Lesson 1Hot works, electrical and lifting safety controls for small sitesThis lesson lists checks for hot jobs, temp power setups, and lifting on small sites, including permits, inspections, gear tests, and talks to stop fires, shocks, drops, and bad incidents.
Hot work permits, fire watches and fire gearTemporary power boards and cable managementGrounding, GFCIs and lockout proceduresSelecting and inspecting lifting accessoriesSafe slinging, signaling and load path controlLesson 2Waste, spill and stormwater management: segregation, containment, silt fences, temporary sumps and proper disposal recordsThis lesson details sorting, storing, and dumping build waste, spill stops and fixes, and rain controls like silt barriers and temp pits, stressing papers, law following, and guarding nearby waters.
Classifying and segregating construction wastesLabeling, storage and waste transfer recordsSpill prevention, kits and response drillsSilt fences, berms and inlet protectionTemporary sumps, pumping and discharge controlsLesson 3Exclusion zones and machine operation safety: banks, signalling, spotters, proximity alarmsThis lesson covers safe machine running, planning no-go zones, spotters and signs, close-range alerts, and clear talk rules to avoid hits, crushes, and flips on busy sites.
Defining and marking exclusion zonesBanksmen roles and standard hand signalsSpotter positioning and line-of-sight rulesUse and limits of proximity detection systemsManaging pedestrians and public near machinesLesson 4Traffic management and worker protection: high-visibility, hard barriers, vehicle exclusion routes, banksmen for heavy movementsThis lesson targets traffic handling near work zones, with temp plans, barriers, signs, bright gear, vehicle paths, spotters, and agency links to guard workers, drivers, and walkers.
Reading and applying traffic control plansHigh-visibility garments and lighting needsHard barriers, cones and taper layoutsVehicle routes, spotters and reversing controlsCoordination with road authorities and policeLesson 5Resident and business communication: notification templates, signage, regular updates and complaint handlingThis lesson shows how supervisors talk to locals and shops using notices, signs, meetings, and online updates, while noting queries, sorting complaints, and fixing noise, access, and service issues.
Preconstruction notification letters and emailsDesign and placement of public information signageMaintaining stakeholder contact registersComplaint logging, triage and response stepsTracking commitments and closing communicationLesson 6Excavation and trench safety: shoring, benching, steps, access/egress, utility locating and safe digging practicesThis lesson explains dig and trench dangers like cave-ins, falls, and hidden lines, covering supports, steps, entry/exit, spoil spots, air tests, and safe digs near utilities and builds.
