e d u cat i on Whether you're looking to expand your business, save money or learn about the latest codes and regulations, the HBAA offers a variety of education around the state designed to meet your needs. The Alabama Home Builders Self Insurers Fund's Loss Control Department has developed a course to serve the safety education needs of HBAA members. The Safety 6 course is based on OSHA's 10-hour construction safety course but condensed into one day. The Safety 6 course covers common residential and light commercial jobsite hazards and offers practical injury prevention measures, including information about products that can make jobsites safer and more productive. The class also provides instruction on how to respond to an OSHA inspection, as well as guidelines and materials for developing an effective safety and health program. OSHA is pursuing more citations under the multi-employer rule, which can hold the builder accountable for the safety violations of subcontractors under certain circumstances. Builders can learn how to protect themselves from OSHA citations and penalties by attending this course. Attendees will receive a manual on the course topics, a CD with numerous safety resources and a course completion wallet card. The cost is $35 per person and covers course materials, snacks and lunch.
