An annual training map for construction and design HR managers
Training at a construction company has to be designed for two different companies. One is HQ (design, estimating, contracts and administration, management support), which stays in the office and works with documents. The other is the site, which appears when a project opens and disappears at completion. Use the same curriculum for both and one of them will always miss the mark.
On site, most training is set by law: basic safety and health training, training at hiring, and 16 hours a year for supervisors, with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act layered on top. So in construction, a training manager’s job is less about 'what should we learn?' and more about 'who has to complete what, by when, and how do we keep the records?'
Training we have delivered in construction and design
We sorted the course titles and clients of all 2,201 training sessions Nanum Consulting has actually delivered by topic and industry, and counted them. Instead of saying 'we've done that,' we show the numbers. We kept the rows with zero, too — the blanks are what make the other numbers credible.
We also deliver these topics in English. English-language training for foreign employees, overseas subsidiaries, expats and teams that report to global headquarters is a Nanum Consulting strength. Our instructors teach in English themselves, not through an interpreter. Across all industries, we have delivered 55 English sessions for 33 clients, including 1 in construction and design.
4 ways training differs in construction and design
The difference is in the conditions, not the curriculum. Settle these first, and the rest is simply choosing by topic.
- Sites open and closeTeams gather and disperse project by project, so the training roster drawn up at the start of the year is gone by year-end. It’s more realistic to prepare short programs that can be opened per site and deploy them as a set when construction starts.
- Day laborers must complete it before you hire themConstruction day laborers must have completed the 4-hour basic safety and health training for construction before you hire them. You don’t provide this training. You hire people who already have it, so build the check into your hiring process.
- Supervisor hours can’t be filled online aloneSupervisor refresher training is 16 hours a year, and more than half must be delivered in a non-remote format. It’s easier to lock in the 8 in-person hours first, then move the remaining hours online.
- Training is the evidenceWhen compliance with safety and health duties is examined under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, training records and their supporting evidence are the basis. Decide at the ordering stage how to keep training logs, completion rosters, and materials for each site.
Training focus by topic
The table above shows 'what we delivered and how much.' This section shows 'what changes in construction and design.'
Which statutory training requirements apply
Construction is a covered industry. Construction day laborers must complete basic safety and health training (4 hours) before you hire them, and supervisors need 16 hours a year, with more than half of it in person. The other subjects (sexual harassment prevention, disability awareness, personal data protection, retirement pensions) depend on headcount and company programs, not industry. We track what applies, and for how many hours, on a single statutory mandatory training reference page. Enter your headcount and industry in the checker to see what applies to your organization.
Sample annual schedule
This is a typical sequence in construction and design. Don’t copy it as is — adapt it to your organization’s calendar.
| Timing | What to include | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Jan–Feb | Annual training plan finalized · 8 in-person supervisor hours secured first | Lock in the in-person hours first and the rest falls into place |
| March | New hires (site and HQ tracks) · Training package for new sites at project kickoff | Sites open when construction starts |
| Apr–May | HQ AI and document-writing training · First round of H1 scheduled training | Training on headquarters documents pays off first |
| June | H1 mandatory training deadline · Check completion by site | Your sites are spread out, so start by taking stock of each one |
| Jul–Aug | Site manager & supervisor programs · Special safety training for extreme heat | Peak summer heat brings a surge in safety training demand |
| Sep–Oct | Serious Accidents Act course for executives · Joint safety training with subcontractors | Get your evidence in order before inspection season |
| November–December | H2 statutory deadlines · spending leftover budget · next year’s plan | Prepay unused year-end budget and use it next year |
