Weekly Safety Training Topics                                       

Have you ever struggled coming up with weekly safety and health training topics for toolbox talks?  It can be very time consuming and costly creating new and effective material for weekly safety and health training.   It is a well-known fact that failing to properly train employees in safety and health issues can have a substantial impact
on a company’s bottom line.  As the insurance market continues to harden, regulatory requirements become stricter, and the number of significant lawsuits in our industry

increase, we must implement effective methods to control these types of expenditures.  Conducting weekly documented safety and health training, is one of many proven effective methods of controlling these costly expenditures.

To assist members with their weekly safety and health training efforts, The Builders’ Association Safety and Health Services provides members access to weekly safety and health training topics, located in the “Members Area” of The Builders’ Association website.  These weekly safety and health training topics are composed in house by experienced safety and health professionals, updated monthly, and are provided to members free of charge.  All you need to have is a password to access the member’s area.  (Please call 816/531-4741 to obtain your password.)  Then you will have access to a comprehensive database of safety and health training topics. This means if you have personnel working on jobsites, or at facilities anywhere in the world, they can enter a password and instantly retrieve and print quality safety and health training topics.
