Safety Demos
The SCSA provides a variety of safety demonstrations on the proper use and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE). These demos are a great way to highlight the importance of PPE in a memorable way and build positive habits on your site to prevent common injuries. Reach out to learn more from an SCSA advisor and book a safety demo for your next safety meeting.
Back Safety Demo
Back injuries are among the most common construction claims. This engaging back safety demonstration uses a metal model to show the real forces acting on the spine when lifting improperly. Learn how proper alignment, leverage and fulcrums reduce strain and protect your back. Get your team to pause, plan and lift with the right technique before the work begins.
Eye Protection Demo
This demonstration shows the dramatic difference between regular glasses and certified safety glasses by firing a nail gun at each. Comparing the impact, the choice is clear which provides the best protection. It’s a powerful reminder of how quickly serious eye injuries can happen and how the right protective eyewear can save your sight.
Fall Protection Demo
If you work at heights, this demo is for you. It illustrates how the right gear can mean the difference between a close call and a life-altering injury. Using a weighted mannequin dropped from height, advisors compare forces on the body using a shock-absorbing lanyard and a standard lanyard. Your team experiences an unforgettable reminder that proper fall protection saves lives and careers.
Hand Protection Demo
Your hands are vulnerable to injuries on the job, so choosing the right gloves matters. In this demonstration, advisors put various glove types through abrasion, cut, puncture and tear tests, giving you a clear look at the difference in performance. It’s a practical reminder that protecting your hands with the right PPE is one of the simplest ways to prevent career-impacting injuries.
Head Protection Demo
This demo visually drives home how quickly serious head injuries can occur and shows you why a hardhat is essential on site. By dropping various tools onto a styrofoam mannequin head, with and without proper protection, you witness the drastic difference in impact. This striking comparison reinforces one simple action: never step onto a job site without wearing your hardhat.
Ladder Safety Demo
Build safer habits around one of the most used pieces of equipment on site. The ladder safety demonstration shows your crew the safe setup and use of step and extension ladders, aligned with industry best practices and legislative requirements. Advisors guide you through real-world scenarios to prevent the leading cause of fall injuries and strengthen your on-site hazard awareness.
Impalement Protection Demo
Not all rebar caps offer the protection you need. This interactive demo uses a water-filled jug dropped onto different rebar caps to reveal which truly prevent puncture, and which do not. The visual of a pierced jug underscores how easily a serious injury or fatality could occur. Crews leave committed to ensuring every piece of exposed rebar on site is properly capped.
