HAZARD ASSESSMENT TRAINING!

Hazard Assessment Training
Building a Safer Industry Today, One Member at a Time!


Many of the challenges that lead to delays and disagreements that cost projects money is hazard recognition. Where are the risks in construction, and why has what we’ve done for years now a safety problem?

Attendees will learn how to look at any situation and recognize safe and unsafe situations whether or not a Cal/OSHA regulation is being violated. Cal/OSHA is designed to prevent fatalities and serious injuries, but hazard recognition is what not only controls regulatory violations, it also controls injury exposure and costs that frequently exceed any fine.

Attendees will take away the following:
• Recognize and identify hazards pertinent to their company's situations
• How to address/resolve hazards and exposures
• Actions to take to prevent injury
• Understanding that safe way is cost-effectiveness of the job through pre-planning

This class will cover topics that include hazards for the following, but are not limited to: scaffolding, ladders, boom lift scissor lift, electrical, plumbing, traffic collision potential, fire hazards, working alone, fall exposures, and many other items pertain and common to construction hazards and exposures. This class is a must for anyone who is responsible for, manages or coordinates safety for their company.

Don't get left out! While other resources are going to ineffective, cheap, non-interactive training online, the Central California Builders Exchange offers our members a cost effective, interactive safety credentialing program that works for your business, builds empowerment and gets results.
