Produced in partnership with CPWR, The Center for Construction Research and Training, the report found that despite the industry’s racist, sexist reputation, contractors are emphasizing tolerance and acceptance on jobsites via anti-harassment training.
The majority of companies that offer this training — 60% — do so once a year. But one-fifth only do so “when needed.”
The on-demand approach could be problematic, however, since “the need for it may not always be evident to those who make the training decisions,” the report said. “Repetition also reinforces the messaging, and an investment in regular training can also indicate to employees that company leadership takes this issue seriously.”
