Health and Safety Training – A Safer Workplace for Everyone

Health and Safety Training – A Safer Workplace for Everyone

By Renu Rohila

Be it our homes or workplaces, accidents and health hazards are commonplace. Health and Safety Training is essential as it will minimize the chances of several mishaps and unexpected accidents. At workplaces, employers must impart this training to employees, especially workers involved in mill and heavy machinery factories.

Accidents most often occur due to human negligence and carelessness. Ignorance, with regard to proper handling of machines or equipment, can also lead to severe accidents. Your employees can claim accident compensations on grounds of unsafe working conditions. Accident compensations can be huge. Besides, accident injury cases can also harm your company’s reputation.

Health and Safety Training is therefore of utmost importance, not just for avoidance of unwanted mishaps, but also because your employee’s safety should be your prime concern.

Factories workers need complete training of safety and health programs. Without them, workers will not know how to handle situations at workplaces. A complete understanding of how factory machines and equipments work will not only ensure safety of people handling them, but also increase work productivity.

It is important under these following circumstances:

To the new recruits on how to handle machines and equipments.

Following introduction of new or advanced machinery.

Following introduction of repaired machinery with added new or advanced mechanics.

In addition to the above, general fire training, special safety training for handling poisonous chemicals, gases, handling of safety equipment, accessories or suits, emergency combat training, etc, should also be imparted.

Fire is the most feared of all calamities at workplaces, and in general. Fire accidents can not only cause mass destruction to your office and factory, but also severely injure people. This training, to avoid fire accidents, is necessary at workplaces and does not only limit to training employees on how to use fire extinguishers. You should be able to devise a fire safety program exclusively for your workplace and it should constitute an important part of your employee health and safety program.

In addition to devising a safety plan, you should also have fire equipment like smoke and fire alarms, water hoses, and extinguishers installed for immediate combat of all fire problems. Professionals should be hired to check, maintain, repair or install electrical connections or equipments. Naked wiring or faulty electrical connections should be checked and removed or fixed.

Assuming that factories will use highly toxic chemicals, special safety training should be imparted to workers on the correct handling of chemicals or liquids. Burns caused from chemical spills cannot only severely harm your employees, but flammable liquids can also cause immediate and huge fire accidents at workplaces.

It can be either hands-on or imparted with the help of training DVDs. Generally, training can be imparted every month as refresher courses or where specialized training is required, regularly or as required.

For more information on health and safety training, check out the info available online; these will help you learn to find the fire training!
