Job Hazard AnalysisThis booklet is for employers, foremen, and supervisors, but we encourage employees to use the information as well to analyze their own jobs and recognize workplace hazards so they can report them to you. It explains what a job hazard analysis is and offers guidelines to help you conduct your own step-by-step analysis.

Construction Safety Training Requirements in OSHA StandardsOne of the most difficult problems that I run into on a construction site is the lack of adequate training on the part of the subcontractors. Every day, I see workers tied off, but not properly. In a few minutes, it becomes obvious that those workers had received little or no training. Often, the subcontractor is oblivious to the fact that he has to provide training.
And it's not just fall protection. It's scaffold erection, forklift use, excavation and trenching, etc. So, in an effort to "educate" our subcontractors, I pulled out all of the references to training that appear in OSHA's 29 CFR 1926 and put them into one 78 page booklet. My intention is to get this booklet into the hands of our subcontractors. I'll keep a copy handy for myself too - it'll serve as a great reference tool.
If you would like to get one (or more) for yourself, click here for information. It's available in print format for $10, or for download for $6.25.
And, if you own a SONY e-reader or an Amazon Kindle, you can get it in e-book format for $6.00 - just click here.
Jobsite Safety JournalHere is a 150 page notebook ideal for use by Safety Directors, Superintendents, Foremen, etc. to keep track of notes made in the field regarding jobsite safety activities. The book is spiral bound for ease of use in the field. What a great way for you to make your field notes and to store them for future reference.

Superintendent's Pocket Book of Safety ChecklistsOne of the tools a superintendent can use on a construction project is to keep track of safety compliance and hazard abatement, is a safety checklist. Since checklists on clipboards or in binders can be cumbersome on a jobsite, this booklet is designed to fit in a pocket so the checklists are available whenever needed. Since it is bound, it can be easily stored with a daily log so that it is available in the event of a dispute or other legal entanglement. There is a place on the title page to insert the superintendent's name and a date range of included checklists.
