Ask yourself:

If your volunteers 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 your volunteers for their day volunteering for your affiliate, and to help your affiliate experience fewer losses due to volunteer accidents.

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 your business, it's essential that you take great care in providing a safe working atmosphere for all people coming to help build. When your workers are working safer and smarter, you risk for losses goes down. And when losses go down, so do insurance premiums.

About the volunteer training course:

This online safety training course gives you (and your volunteers) a leg-up on safety issues... even to those who have been on a construction site before.

  • The training is free to your affiliate and all volunteers.
  • It takes just 15 minutes to watch the course video and take a short 10-question quiz.
  • When the quiz is passed, your affiliate will receive a certificate of completion for the course-taker.

What you need to do:

  1. Give the volunteer training website address (www.hfhvolunteerinsurance.com) to all volunteers prior to their volunteer day. Ask them to take the 15 minute training course!
  2. Post the volunteer training website address on your affiliate's website (www.hfhvolunteerinsurance.com), with a call out for all volunteers to take the training.
  3. Take the training course yourself, so you know what your volunteers will be learning.
