Does anyone know about how long is LDC maintenance training is? Is it one week (4 days) or 2 weeks (8 days) in USA?

What kind of training?

[AH173]

I would guess it's the training that the JW broadcasting talked about last year that they will be training. My wife and I was invited for July 18th through that Thursday and next I get email for training for previous week July 11th to that Thursday. 

 

I texted both my LDC contacts in my cong and they said they don't know. I also emailed the brother who sent the 2nd email for the previous week invitation and he hasn't got back in touch with me. 

 

I was wondering if anyone knew. I guess it's about maintaining our local Kingdom Hall.

I attended the MTV at the assembly hall last year and it was 4 weeks. I have not attended an MTV for the KH yet.

I have found out the answer. It's scheduled for 3 weeks or 12 days (Monday to Thursday). 

Must rely heavily on Jehovah. 

[AH173]

After the 3 week (4 days per week) after the July 4th our brothers have scheduled this Saturday to utilize some training my wife received. Was informed that we'll be takings care of fluorescent lights. 

 

The training we received was very impressive. It initially applies to our local assembly Hall in Willoughby Ohio but we'll use it at our local double hall.  

 

This week I took care of string trimming the property and applying Roundup to keep weeds back from growing. A hot and steamy 7 hours of work spread across 3 days. 

 

Looking forward to the weekend!

a maintenance trainers (sometimes couple) sent by bethel will visit a kingdom hall for one week (no matter how many congregations use it.) the trainer will train brothers using that kingdom hall how to maintain (repair) the KH. they will also teach the brothers how to properly spend funds on KH projects. There is a video (i think from JWB) to be shown to all of those who will volunteer. then they will be given tasks to complete. hope this helps.

My congregation has the circuit assembly tomorrow,  so we didn't see it yet.  I was at the hall yesterday and one elder makes reference to it to service Overseer and me.  It seems to be a nice video that the friends will be encouraged.

Maintenance Training can vary

We had it for 4 weeks @ the WPBCCC-but that is probably the largest AH in the US (West Palm Beach)

and then again we had Maintenance trainers @ the Local KH for 2 days

there are many bits and pieces

first the Jobs themselves are reviewed/determined

then a JHA is created - Job Hazard Analysis card

then whenever someone performs these jobs they are to review the card

I've had the privilege of being trained and being the trainer

Each assignment varies and some are weekly/monthly maint.  while other things are performed annually

the goal would be to train several folks in each location to handle all the basic maint. and to do so SAFELY

We now also have a regular newsletter that discusses SAFETY and we review it during morning worship

at both LDC projects and regular maintenance work days

Some local brothers recently attended an LDC meeting, I heard that the brothers were told that if they weren't using the Builders Assistant program, they weren't part of the LDC. It sounds like the Builders Assistant will be the only means of communication when the LDC is looking for help. Everyone that filled out a DC-50 is encouraged to update their BA profile.

[Qapla]

The update to the BA program is scheduled for Jan. 25 - the way we login will undergo some changes.

Just had our Kingdom Hall maintenance training for the rest of us today.

The brother and his wife has been going over the hall taking photos and getting everything organised including throwing out our step ladders and replacing them, and training elders etc.

90 minutes of talks presentations and explanations. Savings of around $80,000,000 per year I believe he said are likely through doing this.

We had 104 show up to be shown the ropes on how to use the manual and worksheets and what was involved.. Youngest there was about 4 oldest was in their 80s and every age between.

My 8 year old son kept asking questions and offering his thoughts, as he always does. It was great to see the brother take time to answer him and encourage him.

It looks like the update to Builders Assistant is complete, I linked my BA account to my JW.org account.

The BA program needed to verify my baptism date but they had originally entered the wrong year, that hasn't been a problem until I tried to link the accounts so I had to use the wrong date for my baptism...

We had our Kingdome Hall maintenace training  last saturday. The presenters made a point that this was not the time for an inspection, throwing out ladders, etc. But we did go over all the forms and then divided into groups for some practical training in their use. I really appreciate the emphasis on safety and training. This is a far cry from the way we operated under our EBC in the 1990s and earler.

I am a wee bit sensitive about safety, having had three workers killed on my projects. I shiver when I think of brothers spreading plywood on a quick  build roof in freezing rain and 35 mph, gusting to 50 winds. When I complained I was  told "It's Ok, they are being careful." That is just one example and there were many similar practices under the old QB system.

I laud these new programs.

We had our 3 hour training session and videos Saturday (yesterday).  It was a great session with breakout practice session as well.  I am an LDC trainer for HVAC but this was my own Kingdom Hall and it was very good.  I got to be a learner not a presenter or trainer. 

[Qapla]

Our area just had a "major" meeting for LDC with Elders being invited from all over the state and the islands that are part of the "zone" we are in.

Last Friday a couple of brother were adding a data line to the old 'Translation' room at the AH. They are converting it to a 'Maintenance' office. They said that LCD was going to aggressively implement the maintenance program that started with the MTV we had nearly two years ago. Apparently a brother will be using the new office to take over some of the maintenance responsibilities the AH caretaker would normally manage.
