Safety Trained Volunteers make Safe Volunteers!

Please participate in this online training course and help reduce Habitat's insurance premiums!!

Ask yourself:
As a volunteer, if you came to the jobsite with a better idea of what to expect, would that help you have a more productive day?

Our online Volunteer safety-training course is designed to do just that - prepare you for your day of volunteering, and to help Habitat experience fewer losses due to volunteer accidents (not that we have many!!!)

Falls are the number one type of accidents suffered on Habitat job sites. This online course illustrates how falls occur and how to avoid them!

Because volunteers are the livelihood of our organization, it's essential that we take great care in providing a safe working atmosphere for all people coming to help build.

About the volunteer training course:
This online safety training course gives you, our volunteers, a leg-up on safety issues... even to those who have been on a construction site many times before.

• The training takes just 15 minutes. Watch the course video and take a short 10-question quiz.

• When the quiz is passed, Habitat Greater SF will receive a certificate of completion for the course-taker.
