LOSH will soon introduce an innovative Green Building eTool to assist construction industry employers, employees, and consumers interested in saving energy through green building design. Offered free online, the educational tool highlights the latest methods available to introduce green building systems during construction.
These green building methods offer many benefits to human health and the environment, but they may also present unique hazards to workers. The tool details these potential hazards to educate workers who may be exposed to green building materials during construction. Finally, the new tool reveals how green building systems can create new jobs in the economy.
