Safety Training On the Spot

When you absolutely need to conduct safety training with limited time disruption to your company, TCIA’s Tailgate Safety Program is the training program for you.

Tailgate training is a brief, informal and informative lesson given at a job site. It generally involves some simple props and may be geared to the job on tap for the day.

Although it requires only a small amount of time, tailgate training has proven to be highly effective. Tree care safety experts endorse the form of on-the-job training offered in TCIA's Tailgate Safety Program.

The TCIA Tailgate Safety Program facilitates and enhances your training effort. Additionally, because OSHA requires employers to document that they provide safety training, the TCIA Tailgate Program provides for training documentation.

The current edition of the TCIA Tailgate Safety manual features 80 sessions covering workplace scenarios likely to cause harm. Each session includes trainer instructions, reproduceable handouts and quick comprehension tests. Use the test results for OSHA safety training documentation.
