STP Unit 6 – Risk Management and Problem Solving, Rochester

Supervisory skill—or the lack of it—directly affects every company’s bottom line. Each day decisions made by every foreman and superintendent are crucial to the success or failure of every construction project. You make your money in the field. Or you lose it.

The Supervisory Training Program (STP) developed by AGC, is designed specifically to meet the needs of the construction industry. Developed, updated, and field-tested by and for contractors, the Program consists of 6 courses that focus on the knowledge and skills that every supervisor must have to be an effective manager of people, time, equipment and materials.
This course includes numerous scenario-based case studies. Participants will use the information in each unit to determine a viable solution for each case study, and present process, data, and “best case” resolution.

This course includes the following sessions:

– What is Risk: introduces identifying sources of problems; identifying barriers to problems; preventing problems instead of solving problems.
– Human Performance Risk: describes the attributes required for quality safety leadership, communication methods, rules and expectations, and understanding the human factor to safety.
– Reactive Problem Solving: identifies the steps in a problem solving model and describes the steps included in the problem solving model.
– Proactive Problem Solving: focuses on recognizing the sources of risk related problems. Anticipating the problems that create the greatest risk and identifying the techniques for eliminating, minimizing or managing associated risks.
– Labor Costs and Subcontractor Risk: describes the relationship between proactive problem solving and cost control. Developing a Cause and Effect Diagram to help identify causes of problems; applying the problem solving and decision making process to subcontractor work.
– Safety, Risk, Emergencies, and Crisis Management: describes loss control, preventing workplace violence, jobsite security, public relations, terrorism, and understanding how to react to a crisis or emergency.
– Risk Management: identifies required insurance protection, worker’s compensation, direct and indirect costs, fleet safety programs, and environmental issues.
– Risk Specific Solutions: details the responsibilities of a site supervisor, site specific safety planning, and common hazard awareness.

Class is every Wednesday evening from 5:30-7:30pm from February 15- April 5, 2017.
