MIA+BSI Releases New Installation Safety Video
MIA+BSI has released a new video, Natural Stone Installation: Best Practices for Safety and Success. This video is the Institute’s first collection of video modules focusing solely on installation safety, highlighting the fact that there is a striking difference between shop safety, where the environment is familiar, to being on location, where each setting is different and requires a clear plan of action. Completed as part of the 2016 Safety Initiative set forth by the Institute’s safety committee, 8 modules are included in the video, addressing the following topics:
- Overview of installation safety
- Identifying safety concerns early in the process
- Requirements for personal protective equipment
- Installation case studies
- Best practices for material loading and unloading
- Manpower and equipment
- Large-scale commercial installations
- Tile-setting best practices
