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!

Everyone says they want to grow — but few are willing to let go. The inbox, the content, the sales follow-ups, the backend bugs — they hang onto it all, thinking it’s the only way to keep control. I get it. I used to do the same. But over the last 9+ years, I’ve built and scaled businesses by doing the opposite: building a remote team I trust, and getting out of their way. Not just “virtual assistants” — real professionals. People who run content, sales outreach, client communication, systems, software, and everything in between. They don’t just lighten the load. They raise the bar. This approach has been a game changer — not just for saving time, but for building momentum that actually lasts. It’s what I’ve been doing successfully for nearly a decade. If you’re wondering where to find this kind of talent, how to train them, or how to make it actually work long-term — drop your questions. Lets talk!
