WHY C3 In the fall of 2009, a group of owners, general contractors and specialty contractors gathered to discuss the current state of the commercial construction workforce in the Greater Houston Area. The conclusion was that future demand for the commercial construction industry will far outpace the availability of qualified craft workers.

INDUSTRIAL FACTS The average craft worker is 47 The average entry age into the industry is 29 Craft training is at an all-time low Construction productivity is at an all-time low 20% of the workforce is expected to retire within 3 years Future building growth is projected to exceed anything seen in previous generations Reference: 1960.59(a) INDUSTRY FACTS The average craft worker is 47 The average entry age into the industry is 29 Craft training is at an all-time low Construction productivity is at an all-time low 20% of the workforce is expected to retire within 3 years Future building growth is projected to exceed anything seen in previous generations The Bottom Line While the construction workforce is aging and less productive due to lack of training, the demand on our industry increase and become more technical every year. We must do more to recruit, train and retain craft workers to meet the demands of our industry.

A) Specific Job Site Safety Rules (this slide optional) [By General Contractor]

B) Risk & Hazard Recognition (this slide optional) [By General Contractor]

JSA/JHA Hazard Recognition (this slide optional) One of the most effective ways to identify job hazards is to perform a Job Safety Analysis (JSA), or Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), for each job before beginning work. One of the most effective ways to identify job hazards is to perform a Job Safety Analysis (JSA), or Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), for each job before beginning work.

JSA/JHA HAZARD RECOGNITION (this slide optional) There are four main elements to consider when conducting a JSA: 1) the worker, 2) the task, 3) the tools and 4) work environment. The JSA focuses on the relationships between these four elements by breaking the job procedures down into steps or tasks and identifying the hazards associated with each step of the job. Once the hazards have been identified, a list is developed stating what controls should be in place and the specific procedures to follow to prevent an accident.

JSA/JHA HAZARD RECOGNITION (this slide optional) There are many benefits associated with JSAs. JSAs improve job planning, help employees to recognize potential hazards, involve all employees in determining the necessary safety precautions, and improve communication. Eliminating and preventing hazards in the workplace will result in fewer injuries and illnesses, safer, more effective work controls, reduced worker’s compensation costs, and increased worker productivity.

Training Future: Assessments for experienced workers – Competent, Qualified, Skilled Required training for less experienced and entry level workers

TRAINED. SAFE. SUSTAINABLE. Tomorrow’s Workforce TRAINED. SAFE. SUSTAINABLE. Studies show that investing in training significantly enhances performance and project execution. A review by the Houston Business Roundtable found: productivity was up by as much as 24% Turnover was down by as much as 43% Job site absenteeism was down by as much as 59% OSHA recordable injuries were reduced by as much as 90% First aid cases were reduced by as much as 90% Let’s Have a Safe, Productive Project!

C3 CHECK LIST I am being paid by the hour (no piece work and no independent contractors). I receive overtime pay for all work over 40 hours in a week. If I am a craft worker, I have received OSHA 10-Hour training. If I am a supervisor, I have received OSHA 30-Hour training. I have attended the C3 Orientation for this Project.
