Safety Training
The Texas State Building & Construction Trades Council
and its affiliated members support and provide training to
their members in order to provide the best and safest
trained workforce.
Safety training helps the worker identify possible hazards
and prevent on-the-job accidents. By providing the best
safety training, Contractors and Unions strive to insure
that workers are able to earn a living and return home each
day uninjured.
Many of the Building Trades Local Unions have adopted and
incorporated the OSHA 10 hour Safety Training Course or the
Building and Construction Trades Departments “Smart Mark
Safety Training” modeled after the OSHA 10 hour training
into their Collective Bargaining Agreements and
Apprenticeship Training Programs. A workforce that has been
provided the proper safety training focuses on the
prevention of accidents. Safety training also helps the
contractors keep their Experience Modification Rates (EMR)
low, thus enabling them to competitively bid on projects
that would otherwise keep them off a bid list, plus reducing
their workers compensation premiums.
