Introduction

Introduction National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) For many of our programs, we utilize the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) curriculum. NCCER sets the standard for developing craft professionals.

NCCER is a not-for-profit education foundation created in 1996. It was developed with the support of more than 125 construction CEOs and various association and academic leaders who united to revolutionize workforce development for the construction industry. NCCER’s workforce development process of accreditation, instructor certification, standardized curriculum, registry, assessment and certification, is a key component in developing a skilled workforce of craft professionals.

Supervisor Endorsement Participation in a development program is a commitment. Enrollment is contingent upon a variety of considerations such as, the team member’s past performance, the session’s relevance to their role, willingness to travel, staffing needs, scheduled classes, class size requirements, etc. Team members must receive approval from their supervisor to attend an educational program. When approving a team member’s development program, supervisors are agreeing to support them in attending the class and committing to ensure exposure to work assignments related to their newly acquired skills.

New Hire Orientation Upon hire, new team members attend a new hire orientation. During this session they learn about the company’s history, culture, employeeownership, workplace expectations, human resources related topics and our commitment to health and safety. It is our goal to continue to be a health and safety leader in the construction industry. New hires will learn the company’s culture and policies that help us accomplish this goal.

On-the-Job Learning (OJL) Throughout this catalog, you will notice that we continually reference OJL, which stands for on-the-job learning. This style of development supplements a team member’s classroom learning by giving them an opportunity to apply their skills on the job, alongside journey-level tradespeople who can coach and guide them.

As OJL pertains to the apprenticeship programs, Cianbro requires participants to obtain varying amounts of OJL hours in order to progress in learning levels, complete the program, and receive craft certification. Logging OJL hours is the responsibility of the apprentice.

OJL hours are tracked by the apprentice through the Work Hands app so that the apprentice, instructor and supervisor all have visibility into their progress.

Health, Safety & Sustainability Development

The concept of connecting the heart and mind is fundamental to the company’s journey beyond zero, an injury-free workplace.

Environmental, health, and safety are core values for the company with dedicated resources to ensure continuous education on the importance of recognizing at-risk behaviors/conditions and speaking up to correct these hazards. Our goal is to send team members home from work at the end of the day in better condition than when they arrived. This means educating the workforce in environemental, health, wellness, and safety; asking these best practices be applied at home as well. It is critical to the company’s success for all team members to embrace this culture and actively care for one another’s safety and well-being every day.

Beyond Zero Session 5 Hours

The concept of connecting the heart and mind is fundamental to the company’s journey beyond zero to create an injury-free workplace.

This half-day session is focused on behavioral leadership, culture, and caring. Human behavior directly affects safety. The company succeeds when every team member leads with an emotional commitment to safety. In this session, the company asks every person to commit personally to live well and work safe, to watch out for one another, to speak up when recognizing risk, and to thank those who speak up for your health and safety.

Behavioral Based Safety Process The behavioral based safety process encourages and empowers team members to actively engage and commend the safe behaviors of others, while also providing the neutral platform to coach or correct unsafe behaviors. This team member to team member engagement is critical in perpetuating our journey to an injury-free workplace.

Behavioral based observation data is recorded electronically and provides leading indicator incites that enable the team to consistently refine their path towards continuous improvement. The data can also be used to generate formal team member recognitions or good catches. Additionally, the data will identify, at a high level, the behaviors and results the industry and company need to focus on.

Every observation is an opportunity for the company to improve on the safety and well-being of our team.

This program is delivered to team members during new hire orientation and individually at jobsites, upon request.

Rigger The company uses riggers and signal persons certified by National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). The task of rigging is an integral part of our everyday work. A wide range of skills are required depending upon the complexity of the lift, hence the development of a rigging program with strict qualifier guidelines.

The curriculum is taught through a series of development levels in conjunction with on-the-job learning (OJL). Team members accumulate in-house rigging qualifications and third-party certifications through years of on the job learning. Candidates must be mindful of safety and understand the responsibilities associated with being a rigger.

Successful rigging involves mathematical knowledge, precision, and attention to detail. The classroom portion of the Basic Rigging course is open to all team members in the field. It is important for team members to understand rigging even when not actively using the knowledge. Beyond classroom basics, team members wishing to pursue further rigger credentials are required to obtain supervisor endorsements.
