Unit 6 Managing Risks: Safeguarding Project Success
Construction projects come with inherent risks, but effective risk management can significantly enhance project outcomes.

The highly collaborative virtual program provides instruction via Zoom and is best suited for anyone on a construction jobsite in a supervisory role – from the new supervisor or foreman to the experienced superintendent who is looking to become a more effective manager of people, time, equipment and materials.
