This document provides information on caught-in and caught-between hazards, which can cause crushing injuries when a person becomes pinned between two or more objects. Examples given include cave-ins during trenching, being crushed between a truck and forklift, and being caught between stacked materials and another solid object. The document recommends maintaining awareness of equipment, never getting between movable and immovable objects, ensuring loads are stable, and wearing seatbelts to protect against these hazards.

Construction Focus Four: Caught-In or Caught- Training
Between Hazards Buried-in or buried-by hazards can occur in trenches and during excavations. Cave-ins can Caught-in or caught-between hazards cause suffocate or crush workers, and scaffolds can crushing injuries when a person is squeezed, collapse and bury workers. caught, crushed, pinched, or compressed between two or more objects. Pinned-in or pinned-by hazards can occur when a worker becomes pinned between a solid object Examples of caught-in or caught-between and another piece of equipment, causing broken hazards are: bones and/or suffocation. Examples may include:
▪ Being caught between the wall and a piece
of equipment ▪ Being caught between stacked materials and another solid object ▪ Shoring and construction material in a trench Cave-ins during trenching Protecting Yourself from Caught-In or Caught- Between Hazards
You can protect yourself from caught-in or
caught between hazards by:
▪ Maintaining awareness of and distance
between equipment around you Being crushed between a truck and a forklift ▪ Never getting between movable materials and immovable structures
The following working conditions may ▪ Ensuring loads are stable and secure contribute to caught-in or caught-between hazards: ▪ Wearing seatbelts as appropriate
▪ Unguarded moving parts
▪ Unprotected excavations Remember… ▪ Heavy equipment tipping over ▪ Collapsing walls Certain construction activities, such as training in ▪ Working between moving and stationary scaffold erection, conducing excavation objects inspections, performing engineering surveys before demolition, and conducting ongoing inspections during a job, must be performed by a competent person.
