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.
