5. Hazard Communication
• Trained initially and
when new chemical
introduced
• OSHA standard
covered
• Operations in their
work area where
chemical is used

6. Lockout
• Employees who must be trained
initially
– Authorized
– Affected
– Others - Contractors
• Retraining
• Certify training
• No annual requirement, but
Retraining when..
• A change in job assignments.
• A change in machines,
equipment, or processes that
present a new hazard.
• A change in the energy control
procedures.
• Periodic inspections reveal that
there are deviations in the energy
control procedure.
• The employer believes that there
are deviations from, or
inadequacies in, the employee's
knowledge or use of the energy
control procedures.

7. PPE
• Communicate PPE selection decisions
to each affected employee
• When PPE is necessary;
• What PPE is necessary; How to
properly don, doff, adjust, and wear
PPE;
• The limitations of the PPE; and
• The proper care, maintenance, useful
life and disposal of the PPE.
• Each affected employee shall
demonstrate an understanding of the
training specified in paragraph
1910.132(f)(1) of this section, and
the ability to use PPE properly,
before being allowed to perform
work requiring the use of PPE.

8. Hazard
Communication
• Location of program, list of
chemical, and MSDS
• Detection of chemical
• Hazards of chemical
• Protection measures
• Emergency procedures
• Labeling system used

9. Forklifts
• Initially
• Every 3 years
• Near Miss
• Are the operators trained to
inspect?

10. Hot Works

• The employer shall provide
training in the use and care of all
hearing protectors provided to
employees.
• The training program shall be
repeated annually
• Train on effects of noise, access
to the OSHA standard and where
it is posted. Proper insertion will affect the
quality of sound reduction.

13. Who needs
training?
1910.332(a)
Employees in occupations listed
in Table S-4 face such a risk
and are required to be trained.
Other employees who also may
reasonably be expected to face
comparable risk of injury due to
electric shock or other electrical
hazards must also be trained.
 At a minimum, be trained in and familiar
with the following:
 The skills and techniques necessary to
distinguish exposed live parts from other
parts of electric equipment.
 The skills and techniques necessary to
determine the nominal voltage of exposed
live parts, and
 The clearance distances specified in
1910.333(c) and the corresponding
voltages to which the qualified person
will be exposed.

14. Table S4

16. Electrical Arc Flash
• Removing or installing
circuit breakers or fuses
• Voltage testing
• Working on control
circuits when energized
parts exposed

17. Confined Space
 Train before being assigned, when changes
occur
 Provide advisory training prior to entry of any
space
 Rescue training is often inadequate!

18. Fire Extinguishers

an educational program to
familiarize employees with the
general principles of fire
extinguisher use and the hazards
involved with incipient stage fire
fighting.
• Upon initial employment and at
least annually thereafter.

19. Training

22. Motorized Equipment

23. Jan 2014
• 43-year-old Ronald L.
Meier, of Maria Stein,
Ohio, was working on
a skid loader when
the bucket fell,
pinning him between
the loader and the
bucket

24. Aug 2017
• “We believe the front-end
loader struck this female.
• Unbeknownst to the operator
of the front-end loader, he
continued to operate the front
loader and at some point
ended up accidentally running
over this individual as well,”
said Sgt. Michael Lynch of the
Pinellas Park FL Police
Department.

25. Ergonomics
• Aon – still 30% of worker
compensation claims
• Risks
• 25 pounds pull push
• 50 pounds lift
• 2 hours on knees, bending, lifting
over shoulders
• Bending and twist
• Constant standing

26. Ergonomics

27. Nail Guns
• Safety to prevent
accidental firing
• Wear safety glasses
• No Horseplay.
Nail embedded in the
knee

28. Aug
2017
"I was just bringing the nail gun forward
and I was on my tip-toes and I just didn't
quite have enough room, and it fired before
I was really ready for it, and then it dropped
down and it fired again," Bergeson recalls.

29. Chain Saws
• April 2003 - victim
was operating kicked
back causing the
rotating chain to make
contact with the
victim's neck
• Wear Proper PPE
• ANSI B175.1-2000 for
chainsaw safety

30. Chain Saws

31. Power Washing
• 150 psi
• Lance water pressure
caused small cut
above boot
• Infected
• Hospitalized

32. When Is Training a Solution?
• Lack of knowledge of work process
• Unfamiliarity with equipment
• Incorrect execution of a task
Most effective when designed in relation to employer’s
total safety management system goals & integrated
in all organizational activities.

33. 4 Categories: Training and Non-
Training Problems and Solutions

(Training)
Environment Motivation/
Incentive

34. Learning Styles
• Visual
– Learn from seeing
• Auditory
– Learn from hearing
• Kinesthetic
– Learn through moving, doing, and touching

36. Job Instruction Training (JIT)
A method of on-the job training
used to teach workers to perform
specific tasks.

37. Benefits of JIT
• Training/guidance is personal – higher employee
motivation.
• Deficiencies can be identified and corrected.
• Results are immediately evaluated.
• Employee can easily ask questions.
• If using completed JSAs for JIT, the importance
of safety and health is reinforced.

38. Four Main Steps of JIT
1. Preparation
2. Presentation/demonstration
3. Performance
4. Follow-up

39. Phases of a Managed
Safety Training Process

DevelopmentDelivery

40. One company
• 38% of injuries are new employees under
a year
• Yet only are 9% of the workforce
• $735,632 in the last five years.
• 47% cost of total cost of injuries
• Ave $13,000 an injury.
40

41. Trainers
• Familiarity clouds vision
• Critical details are left out.
• Common sense is not
common without life
experiences
• Several people train new
employees.
• One thinks the other
trained new employee in
certain details.
• Each trainer may do it a
slightly different way.
• The wrong info is
taught to the trainee
• Trainer may have
“production first”
mentality
• Emphasizes getting the
job done as quickly as
possible and at all costs
• Leads to generation of
“production first” culture
41

42. Trainee
• Nods yes when
asked if he/she
understands but
really doesn’t
understand
• Afraid to ask
questions
• Forgets training
information because
it was trained in a
lecture in classroom
style
• Overloaded with
information
• May not be paying
attention
42

43. Supervisors/Leadmen
• Little involvement/interaction
with the new employee
• Goes off “gut” feeling to
determine if the employee can
safety begin working on their
own
• No verification process used to
if the new employee
comprehends and retains the
info taught to them
• Common use of checklist to
verify that they were trained on
a certain date.
43

44. Overall
• Low retention rate
• Inconsistent training
• No standardized and
documented training
method
• No verification process
• Information is front
loaded during first few
days.
44

45. How Do We Close The Gap?
1) Identify and develop the core skills of safety that
consistently teach the best and safest method to perform a
task
2) Build a team of technical experts to close the gap.
3) Add specific details to the core skills to assure training is
thorough and consistent.
4) Design the training in a way to maximize retention
• Ex. Demonstrate the skill, have the new hire demonstrate
comprehension.
• “Kinesthetic” or hands on style of training
• Eliminate lecture style of training.
(only 10% is retained)
45

46. Closing the Gap cont.
5) Create a written and practical
exam to verify new employee has
retained the skills taught to him/her
• An exam is created for each skill
block
• Completed about a week after
the trainee and trainer have
signed off on the skill block.
• A cumulative exam is used to
verify overall competency which
he must pass before being
released from probation
