Safety
Shorts are provided to
assist members in increasing
safety awareness among
employees. They are designed
for supervisors to review
a subject with employees
prior to performing a
certain task, as a “shop
talk” at
the beginning of the workday,
after an accident or “near
miss” or
as part of a scheduled
safety meeting. Safety
Shorts may be used as
handouts or printed for
posting. Feel free to
copy and distribute them
to employees as you deem
appropriate.
It
is recommended that each
time you meet to review
a topic with employees,
you document the meeting.
These records should
be kept on file. A Record
of Training document for
this purpose is linked
or you can use your
own form.
Safety
Shorts are provided for
informational purposes only
and provide a general review
of some of the more common
hazards and precautions.
More extensive training
may be required to adequately
address all aspects of job
safety.
