SAFETY TRAINING
Safety training is possible for every masonry professional, no matter what your budget. With the right materials and experience with the equipment and/or environment within which your employees need to be trained, this level of competence is easier to obtain than you might think.
Often, on-staff trainers lack access to resources for the development of a quality in-house training program. However, newly available training kits, such as the Arxics Hard Hat Training CDs, can alleviate this burden.
Fully customizable to a company's equipment, environment, policies and state regulations, these affordable kits include printed materials to accompany the digital instruction, so things like paper-based manuals and tests also are available to the trainer.
Although the in-house trainer is most practical for the largest companies who require massive amounts of training, smaller entities have used the method successfully. One way to offset the costs of the in-house trainer's salary and benefits is to provide his or her services to other local companies for a fee.
Safety training is possible for every masonry professional, no matter what your budget. With the right amount of negotiation, many of today's quality training options become affordable solutions for companies that value a safe work environment and a culture of continuous training.
