Trades guide

Your first week on site

Show up early, ask good questions, and write everything down.

• Before day one: confirm the start time, site address, parking, PPE list and who to report to.
• Day one: go to the site orientation, learn the muster point, and ask where the first aid kit and fire extinguishers are.
• All week: keep a pocket notebook for names, tasks and hours, and log your hours every day (use our hours log).
• Ask "Can you show me once more?" It's a strong question, not a weak one.
• Phone away unless you're told otherwise.
• Paperwork: keep a copy of your registration, and know who signs your hours.
• Safety: you have the right to refuse unsafe work. Learn your province's process.
