Construction Plans on Your iPad?
This isn’t quite my area, but I read a fascinating review of an app and method to put construction plans on your mobile device. The app has an easy zoom feature, so the small screen of an iPad relative to the large nature of jobsite plans is not an issue. One can also add photos to the plans as the jobsite continues. A very robust app.
Again, this is not my area but the review was fascinating – here is a link to the original article:

OSHA Trainers – Free General Industry Presentations and Guides
As with the construction programs, these are by OSHA so a little dry in their set up, but nice in that they can be used as a ‘start’ on creating your own programs.

OSHA Construction Trainers – Presentations – Download Here!
These are actually by OSHA, so a bit old, and a little dry – however, they can be modified as needed, updated, made more interesting, personalized, etc. These are for the OSHA 10 and 30 hour construction program. You will see two documents for each subject (sorry for not renaming them like I normally do, but there were a lot of files and I had laundry and ironing) – one is a powerpoint, and the other is a lesson guide. As such, these are good even if you are weak on a subject.
Oh – here is a previous link to the Intro to OSHA, plus Focus Four presentations:

Free Book – Guidance for Occupational Health Professionals
An interesting book – this one has a copyright on it, but is offered for free – if anyone has a complaint, let me know and I will delete this post. Oddly, it is offered in Word format, but I am posting here in Word and PDF (a PDF is easier to read in iBooks on an iPad).
