Some worksites experience fairly frequent occupational injuries and illnesses. At such sites, it is especially important that employees receive periodic safety and health training to refresh their memories and to teach new methods of control. New training also may be necessary when OSHA or industry standards require it or new standards are issued. The supervisor periodically spends some time watching an individual employee work. Then the supervisor meets with the employee to discuss safe work practices, bestow credit for safe work, and provide additional instruction to counteract any observed unsafe practices.
Positive feedback given for safe work practices is a very powerful tool.
It helps workers establish new safe behavior patterns and recognizes and thereby reinforces the desired behavior. Evaluations Evaluations can help determine whether the training you have provided has achieved its goal of improving your employees' safety performance. When training ends, test for improvement. Ask employees to explain their jobs' hazards, protective measures, and new skills and knowledge. Keep track of employee attendance at training.
