OSHA’s HazCom standard requires that employees be informed of the hazards associated with the chemicals in their workplace and how to protect themselves from exposure. This course explains the purpose of the HazCom standard, and how to reduce risks when dealing with hazardous chemicals. Watch this course preview to learn how supervisors can best communicate that information to employees.
By promoting a psychologically safe work environment, employers can reduce employee turnover, increase productivity, and improve safety and security. This training will give you the tools to create a psychologically safe workplace.
Supervisors must be certain that all employees have the knowledge to carry out their role in the workplace in a safe manner. Training is the “how,” meaning the skills, practices, procedures, and safe behaviors that keep a worker safe. But also important is the “why.” A common reason employees fail to follow rules is that they don’t know why the rules matter. When employees are educated on the consequences of behaviors and deviations from the rules, they’re more likely to follow them.
Personal hygiene and grooming are two topics that can often be taken for granted. Most employees practice good hygiene and grooming on their own, but what about when employees don’t know to follow these standards?
According to one of the first definitions of safety culture, it’s “an organizational culture in which ‘safety is an overriding priority.’” The term “safety culture” implies a value for safety or a culture of safety. Still, now use the term to describe an organization’s culture as it relates to safety values and beliefs, regardless of whether the organization truly values safety.
This session focuses primarily on large lead-based batteries, as well as lithium-ion batteries that are frequently used in a large number of industrial settings. This course will help employees understand potential hazards when dealing with battery-operated equipment, how to handle batteries, and what to do in case of a battery-related emergency.
Due to a series of catastrophic incidents worldwide, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued its process safety management (PSM) regulations in 1992. These regulations contain requirements for managing hazards associated with processes using highly hazardous chemicals in order to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals.
What information must be retained to document training? Does record of training completion suffice, or must there be additional information about the type and content of the training?
U.S. companies spent over $100 billion on training and employee development efforts in 2022, but many organizations continue to fall short on their training efforts. In a previous post, we explained what a culture of learning is and how it can help organizations make the most of their learning and development training investments. In this article, we’ll discuss some basic tips and strategies for creating this type of culture.
