Construction

Every crew oriented. Every toolbox talk on the record.

About 1 in 5 US workplace deaths happen in construction, and falls remain the leading cause. With rotating subcontractors across multiple jobsites, consistent orientations, toolbox talks, and Focus Four training can't depend on paper sign-in sheets.

Common challenges

Training challenges in construction

These problems are common across the sector - and they're costing you more than you think.

Subcontractors show up without orientation

Rotating crews mean constant re-orientation. Paper sign-in sheets get lost, and superintendents can't verify who's been through the site orientation — or who's carrying an OSHA 10 card.

Toolbox talks happen but aren't documented

Foremen run toolbox talks every week, but there's no attendance record. If OSHA investigates an incident, there's no evidence the training ever took place.

Focus Four procedures vary between jobsites

Fall protection, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution hazards should be handled the same way on every site. Instead, each superintendent improvises their own version.

Certification and paperwork tracking is manual

OSHA 10/30 cards, equipment certifications, and Form I-9s are tracked on spreadsheets that are always out of date. Expirations and gaps go unnoticed until an audit finds them.

How we solve it

How TrainedTeam solves this

Digital site orientations with e-signatures

New workers and subs complete the orientation on a phone or tablet before they start. E-signature captures their name, timestamp, and IP. You know exactly who's been oriented on every jobsite.

Toolbox talks with attendance records built in

Film your toolbox talk once and AI converts it into a step-by-step briefing with embedded video. Every crew member completes it with a knowledge check, and attendance is recorded automatically.

Standardized JHAs and Focus Four procedures

Create one set of procedures for fall protection, excavation, and electrical work — with job hazard analyses to match — and deploy them to every jobsite. Track who's completed what.

Certification tracking with renewal alerts

Set renewal dates on certifications and training cards. The system flags what's coming due, so gaps stop hiding in spreadsheets.

Construction training FAQs

What proof of training can we show if OSHA inspects our jobsite?

Toolbox talk attendance records, orientation e-signatures, and training completions with timestamps and quiz scores — all pulled up in seconds from a phone. TrainedTeam doesn't certify OSHA compliance, but it gives you documented evidence of what training happened, who attended, and when.

Can site orientations for subcontractors be done digitally?

Yes. Subs complete the orientation on a phone or tablet before they start work, and an e-signature captures their name, timestamp, and IP address. Superintendents can see exactly who has been oriented on each jobsite — no lost paper sign-in sheets.

Does TrainedTeam replace OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 training?

No. OSHA 10- and 30-hour cards come from authorized outreach trainers. TrainedTeam tracks who holds which cards, flags renewals where your state or general contractor requires them, and delivers the site-specific training that sits on top — orientations, toolbox talks, JHAs, and fall protection procedures.

How do we keep Focus Four procedures consistent across jobsites?

Create one set of procedures for falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution hazards, deploy them to every jobsite, and track completions. Every superintendent works from the same playbook instead of improvising their own version.

What does it cost for crews with rotating subcontractors?

TrainedTeam is free for up to 5 users, forever. Paid plans are flat-rate by team size from $33/month billed annually — no per-seat fees — so a rotating subcontractor roster doesn't multiply the bill.
