Ongoing Training
The Safety Coordinator or other designated site safety person will appraise the skill and knowledge level of exposed workers, and provide any needed training.
If the worker changes jobs, he or she should once again demonstrate adequate knowledge and ability to correctly perform new procedures and operate any new tools or equipment involved with the procedure.
After inspecting a job site, a designated person should identify and evaluate all potential hazards that may cause serious injuries and increase the probability of an accident. Actions will be taken to minimize the hazards and protect the workers.
Where safety and health training is needed as a result of hazard identified on the worksite, be sure to develop training that at least does the following:
- Describe the hazards that have been identified.
- Explain specific safe practices the necessary precautions.
- Require students to demonstrate competence.
Toolbox Talks: Short toolbox talks (also called tailgate meetings) in which employees gather around informally should be conducted regularly (daily or weekly). Virtually any topic may be included such as:
- Safe work practices necessary for that day's work
- Any safety concerns workers may have
- Brief refresher training on relevant safety topics (topics to be provided by the Safety Coordinator)
Records should be maintained for all training sessions with descriptions of topics covered and names of workers trained. When students learn how to perform safe procedures, be sure to formally certify them as competent and qualified in writing.
