How to use it
Your first 15 minutes
Work step 1 below. It is the fastest way to see what you have and how the pieces fit together.
Do the paperwork first. Use the compliance tracker in the workbook and the beforeday-one section of the checklist so nothing is missed before the new hire arrives.
Run the first day. Work the First Day Jobsite Checklist top to bottom with the new hire and the supervisor.
Issue PPE. Use the PPE Issue Log to issue and record protective equipment, and confirm a fit test before any respirator goes out.
Sign the agreements before keys and tools. Have the Company Vehicle Agreement and the Tool Issue and Return Agreement signed before the vehicle or the tools leave the shop.
Run the ramp. Use the thirty, sixty, and ninety day plan in the workbook to move the new hire from ride-along to supervised work to independent work, and to lead eligible.
Before you buy
Clear answers to the practical questions.
The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.
What exactly do I receive?
7 PDF guides, 4 Word documents, 1 Excel workbook, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.
Are these the real screenshots?
Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.
Can I use the files in my business?
The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.
What if I need help applying it?

Construction and Trades HR System
The six field toolkits are built to work together, and two tools run them as one program. A Contractor HR Audit Checklist tells you where to start. A Seasonal Staffing Planner sizes the crews against the work ahead.
