Hazard Communication training is required for all employees at risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals in the work environment. This training introduces employees to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical safety, including how to recognize chemical hazards, read Safety Data Sheets, label chemicals, and respond to spills or exposure events. We will also address basic rules for safe chemical use and storage, such as following the manufacturer’s PPE policies.
Authorized employees must be prepared to maintain personal safety during service or maintenance events by using hazardous energy control methods. This presentation teaches authorized employees to recognize common sources and magnitudes of hazardous energy in the workplace, explains basic lockout/tagout equipment, steps, and rules, and discusses minor servicing procedures (if applicable to the workplace).
Even though affected employees are not directly involved in hazardous energy control, they must still be able to recognize situations where hazardous energy control is used and know how to maintain personal safety. This training covers basic principles of hazardous energy control, a discussion of several frequent sources of hazardous energy in the workplace, an explanation of LOTO, including how to recognize devices, and what to expect from authorized personnel who use LOTO in their vicinity. An optional discussion of minor servicing procedures is included (if applicable to the workplace).
Recognizing workplace hazards is the first step in reducing risk. This training teaches employees how to identify job hazards and apply controls, including using the hierarchy of controls. We discuss hazard recognition tools like audits, incident review, and JHA, including a breakdown of how to perform JHA. While the principles of hazard recognition are relevant to all employees, the focus on using identification tools like JHA makes this training appropriate for a supervisor, lead, or Safety Committee audience.
This training covers basic machine safety, which includes a discussion of employee responsibilities when using machines (i.e., knowing/understanding controls, locations of e-stops, housekeeping, etc.) and an overview of common machine hazards and safeguarding techniques that employees might encounter in the workplace (i.e., physical guarding, guarding-by-distance, light curtains, etc.).
Optimized Lifting focuses on identifying and mitigating lifting hazards. Training includes an explanation of the anatomy and forces involved in lifting and how employees should prepare for and perform these tasks to reduce the risk of injury.
