Greenhand / New Worker Training

It ain’t easy being green.  If you don’t believe us, just ask Kermit the frog.  As proof, statistics for green workers say 60% of construction workplace injuries occur within a new workers first year of employment.  That translates very high levels of effort, coupled with a lack of questions (new guys never want to look stupid…right?), new workers inevitably take chances they shouldn’t.  Another study revealed that only 1 in 5 new workers gets adequate training…

It’s right to expect better.  New workers are the future of our industries.  Training no longer has to be an inquisition.  Check out our Online New Worker Training (also called Green hand Training).  We have assembled some training on the fundamentals of New Worker Training.  A 5 level curriculum of 20 compulsory courses, and a pool of elective courses to help meet the needs of new workers.  We’ve touched on topics that are specific to new worker training, and some that are fundamental to the workforce in general.

Keep in mind, that for courses based on “Equipment Operation” (ie: Forklift), “Life Safety”(ie: Body Harness) or “Life Preservation” (ie: Standard First Aid) Worker competency must be proven before a person can be considered fully trained.  Competency evaluations are attached to each course requiring one in our database. Just be sure you have a competent person evaluating.  For more information on competency, you can give us a call or read up on it, as described by the COAA here…
