One 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.
Nice post. It is very much necessary that the people has to attend proper construction safety program. This will guide people to know all the construction safety measures which help them to be on a safer side and it avoids the accidents at the site.
ReplyDeleteThey don't require safety training programs such as osha 30 hr training online back in the time or in a lot of places but I am glad to know that there are a lot of companies requiring/providing it to their workers as they know the impact of such training programs for their success and their operations.
