CONSTRUCTION JOB This interactive, instructor-led training is designed for architects, designers, and office personnel who occasionally visit active construction jobsites but have little or no prior field experience. The program equips participants with the essential safety knowledge and practical skills needed to navigate a jobsite confidently, recognize hazards, and follow site safety protocols. Through a combination of visual examples, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations, participants will learn how to select and use required personal protective equipment (PPE), understand site signage and hazard communication, move safely through active work areas, and identify situations that require additional precautions – such as fall hazards, mobile equipment operations, and restricted access zones. Special emphasis is placed on situational awareness, professional conduct around trade crews, and knowing when to stop and ask for guidance. Other key topics to be covered include hazard recognition, site procedures, emergency response, and special site conditions such as confined spaces, hot work, and steel erection. Participants will leave the course with a better understanding of how to maintain personal and site safety as they visit each construction site in the future. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • • • • •
Recognize common construction site hazards and safety requirements. Properly select, inspect, and use required PPE. Interpret site signage and follow safe movement practices in active work zones.
