Tampa Bay Training offers open-enrollment and private classes through onsite or live online instruction.

Price: $125 per participant Course length: 4 hours Maximum class size: 20 participants Completion document: Tampa Bay Training certificate of completion


Who Should Attend?

Foundations for Safety Leadership is designed for:

  • Foremen and frontline supervisors
  • Crew leaders and team leaders
  • Public works and utility supervisors
  • Construction supervisors and superintendents
  • Safety coordinators
  • Managers responsible for field employees
  • Emerging leaders preparing for greater safety responsibilities

Participants do not need prior OSHA Outreach training to attend the standalone FSL course.


What Participants Will Learn

Participants examine the costs of ineffective safety leadership and the benefits of leadership practices that contribute to a stronger safety climate.

Core leadership skills include:

  • Leading by example
  • Engaging and empowering team members
  • Actively listening and using clear three-way communication
  • Teaching, coaching, and providing constructive feedback
  • Recognizing team members for positive contributions

Participants apply the skills to workplace scenarios and consider how their leadership choices can affect communication, worker involvement, hazard reporting, and safe job performance.


Relationship to OSHA 30-Hour Construction

Foundations for Safety Leadership was developed by CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training. OSHA approved the program as an elective topic within the OSHA 30-Hour Construction Outreach course.

Tampa Bay Training also offers FSL as a standalone four-hour course. Completing the standalone course provides a Tampa Bay Training certificate of completion. It does not provide an OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour student course completion card.


Open-Enrollment Classes

Open-enrollment classes are appropriate for individuals and smaller groups. Tampa Bay Training intends to hold every advertised FSL class rather than canceling it merely because enrollment is low.

Classes may be conducted onsite at a published location or through live online instruction.


Private Training

Private FSL training allows supervisors and team leaders from the same organization to work through shared leadership challenges and relevant workplace scenarios.

  • Onsite or live online delivery
  • $125 per participant
  • Seven-participant billing minimum
  • Maximum of 20 participants
  • Onsite travel or other approved logistical charges may apply

If fewer than seven participants attend, the base training fee is still calculated for seven.

Cindy Torres will confirm the requested date, delivery format, instructor availability, participant count, location, technology, travel, and complete price.


Live Online Requirements

The live online class is scheduled and instructor-led. It is not a self-paced recording.

Each participant must:

  • Use a laptop or desktop computer; mobile devices may not be used.
  • Have a functioning camera and microphone.
  • Maintain stable internet access.
  • Keep the camera and audio available as directed.
  • Attend the entire class and actively participate.
  • Join from a location suitable for focused learning.

Certificate of Completion

Participants who complete the course receive a Tampa Bay Training certificate of completion. The certificate does not expire.

An employer may establish its own refresher or continuing-training expectations based on organizational needs, job responsibilities, incidents, or changes in workplace policies.
