Habitat for Humanity safety training is a mandatory, comprehensive program for staff and volunteers designed to ensure a secure, injury-free construction site or ReStore environment. It includes modules on fall protection, tool safety, proper lifting techniques, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Key Safety Training Components

• Jobsite Safety: Mandatory training covers identifying hazards, using PPE (hard hats, safety glasses), and properly using power tools.
• Fall Protection: OSHA-compliant training is required for work over 6 feet, including scaffolding use.
• ReStore Safety: Focuses on loss control, handling merchandise, and safe lifting techniques (bending knees, asking for help).
• Emergency & Hazards: Covers awareness of surroundings, communicating with others on site, and managing environmental risks.
• Safeguarding: Training on managing power dynamics and preventing exploitation or abuse.
