Course Description:
This module requires trainees to demonstrate their ability to read and interpret common civil drawings. As a result, the majority of the instruction will take place in the classroom environment. However, field trips to active job sites will expose trainees to the same hazards as workers in that environment. Safe working habits in the vicinity of heavy equipment must be emphasized for all trainees. Also ensure that all trainees know to avoid hazardous job-site areas, such as trenches or other excavations, and wear the proper PPE for the environment.
