Construction sites are ever-changing, bustling places. If the project is up to speed, you can find workmen from several different trades working in the same general vicinity, within close proximity of others. The type of project determines the sequences and overlaps of the various trade cycles. To minimize the risk of accidents, it is necessary to complete an evaluation of possible site hazards before workmen are dispatched to work on the project.

On-going assessments must be completed to determine what special tools, equipment, and personal protective equipment will be needed to accomplish the work. With a clear understanding as to what types of operations are going on around the jobsite and recognizing how some types of work will affect others, arrangements and adjustments can be made allowing the safe completion of all tasks.

Lean Construction challenges all project stakeholders to develop and apply better ways to manage the overall construction process. Unit 5: Lean Supply Chain and Assembly is a full-day course that introduces the lean strategies and tools used to deliver materials, equipment and prefabricated assemblies to the jobsite in a manner that facilitates flow.

This course covers the safety and health hazards associated with permit-required confined space entry.

The TEXO Safety Committee will present “Electrical Safety in the Construction Industry”, to help identify and illustrate best-work practices that help mitigate electrical hazards from our projects. Construction projects pose many types of hazards for everyone associated with the construction process. Electricity is a key component of construction that poses some of the greatest hazards for all workers during the course of construction. With the complexity of electrical systems on the rise and new technology in safe practices being developed, management of these hazards are imperative to the protection of our workforce.

This is an instructor-led course that teaches students critical skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency until emergency medical services arrives. Skills covered in this course include first aid for sudden illnesses, injuries and protection from blood-borne pathogens; choking relief and sudden cardiac arrest for adults.  This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card in CPR and AED use to meet job, regulatory, or other requirements.

This course covers the various types of common machinery, machine safe guards, and related OSHA regulations and procedures. Guidance is provided on the hazards associated with various types of machinery and the determination of proper machine safe guards. Course topics include machinery processes, mechanical motions, points of operation, control of hazardous energy sources (lockout/tagout), guarding of portable powered tools, and common OSHA machine guarding violations. Program highlights include the ability to recognize hazards and provide options for control and hazard abatement through machines safeguarding inspection workshops.
