The construction environment poses many dangers to workers. As the official training provider of District Council #21, the primary focus of the Finishing Trades Institute’s Health and Safety Department, in conjunction with our contractor associations (DVIPA, AGMA, AMPD and IFCA) is to safeguard the well-being of all members. We are dedicated to promoting safety education, preparation and professional development.
