• Awareness Classes (2 Topics) Hazard Communications and Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP)

  16-Sept-2026 10:30 AM (note different start time, class is not a full day)

  Hazardous Materials Communications 

  This awareness course helps participants understand how to safely work around hazardous chemicals and materials. It explains how to read labels, understand Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and recognize common hazard warnings. The course also covers employee rights under Right-to-Know laws and simple steps to reduce exposure risks. In residential construction, this training is especially important when working with products like paints, solvents, adhesives, and cleaning agents that may contain hazardous substances. 

  Bloodborne Pathogens 

  This course explains what bloodborne pathogens are and how they can affect health if exposure occurs through contact with blood or bodily fluids. Participants will learn how exposures can happen, how to protect themselves, and what to do if an incident occurs. The training focuses on prevention, hygiene, and safe response actions. In residential construction, this knowledge can be important when responding to jobsite injuries or working in properties where unexpected biological hazards may be present.
