Safety Training May Be the Difference Between Life and Death

Case studies provide real-life examples of why it is important for learners to complete safety training and apply that knowledge back on the job. Let’s look at a few.

In the month of June alone, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued statements regarding citations to five companies where training might have helped save a worker’s life.

We looked at the first two yesterday. Here are the other three:

  1. Penalties totaling $116,200 were proposed against a sawmill in Timpson, Texas, stemming from a December incident in which a worker was killed after being struck by a broken band saw blade. The 17 alleged safety violations include failure to provide easily understood lockout/tagout training for energy control, as well as to certify that energy-control training was completed and current.
  2. Among other things, OSHA cited a trucking company in Ross, North Dakota, for failing to train workers on chemical hazards and precautions after a worker was fatally injured on March 27 while cleaning the inside of a crude oil tanker that exploded.
  3. OSHA also cited a tool and die company for 17 safety violations, including lack of training, after a maintenance worker was electrocuted on March 6 in Fenton, Missouri.

Each company had 15 days to comply with the citations, request a conference, or contest the citations and penalties.

The Power of PowerPoint

Training is essential for the safety of employees, so you can’t afford to lose them or confuse them. Because of their visual impact, PowerPoint training sessions can be especially effective. Training experts say that employees remember more of what they hear and see than they do of what they just hear. What employees don’t learn about safety in training sessions, they can’t apply on the job—and that’s dangerous. So learn to use PowerPoint software to conduct powerful safety training sessions that change the way your employees do their jobs—for the better.

Safety Training Presentations gets you off to a good start with 25 core PowerPointsafety presentations, each one responsive to either an OSHA training requirement or to common causes of workplace accidents. All are customizable, so you can add your specific hazards or safety policies.

The word Presentations in the program name is plural for 25 reasons: There are 25 separate PowerPoint prewritten safety meetings, every one responsive to either an OSHA training requirement or the topic that is a key cause of accidents. All are customizable so you can add your specific hazards or safety policies. There are Safety Training Presentations on:

  • 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, each presents 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.
