SAFETY TRAINING <br /> The goal of safety training is to develop safe work habits and attitudes. It is critical that new <br /> workers understand work rules and procedures prior to being assigned to a job. Supervisors are <br /> responsible for providing safety training to their department employees. The following <br /> guidelines should be helpful in properly training new hires and newly assigned personnel. <br /> BE PREPARED <br /> 1. Have a timetable—how much skill do you expect? How soon? <br /> 2. Breakdown the job—list important steps, pick out the key points. <br /> (Safety is always a key point!). <br /> 3. Have everything ready—prepare equipment,materials and supplies. <br /> 4. Have the workplace prepared—have everything as close to reality as possible. <br /> 5. Remember, when teaching adults, it is best"share"our experiences rather the <br /> "lecture" about how much we know. Adults learn best when they are a part of a <br /> group and are treated with respect. No one likes to be talked down to. <br /> HOW TO INSTRUCT <br /> 1. Prepare—put the worker at ease. Define the job and find out how much they may <br /> already know. Develop interest. <br /> 2. Present—tell, show and illustrate ONE STEP at a time. <br /> 3. Try out performance—have the person do the job-correct errors. Make sure the <br /> person understands. Repeat until you know they understand. <br /> 4. Follow up—put them on their own. Designate to whom to go for help. Check often. <br /> Encourage question. Don't"Mother Hen" trainees. <br /> Make sure that each person knows that"The Safe Way is the right Way". Each employee will <br /> have an EMPLOYEE SAFETY TRAINING CHECKLIST on file. A sample check list is the <br /> following page. <br /> 7 <br />
