Free Construction Safety Seminars at Various Locations This Summer

A seminar for home builders and trade contractors focusing on the development and effective implementation of a company safety and health program is being held at a dozen home builders associations around the country from July through September. The seminar is free, but some associations may charge a nominal fee for any food or beverages that are provided.

The four-hour seminar, “Develop and Implement a Home Builder Safety and Health Management Program,” has been developed by the NAHB Research Center and NAHB through a training grant funded by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Training materials focus on the importance of a safety and health program and are designed to help participants write a clear and easy-to-understand program and successfully put it into operation.
