The class will be taught by instructors from Mercy EMS who have been certified by the American Heart Association and who conduct this training on a daily basis. The instructor to student ratio will be 1-6, so students will receive close supervision that will ensure the training is understood and can be performed effectively by the student.

Don’t miss two exceptional training opportunities at this year’s Construction Industry Convention!

Train-The-Trainer For Forklifts is a training that many contractors have been asking for. OSHA requires that before an employer can allow an employee to operate a forklift, that would-be operator must complete specific training. OSHA also requires that an evaluation of an operator’s performance occur once every three years. Attendees at this session will learn to train and evaluate their employees for forklift operation that meets the OSHA requirements. This class is being held on Wednesday, February 22nd from 7:00 am – 11:00 am.

Similar to forklifts, those who operate boom and or scissors lifts must be trained in proper operating procedures. When a contractor has someone on staff who can conduct this training it will quickly be done as opposed to waiting until a third party can come and do it.  This Train-The-Trainer for Scissors and Boom Lifts class is being offered Wednesday, February 22nd from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm. This is the perfect class for foremen, superintendents, field operation managers or safety directors.

ATTENTION: MBI Safety Personnel, Risk Management and Loss Control Staff:  Master Builders of Iowa is pleased to announce learning opportunities specifically designed for the safety, risk management and loss control workforce.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 – Iowa Construction Safety Conference

ONE PRICE... FOUR SESSIONS... YOU CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU!

This program is designed so that employers can afford to send their workforce to high quality programs designed to meet many OSHA required training objectives. The registration fee is $95 for the 1st person and $60 for each additional person... or, if your company is taking advantage of the “MBI Member” Advantage – Performance Track (see flyer) and 3 employees are attending through the Performance Track Discount Package – seminars for the safety conference pricing are reduced to $50 per person.

MBI will be holding a OSHA 30 Hour Construction Course on January 16-19, 2012 in Des Moines, Iowa. This course is meant for anyone who has overall safety responsibility for their company or at a jobsite and wants in-depth instruction on the OSHA Construction Rules as well as the opportunity to learn how cohorts handle challenging situations.  There will also be discussions on how to change employee behavior and maximize your safety budget.

Who Should Attend?  Anyone with jobsite safety responsibility.  Many owners, construction managers, and general contractors are requiring that safety representatives be available on the jobsite having, at a minimum, the OSHA 30-Hour Course.

The safety of workers on a construction site must be as important as quality and efficiency. It must be managed with foresight and rigor just as they are. It cannot be an afterthought. Planning for safety should start when planning begins for everything else. The thought process should be on how to accomplish the task in a safe and efficient manner while providing the quality the owner expects.
