construction program which meets the insurance needs of diverse, complex industries through the development of specially designed programs.
CNA Risk Control offers a wide range of services focusing on management accountability, cost drivers and developing business solutions to help customers improve their bottom-line profit.
