ESC Cabling provided a robust training program that included both theoretical and practical components. Safety training covered OSHA regulations, including SST 10, 8-Hour Fall Prevention (SST – 307), and 2-Hour Drug and Alcohol Awareness (SST – 302). Practical construction skills training encompassed understanding various roles in construction, including those of the developer, architect, and engineer, as well as cost estimating, blueprint reading, and the necessary training involved. The curriculum also covered measurement and materials, hand and power tool safety, building materials and fasteners, rough carpentry, and tools used in residential wiring, along with electrical quantities and Ohm’s Law. Additionally, students underwent comprehensive OSHA 30 training, which included an introduction to OSHA, Focus Four and PPE, health hazards, material handling, scaffolds, silica, excavations, stairways and ladders, confined space entry, ergonomics, fire protection and prevention, safety and health programs, powered industrial vehicles, concrete and masonry construction, and managing safety and health.
Through this meticulous and comprehensive training program, BlocPower and ESC Cabling successfully prepared students to meet the stringent safety standards and develop the practical skills needed for a career in construction. This initiative not only addresses the immediate need for skilled technicians but also contributes to building a knowledgeable and safety-conscious workforce for the future.
