Description:
"The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and The Center for Construction Research and Training - CPWR developed the Construction Toolbox Talks series to raise awareness of workplace hazards and how to prevent injuries and illnesses. This series is free and accessible online. Foremen, supervisors, business owners and safety trainers can use the toolbox talks to lead discussions that focus attention on hazards workers may face that day or week on the job, as well as to supplement or reinforce other safety and health training efforts. The objective of this toolbox talk series is to keep safety front and center at the worksite. All fuels, even diesel and "cleaner" fuels such as propane, create carbon monoxide. This gas is a common byproduct of any combustion process. Carbon monoxide is an invisible gas with no taste or smell. It is especially dangerous if it builds up indoors. It is just slightly lighter than air, so it can hang around in enclosed spaces." - NIOSHTIC-2
