New Employees
New employees should receive initial orientation that introduces them to the company's safety rules and expectations. They should also receive an overview of the hazards that can be expected on the work site.
When developing and presenting initial orientation and instruction, consider the following:
- After inspecting a job site, a designated person should identify and evaluate all potential hazards for potential of serious injuries and probability of an accident. Actions will be taken to minimize the hazards and protect the workers.
- The length and level of detail of new employee orientation, instruction, and training depend on the nature of the hazards on the worksite and OSHA requirements.
- The safety coordinator or other designated site safety person will appraise the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) of exposed workers, and provide any needed on-the-job (OJT) training.
- Where safety training is needed, appropriate initial hands-on how-to (OJT) training should be provided.
- Records should be maintained for all new employee training sessions with descriptions of topics covered and names of workers trained.
