ACTUAL SITUATION
I met with a Health and Safety Rep of a large organization. During our meeting they explained that their organization had a very good training plan. They even mentioned that they work very closely with the Ministry of Labour rep for their area. When I asked one employee a question regarding the training they had received on the specific piece of equipment they were operating they said the only formal training they had received was from a person who operated it last year. The operator also said that they had wished they had received some guidance in the specific area of use on uneven terrain;
1. I witnessed several safety infractions, in a matter of minutes, and all within one specific location; and
2. I had a Supervisor tell me that they provide their staff with PP & E but they can’t make them wear it.
Is it true that once you have told your employees to wear their PP&E that if they choose not to use it that it is out of your hands????
Why take chances? Ask us about how we can help you develop new training programs focused on your specific requirements, or we can simply review your existing programs in order to ensure your staff is receiving the proper training from qualified instructors.
