BEFORE they are exposed to the hazards.– Cooperate to the fullest with your management team and Safety SME

trainers to ensure our new employees get the training they need before the

exposure happens:• Hazard Communication – exposures to chemicals

• PPE – Eyes, ears, arms, feet…the list is long.

• Fall Protection – Been to FP Lab?

• Structural Steel – Leading Edge Work?

• Confined Space – Supervisor, Attendant, Entrant..?

• Lock-Out/Tag-Out – De-Energize

• Scaffolding – User? Scaffold Builder?

• Ladders – Do they know the safe way to use a ladder?– And many others.

First 90 Days

• Really gives you the supervisor the opportunity to

engage with a new employee one-on-one as they work

through the 5 Week Orientation Program

been given to you as a guide and resource
