About Yuri

With over 11 years of experience in the construction safety industry, Yuri V Taboada brings deep practical knowledge to every training session at FastTrack TLG. He previously served as a Safety Training Technical Consultant at Gallagher Basset Technical Services and as Safety Director at MoD Safety Consultants, where he built a strong foundation in NYC construction site safety management.

Originally from El Salvador, Yuri describes his path into construction safety as a "roller coaster living style" that brought him here. He believes in a situational teaching approach — assessing each group's needs and tailoring instruction using andragogy principles to ensure every student, regardless of background, fully grasps the material.

At FastTrack TLG, Yuri specializes in supported and suspended scaffold training (installer and supervisor), Site Safety, and rigging — including Special Rigger, Rigging Worker and Supervisor, and Lift Director. He has trained over two thousand students. What he enjoys most about FastTrack is "the permanent commitment to improvement."
