Training
Developing new skills takes training. Shaping positive jobsite behaviour – your own and the behaviour of others – is no exception. The Builders Code training elements are offered according to roles and responsibilities on the job site:
Owners & Executives
Culture Training for Construction Leaders
Shaping positive worksite behaviour – your own and the behaviour of others – is one of the most important and powerful responsibilities of leadership. An inclusive company culture translates to better productivity and safety outcomes, and can help attract and retain the best workers.
Employers often underestimate the financial impacts of hazing, harassment, and bullying on the worksite. These negative behaviours cause stress and distraction in the crew that can lead to turnover, lost time to accidents, injury related health care costs, legal actions, rehiring costs, and unproductivity.
This one-day session will focus on the role and responsibility of corporate leaders and HR managers. Companies whose management completes the training can use their Builders Code training certification to promote their company and culture to potential employees, as well as clients.
Site Managers
Worksite Culture Training for Site Managers
As the construction personnel that work most closely with tradespeople on B.C. worksites, site supervisors, forepersons and union business managers have a vital role to play in creating and maintaining a positive worksite culture and addressing any issues that may arise.
Site supervisors, forepersons and union business managers often act as role models for many employees. They serve as the examples of the values, attitudes, and behaviors expected and encouraged among a group of people.
This is a one-day workshop where participants explore issues such as the nature and impact of unacceptable worksite conduct; how to enable and encourage an acceptable worksite culture; the tools that can be used to build that culture; and the benefits of doing so.

Training is structured around these themes:
