Tailgate Training for California Construction Workers

  

California law requires regular health and safety training on construction sites. How effective is your “tailgate” training program? This LOHP guidebook can help construction foremen and other trainers conduct effective safety training sessions on the job. It has detailed lesson plans on 14 topics. Lessons are organized in an easy question-and-answer format that encourages worker participation. Also included are 14 matching checklists on Cal/OSHA regulations, tips for conducting effective tailgate meetings, a glossary of technical terms, case studies, and factsheets. Updated in 2001, it is based on LOHP’s Tailgate Meetings That Work! (1994), originally developed in collaboration with Associated General Contractors and the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California.
