Safety and Health: Training for Employees, Supervisors, and Managers

An effective accident avoidance program requires appropriate task efficiency from everyone in the office. As an owner or manager, you need to make sure that all employees know about the products and equipment they deal with, understand threats, and how to control those dangers. Each staff member needs to understand the following:

• No employee is expected to carry out a job up until she or he has gotten the correct job instructions and is authorized to carry out that task.
• No employee should carry out a job that appears risky.

You might have the ability to combine safety and health training with other training sessions, depending on the kinds of hazards present in your work environment. Here are some actions to consider:

• Ask your OSHA state consultant to suggest training for your worksite. The consultant may be able to carry out training for your employees.
• Make sure you have trained your employees on every potential hazard that they could be exposed to and how to safeguard themselves from those threats. Then, have employees acknowledge they’ve been trained.
• Pay particular attention to your new employees and to employees who are moving to new roles within the organization. Given that they are working in new operations, they are most likely to get injured.
• Train your managers to understand all the threats faced by the workers and how to strengthen training with quick suggestions and refreshers, or with disciplinary action if needed.
• Make sure that your leading management staff understands their safety and health duties and how to hold secondary supervisory staff members accountable for their actions.
