construction of large, commercial buildings. Much of the work for the company is done in-house, and the company employs its own crews to excavate, lay foundations, put up structural steel
(as the basis for the buildings) and complete the exterior masonry on most of the buildings. However, the problem came about when
Jack Marsden, project director for the company, was ordered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to close down a particular project until a specific list of hazardous practices
was stopped. The project in question, an Excel Hotel, was important, as it was the cornerstone of a major citys convention center. Without the hotels completion, the convention center itself
would be stalled in its tracks. In the following section, well provide a SWOT analysis of both the company and its
training habits. Strength. The one main strength that Petrie has going for it is that it already does have a training
program in place. Marsden, in a conversation with Bob Petrie (president of the company), notes that each of the crews goes through a training program before theyre put on a
project, with each employee being run through the rules, tested for their knowledge of the rules and demonstrating the correct and proper work procedures to the supervisors. So the implements
are in place to help out both the crews and the management, to ensure that they comply with OSHA requirements. Another strength
