The Importance of Regular Health and Safety Training for New Employees
New employees are often at a higher risk of accidents and injuries due to their lack of familiarity with workplace hazards and safety procedures. Regular HSE training is essential for ensuring that new hires are properly equipped to work safely from day one. In this blog, we’ll discuss the importance of safety training for new employees and how icTc can support your training efforts.
Why New Employees Are at Higher Risk:
New employees may not be fully aware of the specific hazards in their new workplace or how to properly use safety equipment. Without proper training, they may be more likely to make mistakes that could lead to accidents or injuries. Regular safety training helps bridge this gap, ensuring that new hires are informed and prepared.
Key Topics for New Employee Safety Training:
Introduction to Workplace Hazards: Provide an overview of the specific hazards in your workplace, including chemical, physical, and ergonomic risks.
Safety Procedures and Protocols: Train new employees on the safety procedures and protocols they need to follow, such as emergency exits, lockout/tagout procedures, and PPE requirements. Equipment and Tool Safety: Ensure that new hires are trained on the safe use of any equipment or tools they will be using in their role. Reporting and Communication: Teach new employees how to report hazards, near-misses, and incidents, and encourage open communication about safety concerns.
