The theme for this year’s NAOSH Week is “Worker safety works for everyone.” Join companies across North America and the world in renewing your commitment to safety training and safety enforcement this week.
Remind employees that following safety rules all the time is the most effective way to stay safe. Some examples of general rules that workers need to follow all the time are:
- Walk, don’t run.
- Obey all safety signs.
- Practice good housekeeping, including keeping aisles and stairs clear, disposing of trash promptly and properly, keeping tools and materials in their places, cleaning up spills promptly.
- Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) where required, including hearing protection, safety glasses, gloves, and safety shoes, even if just passing through a PPE-required area.
- Report all accidents and near misses promptly.
- Don’t fool around.
All the safety training you need in one program: 25 subjects, one low price. It’s BLR’s Safety Training Presentations. Try it out and get a Free Special Report. Get the details.
- Practice good hygiene, including keeping food and beverages out of work areas and washing up thoroughly after removing PPE and before eating, drinking, and smoking.
- Use electricity safely, including matching plugs and outlets, avoiding use of extension cords, and following lockout/tagout rules for electrical equipment maintenance and repair.
- Know what to do and whom to contact in an emergency.
Customize your training overview to the specifics of your workplace. And, above all, reinforce the importance your organization places on safety and the importance of the role each worker plays in workplace safety.

Who Has the Time to Do It?
All this presupposes, of course, that you’re working with top-notch training materials.
For trainers forced to make their own, this is a roadblock. Most don’t have the time to create truly professional presentations.
If you fall into this category (and who doesn’t?), we’d suggest a look at BLR’s Safety Training Presentations program. It’s an amazing tool that provides ready-to-use safety materials for a wide range of common topics, at a very attractive price per session.
The word “Presentations” in the program name is a plural for 25 reasons: There are 25 separate PowerPoint prewritten safety meetings, every one responsive to either an OSHA training requirement or because the topic is a key cause of accidents. All are customizable so you can add your specific hazards or safety policies. Topics covered include:
- Back Safety
- Bloodborne Pathogens
- Electrical Safety
- Emergency Action
- Ergonomics
- Fire Prevention
- PPE
- Welding/Cutting/Brazing
- Portable Power Tool Safety
- Scaffolds
- Hazard Communication
- Lockout/Tagout
- Forklift Operator Safety
- Confined Space Safety
- Fall Protection
- Respiratory Protection
Each lesson also includes interactive exercises, quizzes, completion certificates, sign-in sheets, evaluation forms, and training records. In short, everything you need to motivate, reinforce, retain, and transfer new knowledge, and document that you did. You can see samples of some of the materials by clicking on the links below.
Of course, training needs change as OSHA introduces new requirements or new work practices and technology bring new hazards. To cover this, you receive a new CD every 90 days you’re in the program, each containing five additional topics. Just as important, for those on a budget (and who isn’t these days?), the cost of these presentations averages under $20 each.
We’ve arranged for Advisor subscribers to get a no-cost, no-obligation look at Safety Training Presentations for 30 days. Feel free to try a few lessons with your own trainees. Click here and we’ll be glad to arrange it.

Give Safety a Hand
Hand safety is certainly important in and of itself. But trainers also need to give a hand to eye and face safety, foot safety, hearing protection, and all other safety concerns. And BLR is here to help! We’re constantly looking for ways to provide you with easy-to-use safety training materials that can help you give the safety message year-round. This includes using a tool like Safety Training Presentations.

Each lesson also includes completion certificates, sign-in sheets, evaluation forms, and training records. In short, it contains everything you need to motivate, reinforce, retain, and transfer new knowledge—and document that you did so.
