During the month of July, UV awareness for outdoor workers is critically important. With the summer sun at its peak, UV radiation levels are at their highest, posing significant health risks such as sunburn, heat exhaustion, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Outdoor workers, who spend long hours outside, must be vigilant about UV protection.

Employers should ensure that workers are equipped with broad-spectrum sunscreen, protective clothing, hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Additionally, providing shaded rest areas and encouraging regular breaks can help mitigate the harmful effects of UV exposure. By prioritizing UV awareness and protection, we can safeguard the health and well-being of those who build and maintain our infrastructure.

We are happy to announce that the connector road to our overflow parking lot has been reopened. Additionally, we have added a new parking area to better accommodate your parking needs.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during construction.

Continuing our series on the importance of sustained improvement in training and use of adult learning theory, in Part III, we present discuss Empowering Learning Through Discovery.

Training developed and delivered with adult learning theory (ALT) at its core aligns with the unique characteristics and needs of adult learners. This month, we focus on confirmation of learning: 

Student Exploration: Empowering Learning Through Discovery

At The Safety Council of SWLA, we believe that learning should be a journey of discovery. That's why we encourage student exploration in all our courses. We go beyond traditional teaching methods to empower students to drive their own learning through investigation and hands-on discovery.

Student exploration is about more than just memorizing facts; it's about understanding concepts deeply and applying knowledge creatively. We provide opportunities for students to investigate real-world challenges, solve problems, and explore new ideas within the context of our courses.

Our courses are designed to foster a sense of ownership and empowerment, leading to deeper understanding and meaningful outcomes.

Join us at The Safety Council of SWLA and embark on a journey of discovery where learning knows no bounds.

UPCOMING COURSE: TUESDAY, JULY 16
