Week 4 – Competency Evaluation: Workplace Safety and OSHA 10 Fundamentals

Demonstrate Mastery

Complete your Month 1 competency evaluation and submit your documentation for journeyman review

Month 1 Wrap-Up

Apply OSHA and Electrical Safety Practices in Sign Fabrication Environments

This month introduced you to the safety foundation every sign fabrication professional is expected to carry onto any jobsite. You researched safety independently, studied the formal standards, and applied what you learned in a real-world context. Week 4 is your opportunity to demonstrate that the competency has moved from your notes to your hands — that you can perform it correctly, safely, and without being told how.

Competency 1 — Core

  • Apply OSHA and electrical safety practices in sign fabrication environments
  • Add a single and succinct list item
