Safety from day one
When you’re new on the job, you could use assistance being safe.
New employees don’t know everything about policies, work procedures, hazards and precautions. Safety training during orientation is important. It can prevent new employees from developing unsafe habits that could cause an accident or injury. Observations can help identify unsafe habits or behaviors that need changing.
What happens when managers fulfill their obligation to train new employees and make safety resources available?
- Accident and injury rates decrease.
- Employees know that management cares about their well-being.
- Employees understand the importance of following procedures and working safety.
- New employees become productive and proficient.
And that’s smart safety.
