Poll: Safety Training
Hey everyone! I've been in construction as an employee for 15 years, been doing small home repairs and renovations as side jobs for about a decade. I'm also an authorized OSHA construction industry outreach trainer, and teach NYCDOB Site Safety Training courses through a local partnership and I'm currently developing a new approach to safety training specifically geared towards the Jobber-type market.
My question to all the Jobbers out here is, aside from actual job skills training, do you participate in safety training?
- Yes, I am (and any employees are) Safety trained
- I took an OSHA or similar class a long time ago
- I'd love to but it's too expensive and time-consuming
- Safety Training, what's that?
For those who don't, what's the main reasoning behind skipping out on safety training?
- I'm interested but it's too expensive and time-consuming
- I've been doing this forever and I'm pretty safe anyway
- I don't have enough employees to "have to" do it, so I don't
For those that do have safety training, how do you feel about it and why?
- very important!
- only did it to lower my insurance cost
- only did it because customers ask about it/like to know I have it
- useless
I'd love to hear what the Jobber community has to say about it!
Sincerely,
Melissa
