Safety Orientation

Thinking about safety should be as natural as thinking about other aspects of the job. Employees should be able to anticipate the possibility of accidents before they happen. Yet workplace accidents cause millions of people to suffer painful injuries every year, and cost business almost $90 billion per year in medical bills, lost wages and lost production time.

• Developing "safety awareness".
• Basics of accident prevention.
• Hazard evaluation.
• Safety housekeeping.
• Tool use and maintenance.
