HOUSTON, TX — Hvacr technicians face workplace hazards every day. You know that most hazards are avoidable; most accidents, preventable. Prevention is a high priority for you and everyone in the company — or it should be.
Despite your efforts, it’s possible you can do more to keep everyone safe and healthy. For starters, OSHA has statistics you may not be aware of. While the administration doesn’t break down the statistics by trade, it appears the primary problems seen in construction here are also seen in hvacr, says Terry L. Stibal, assistant area director, OSHA Houston South area office.
