Occupational Health and Safety Training: Implications in the Modern Workplace
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page discussion of the importance of well-focused health and safety training programs in the workplace. The author contends that the ever-changing workplace, particularly the evolution toward a more and more high tech environment, make such training even more imperative than it has been in the past. A number of training considerations are explored, particularly the potential shortcoming inherent in a sole reliance on more experienced employees to train the new. The author emphasizes that training is an ever evolving arena and that simple head counts to see who has been trained and who has not is an ineffective and potentially dangerous approach.
