NATURE OF TRADE
Because they assist other building trade workers, the laborer is one of the most important employees in construction.
Some of the different phases of work performed by Laborers include concrete work, brick tenders, plaster tenders, hazardous waste, lead abatement, asbestos abatement, sewer tile, pipe laying, demo work, highway and heavy work, pipeline workers, scaffolding, and other general construction duties.
We offer training through Iowa Laborer’s Building and Training Fund for various phases of the construction industry, including O.S.H.A., First Aid, CPR, and other Annual Safety Courses.
