About This Course

The Pre-Task Meeting is a requirement under the New York City Construction code, but it is a practical tool to use to protect workers from injury or illness. A job hazard analysis is the larger version of the Pre-Task meeting, so this meeting is shorter in nature. It is encouraged that the workers participate in the meeting to build commoradery. This course will give the student the understanding of:

1. NYC rules on Pre-Task Meetings
2. Nature of adult learners
3. Roles for the competent person
4. Understanding of a Job Hazard Analysis
5. Understanding of hazard control techniques
6. Effective communication tips
7. Trainees will learn the purpose and proper presentation of pre-task meetings
8. Trainees will become aware of administrative regulatory requirements associated pre-task meetings and record keeping standards.

A construction site often has many activities and different types of work being performed by many employees or companies in the same area. The complex and dynamic nature of these work activities present conditions that are constantly changing which by itself inherently presents new opportunities for safety issues to emerge.

A Pre-Task Meeting is a planning tool used to identify potential hazards and develop solutions to eliminate, control or minimize each hazard. The overall purpose of the Pre-Task Meeting is to ensure that employees engaged in high-risk activities are able to perform their work safely and to prevent injury.

You can think of a pre-task meeting like a huddle in football or soccer. Even though team members know their plays, know the rules of the game and know how to perform their tasks, the huddle allows them to focus on the same thing. It provides an opportunity for two‐way communication or “give and take” that is vital to the success of the next play which helps the team accomplish its goal.

Another way to look at a pre-task meeting is like a military briefing in the Armed Forces. Even though individual team members are highly trained and know how to perform their tasks, the goal of a briefing is to ensure everyone knows what it will take to accomplish the mission successfully. The personnel are also briefed on intelligence ‐ things that can kill them or lead to a failed mission.

In each of these cases the teams assess the real-time circumstances, discuss potential obstacles to performing the task and ensure all team members are working together according to plan.

"Our mission in construction is to complete the task and return home safely."

What are the course completion requirements to earn CEUs?

To successfully complete the course and earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs), you must:

Complete the required time within the course curriculum before the course is considered finished.
Validate your identity at designated checkpoints throughout the course.*
Pass all quizzes and the final exam with a minimum score of 70% within three attempts or fewer before a certificate of completion can be issued and CEUs can be awarded.**

*How is identity validated during the course?

360training verifies each learner’s identity through periodic validation questions during the learning event. At the beginning of the course, learners are prompted to answer a series of personal validation questions. These responses are securely saved in the Learning Management System (LMS).

What is your childhood nickname?
What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?
What is your oldest cousin’s first name?

Throughout the course, the LMS will prompt learners to answer these validation questions at preset intervals (e.g., every ten minutes).

If a learner answers correctly, they are allowed to continue.
Incorrect responses may result in the learning event being temporarily locked.

This process ensures the individual completing the course is the same person who enrolled.

**How are CEUs calculated?

Upon successful completion of the course requirements, CEUs will be awarded according to the following standard:

10 hours of education = 1.0 CEUs
30 hours of education = 3.0 CEUs
5 hours of education = 0.5 CEUs

Important: Partial credit or adjusted CEUs are not awarded. Learners must fully meet all course requirements, including identity validation, time-in-course, and passing scores, to receive CEUs.

How Quickly Will I Get My Certificate of Completion?

Upon successful completion of all required coursework and exams, you must provide documentation that verifies your identity and address, a recent passport-style photo, and an affidavit confirming that you completed the training yourself without outside assistance.

If you completed eligible courses with a provider other than 360training and want to apply those credits toward your SST card, you must also submit the corresponding proof of completion documents for validation.

In line with NYC DOB SST requirements, your certificate of completion will be issued only after all required materials have been received, reviewed, and approved. Please allow sufficient processing time for verification before your certificate is available to download or print.
