Construction sites pose a number of health and safety hazards. This makes it extremely important for workers, managers, and other personnel to understand how to identify, avoid, mitigate, and prevent these dangers on the job. In addition to safety guidelines established by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the California construction workforce is also subject to more rigorous state-level standards issued by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), commonly called Cal/OSHA.
