Where COMPANIES miss the mark on SAFETY TRAINING?



Your safety training program isn’t terrible, but it could be better. You have guidelines in place, but they’re not always effective. You don’t have many recorded incidents, but you’d like to see fewer.

Any of this sound familiar? A lot of companies fall into a middle-of-the-road category when it comes to safety training. Here are some questions to help you determine where your organization might be falling short.

Do I make it a PRIORITY?
Many companies develop their safety training based on what’s required for compliance with OSHA or EPA guidelines. Yet these organizations actually EXPECT companies to go the extra mile with safety training. If you’re only doing the minimum, you’re not doing enough.

Do I have dedicated safety PERSONNEL?
Even if you don’t have a full blown safety department, you should have someone on staff that’s trained in EPA and OSHA standards and knows how to apply to them to your operations. Without knowledgeable personnel, it’s difficult to develop truly effective safety programs.

Do we offer “REFRESHER TRAINING?”
A lot of companies only provide safety training for employees when they’re hired. But as processes change and employees shift into new roles, employees also need “refresher training” to review safety information and train on new processes, devices and equipment.

Do we SELF-AUDIT?
Self-audits are like safety check-ups for companies. You should be doing them annually to ensure your safety training is effective and up-to-date.
