    Description
    This course is designed to increase the pile driver students’ awareness of construction hazard communication systems, proper tool/equipment operation, and will emphasize the importance of the individual responsibility for workplace safety and health. The students will discern that the construction environment has a higher potential for injuries and accidents than most workplaces and therefore requires the ability to assess danger, employ prevention measures, and take appropriate action in emergencies. This training will expose students to various health emergency scenarios, and provide students with ample opportunities to practice the appropriate CPR and first aid response. Because many injuries are the result of improper tool and equipment use, students will be trained on how to correctly select, inspect, use, and operate fall protection systems, tools, and powered lift truck equipment.
