Training for Hazard Identification Controls
Through training, employees should be made aware of and able to recognize the hazards they may encounter while at work. These include hazards specific to their job as well as more general workplace hazards.
Employees should also understand:
- the measures taken to control hazards,
- why controls are important, and
- why controls must remain in place.
For example, if employees are not made aware of the hazards of noise exposure (e.g., in a hospital laundry or on a heliport), it is unlikely that they will use a control (e.g., hearing protection). It's also important to understand that employees are most likely to comply with the safety measures they've been trained on if they know why doing so will help to protect them.
