Construction software company MindForge created a contactless orientation platform for Jobsite workers with the idea to facilitate safe onboarding. The lack of proper training for job site workers in construction is a major challenge asking for a solution, while training for construction workers becomes even more important in the prevention of the COVID-19. Contactless feature in the latest orientation platform makes it easier for contractors to facilitate efficient training for job site workers while reducing risks.

Safety Materials and Instruction Videos for Construction Employees Made Easy
Proper training and orientation of job site workers in the industry improve the overall safety on construction sites while reducing risks. The devastating stats show that the majority of contractors provide only one hour of safety and protocol training for job site workers. At the same time, the industry of construction has the highest rate of injuries on the job site, partially due to the lack of proper training for workers. With software such as the orientation platform made by MindForge, training including safety materials and instruction videos can be made easy.
Social Distancing During Orientation
Superintendents can use the MindForge orientation platform to grant access to training, safety materials, and instruction videos for specific construction sites. That way, new employees could be properly trained while maintaining social distancing as an important part of safety protocols and the latest guidelines for construction workers. MindForge also enabled tracking of progress where contractors, superintendents, and other teams can track the progress of new employees.
Improved Training for New Employees with MindForge
The main idea behind the project was to create solutions tailored to contractors’ needs. While consulting contractors during the development of the orientation platform, MindForge team found out that the majority of interviewed contractors have issues with efficiently communicating with employees. The orientation platform enables quizzes and questionnaires for employees to check up on their progress, while contractors can track training as well and see if new employees watched all videos in entirety.
