Arbor’s Risk Management Training Program will provide a general overview of the construction industry’s three hot topics, providing each participant enough knowledge to establish their own program upon completion.

Topics will include Confined Space, Personal Protective Equipment and Job Safety/Hazard Analysis.

Confined Space

The Confined Space training will include a review of the standards. A comparison between construction and general industry standards will be provided along with a sample permit and pre-entry checklist. Alternate confined space procedures will also be reviewed and discussed. There will be a demonstration on the use of a four-gas monitor including a bump test.

Personal Protective Equipment

The Personal Protective Equipment training will cover both construction and general industry regulations. While construction standards are focused on contractors, many don’t realize the general industry regulations also apply to their shop locations if machinery and equipment is repaired or serviced.  Personal protective equipment is on OSHA’s top ten list of violations. A PPE Hazard Assessment procedure will be provided during this portion of the training.

Job Safety/Hazard Analysis

The Job Safety/Hazard Analysis training will cover a systematic procedure that breaks each job or task into key training sequences, identifies safety elements of each job or task step and coaches the employee on how to avoid potential safety hazards. The benefit is to ensure consistent and safe work methods by:

• Reducing injuries by helping employees know how to best perform a task without the likelihood of injury.
• Providing a form of training documentation regarding the employee’s knowledge of the job safety requirements.
• Complying with many OSHA requirements.
