This 3-min. video using photos and animation recreates the real-life series of events that led to the electrocution death of a 23-year-old construction worker from an overhead power line -- and how the death could have been prevented. Get an accompanying Toolbox Talk, poster and a one-page handout (see links below) to make for a complete training experience. Great for foremen, site supervisors and professional trainers. This true story is taken from a NIOSH FACE Report (see links below), which identifies factors that contribute to fatal injuries and gives comprehensive recommendations for preventing similar deaths. Look Up and Live is one of three short videos produced by CPWR -- The Center for Construction Research and Training. These 2-to-3 min. videos quickly illustrate actual construction fatalities from a step ladder, an overhead power line and a trench, then deliver important safety and health information so other workers do not have to suffer the same consequences.
