This year, nearly 400,000 new workers entered the construction industry. While this is an increase from the previous year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there are over 700,000 job openings annually that need filled. With the influx of new employees and need for even more, a proper training program is paramount to make sure employees are safe and competent with their work. Below we will explore some ways to improve your training program and how you can properly implement these changes.
Assess Training Changes As safety and technology continue to advance, new changes should be reviewed and assessed regularly to ensure your training meets the needs of the work at hand. Some changes that can affect your training needs include:
Update Training Plan Once your training updates have been identified, your supervisors need to work on identifying ‘what’ needs changed and ‘how’ to implement these changes in your organization. Some of these examples can include:
Implement Training Changes After your training plan is updated, the implementation process should include tracking training procedures, evaluating employees on their knowledge retention, and continuously monitoring the quality of training and updating as needed. If this training is something that is needed on an annual basis, make sure that your employees and their training are recorded and tracked to make sure they continue to receive their training on a regular basis. This type of training management is something that can easily be handled by STAC and our unique QR codes. When updating your training plan, employers need to make sure that all parts of the organization are included in the assessment, update, and implementation process. When everyone is included, the most effective solution can be implemented. To keep the conversation going, download the Health & Safety Plan Toolbox Talk (TBT) or comment below.
