SAFETY ORIENTATION GUIDE FOR NEW
EMPLOYEES
Introduction:
The
purpose of this guide is to provide a framework for conducting safety
orientations for new employees. Accident
statistics show that new employees are much more likely to sustain on-the-job
injuries than more experienced workers.
Therefore, it is essential that new employees receive a detailed safety
orientation in order to provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to
perform their jobs safely and prevent accidents.
Safety
should be a priority for new employees from the first day of employment. They should be told of the City/Town and your
department’s commitment to safety and the expectation that all employees will
perform their jobs safely and avoid accidents.
Whether
the orientation is conducted by a supervisor, risk manager, human resources
representative or other official, certain safety-related information should be
reviewed.
Other
safe job procedures should be reviewed with employees prior to their assignment
to a task that exposes them to specific hazards.
While
this orientation guide is designed in a comprehensive manner, it is not
possible to cover every conceivable safety hazard, policy or procedure that
employees need to know about.
Henceforth, City/Town employees responsible for conducting safety
orientations should modify this document as appropriate to ensure that
everything that should be reviewed with new employees is adequately
covered. A copy of this program may be
obtained on floppy disk from the Risk Specialist so necessary changes can be
made.
Planning the Safety Orientation:
The Human Resources
Department has a formal employee orientation where employee payroll, benefits,
and other personnel-related policies are reviewed. After this process is completed, a brief
safety orientation is conducted by the Risk Specialist.
Department’s are
responsible for conducting safety orientations on the more complex safety
issues pertaining to their operations.
The Risk Specialist will help department’s set-up classroom instruction
if needed.
For
more than one employee, a classroom set-up is usually best. Arrangements should be made to have a TV/VCR,
other audio/visual equipment, adequate copies of pertinent policies and
procedures, personal protective equipment and other materials assembled prior
to the orientation. The meeting room
should be well lit and away from noisy areas and other distractions. An adequate amount of time should be planned
so you don’t have to rush through important information.
Conducting the Safety Orientation:
The first day on the job
typically involves many new faces and information that employees try their best
to absorb. In reality, the amount of
information that they will be able to retain is limited. With this in mind, the initial segment of the
safety orientation should cover general information that is not critical to
their survival, unless, of course, they are required to perform a hazardous activity
on day one.
Information
given to new employees on the first day should include a discussion of the City/Town
and the department’s commitment to safety and other basic safety
information. Module 1 provides a
checklist of key topics that should be covered on day one.
The
left side of the checklist includes boxes where the instructor can check “yes”
if the topic has been reviewed, “no” if it hasn’t, and “n/a” if the item is not
applicable to the particular employee(s) involved.
Under
each topic are notes to the instructor, key points, and resources. The “notes to instructor” prompt the person
conducting the orientation to gather and review various policies and
procedures, coordinate additional training, etc. The “key points” section
serves as a reminder of important information to impart to new employees during
the orientation. Y
Documentation:
It
is important that you document the safety orientation as well as any other
safety training. A form has been
provided in Appendix B that you can use for this purpose.
Follow-up:
As
mentioned earlier, employees will not retain all the information that you
review with them during the safety orientation.
Therefore, follow-up training may be necessary to review key safety
policies, procedures and hazards.
Additional training classes may be needed to teach specific job skills
in order to prevent accidents.
Also,
retraining may be needed if an accident occurs or an employee is observed
performing a job unsafely. Be sure to
document any follow-up training.
