Many time as you move from job to job you have to do these trainings multiple times. This creates lots of redundant trainings but also good reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many trainings are high beneficial and necessary to mitigate risk on the job site. A classic that I find beneficial is the training on what the different colored cations tapes mean. Importantly, red means you need a special certification to be in that area so for me that means absolutely not go. An example of this is high voltage electrical work, to be safe in that situations you need lots of knowledge but also special gear that you would not normally have on. If this training did not exist there would be a much higher risk or electrocution or even death on a job site. Some of the reasons this is beneficial also lie in the method it is given. The safety manager on the job site will give this training in person on the site to every new worker, this manager also gives daily reminders of where red tape will be set up. See the tape below for an example!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/9257\/files\/2026\/02\/download.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/9257\/files\/2026\/02\/download.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/9257\/files\/2026\/02\/download-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p> There is one specific type of training I find not very beneficial in the construction world, and let me explain why. Most construction sites have a online training everyone on site most complete before stepping foot on the site. This covers liability, basic safety, and HR topics.  Well yes, it is given so legal reason and to make sure the employees understands the risk and liability. I see online trainings like this to be something many people, including myself, zone out on and just skip through to get it done. I know the information is important but a training like that, given before you even start work is the last thing most people want to do. Overall I see most online trainings as not beneficial, I understand it&#8217;s cheaper but there are better ways to give this information. In todays world online trainings do not teach employees all the information that higher ups might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Outline &#8211; Training and Development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chen, Jackie. \u201cBarricade Tape Meaning: 23 Types and OSHA Color Codes.\u201d <em>Jackwinsafety.Com<\/em>, 3 Dec. 2025, jackwinsafety.com\/barricade-tape-meaning\/.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image from https:\/\/www.chhanson.com\/barricade-tape-danger-1000-x3-x1-5mil-red.html<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beneficial and Not Beneficial Work Trainings, In My Experience In my career, I have spent most on my in construction, this has lead to lots and lots of different types of trainings as construction sites come with high risk situations.
