THE BIA’S EVENTS ARE ENLIGHTENING, PRODUCTIVE, EDUCATIONAL, AND FUN.
The BIA’s calendar of events – project tours, member breakfasts and happy hours, the annual Builders Conference, Meet the Builders, educational sessions and others – are great opportunities to get involved in building both the city and your business by networking, sharing ideas, making new business connections, and keeping up with industry colleagues.
All BIA Builder and Associate Members are encouraged to attend and try the OSHA 10 Hazard ID, High Steel and Forklift virtual reality training modules. Watch your fellow members on a big screen as they dangle from a 8” piece of steel 30 stories above the street, drive a forklift around the Philadelphia produce market and identify OSHA hazards at a construction site, virtually, of course!
TSG and USA teach and certify everything from OSHA 10 & 30 to rigging, crane lift director, fork lift CDL, concrete safety, fire safety, lead, asbestos, and mold removal, as well as non-construction related instruction such as first aide, CPR, disaster prep and active shooter scenarios. Construction management supervisors, architects and engineers can receive continuing education credits they need to remain certified. Real estate developers and agents can see the latest in BIM scanning, walking though the site and finished product before construction is completed.
