Safety training – based on job

Safety training

Many training programs require performance evaluations. • Do not sign a performance evaluation unless you agree that you have been trained and understand your responsibilities when performing the task.

Safety begins with YOU!

Accidents and injuries can happen to anyone, no matter how many years on the job.The keys to prevention are:• Awareness of your work environment• Respect for the potential job hazards (such as sharp tools or running equipment)

• Following safe work practices in every job task you perform

• Complying with the company EH&S policy.

Each of us is responsible for our own safety as well as the safety of others.• Report any unsafe conditions to your supervisor immediately.

• We have a concern for employees and their well-being both on and off the job.

This goes much further than compliance!

Safety begins with YOU!

Follow the chain of command.If you ever feel that an unsafe condition is not addressed appropriately or timely

Safety begins with YOU!

Safety begins with YOU!

Safety committee

Dangerous work: hazardous condition which presents a risk of death or serious physical harm

Right to refuse is protected if:• You asked your supervisor to eliminate the danger & they failed to do so

• Your refusal is in “good faith” – you truly believe a danger exists
