Running a New Crew Member's First Day

A guide for foremen and crew leaders on how to run day one: what to cover, in what order, what to watch for during the first week, and how to record it.

You will be able to

  • Run a first day that covers the orientation lesson, PPE, site walk, and who-to-tell.
  • Set up a first-week plan with a buddy, shorter time in the heat, and task-specific training gates.
  • Record the orientation and keep the record.

The full lesson is included with NPMCA membership. Sign in with your member account to open it.
