SAFETY

Practice to ensure proper response in an emergency:

• Conduct regular safety drills (fire, earthquake, evacuation) to ensure proper response.
• Use scenario-based training for hazardous material handling.
• Schedule surprise drills to test readiness and refine processes.

Have practice sessions to make sure people know what to do:

• Host regular training sessions on safety protocols, procedures, and workplace health.
• Provide specialized training for high-risk tasks or equipment operation.
• Ensure training is accessible to all employees, including remote workers.
• Use e-learning modules for ongoing skill development.

Enlist senior staff to support junior staff:

• Implement mentorship programs for new employees to ensure safe work practices.
• Encourage experienced employees to provide hands-on guidance and best practices.
• Pair mentors with mentees for at least the first year of employment.
• Recognize and reward mentors for their efforts in promoting workplace health and safety.

Implement and mandate safety credentials for challenging issues:

• Require certifications and recertifications for high-risk tasks.
• Offer recognition for achieving advanced safety training certifications.

Check to see that the necessary knowledge and behaviors are ingrained in your workforce:

• Regularly assess training programs for effectiveness and update as needed.
• Implement feedback loops to gather employee input on training experiences.
