CONSTRUCTION SAFETY TRAINING SERIES The Construction Safety Training Series teaches employees to spot hazardous situations and reviews what they can do to work safely and accident-free. The content covered in each course has been customized specifically for the construction industry. The visuals explain safe work practices by illustrating employees performing their jobs in authentic construction contexts and shot on actual construction sites. The programs are broken down into short segments that are perfect for toolbox talks or tailgate meetings. The courses are divided into a number of logical sections, each with its own quiz, so information is easily understood. The interactive formats allow trainers to collect employee performance information which can be organized through a powerful relational database and provides recordkeeping and tracking report capabilities. The DVD programs contain a Presenter’s Guide, Employee Quizzes, Scheduling and Attendance Forms, and Training Certificates. Programs are available in English and Spanish.
