Key Elements of the Glazier 30-60-90 Day Plan
This plan is divided into three focused phases, each with targeted objectives and actionable tasks:
First 30 Days: Orientation and Safety Training
New glaziers will complete comprehensive safety training, including fall protection, glass handling, and personal protective equipment (PPE) usage. They will familiarize themselves with company policies, tools, and basic installation techniques under supervision.

Days 61-90: Independent Work and Quality Assurance
Glaziers will take on increased responsibility, performing installations with minimal supervision and ensuring adherence to quality standards. They will collaborate closely with project managers to meet deadlines and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
Throughout all phases, progress will be documented, and regular check-ins will be scheduled to address questions, provide coaching, and adjust goals as needed.
This structured approach ensures new glaziers become skilled, safety-conscious professionals who contribute effectively to your glazing projects from day one.
