Participants thoroughly analyze construction regulatory mandates, the Focus Four hazards, and mandatory health and safety compliance protocols across commercial and industrial job sites. The program integrates high-impact adult learning theory, curriculum customization, and official Outreach Training Program administrative policies to equip future instructors for the 10- and 30-hour construction programs. Every lesson includes tutor notes, a video, a hands-on lab, exercises and a 12-question quiz you must pass at 80%, followed by a pooled final exam and free and paid practice tests.
