Arm Your Supervisors For the War Against Safety Violations … with BLR’s Monthly OSHA Required Training for Supervisors!
There’s an old army saying that “generals plan wars, but it’s the sergeants who win them.”
In the war for safe workplaces, those sergeants are your supervisors. They’re the ones on the front lines every day, in direct contact with workers, putting them in the best position to assure safe work practices. That’s why it pays to arm them with every means available to reach the safety goal.
One of the best of those means is BLR’s monthly newsletter, OSHA Required Training for Supervisors.
As its name implies, it focuses on those aspects of safety OSHA has determined you must train on, and does so in a way that supervisors can appreciate … straight, to the point, usable in just a few minutes, and written so anyone can understand.
Here’s what each of your supervisors gets, fresh every month (to see a full year’s content, click here):
--Major Safety Briefing. This lead story concentrates on providing a detailed look at a key safety topic, given in how-to terms, and often tied to the season or date of publication.
Example: One recent summer issue focused on protecting workers from summer’s heat, and offered nine tips to avoid heat stroke, and how-tos on how to handle it if it does occur. Another presented detailed instruction on doing a job analysis, teaching supervisors how to prioritize jobs to check those with the highest risk first (signaled by a large number of ‘near misses’), then how to break down the job so each of its separate hazards could be dealt with. Other recent major briefings:
- OSHA’s Dirty Dozen: What You Most Need to Watch Out For
- Maintain High Standards for Maintenance Workers
- The MSDS: Your One-Stop Resource for Chemical Safety
--7-Minute Safety Talk/Handout. OSHA Required Training for Supervisors presents a ready-to-use safety session in every issue that can be taught directly to workers. It’s already written at a reading level any worker can grasp, and is accompanied by a full-page, full-color, ready-to-reproduce handout to reinforce the learning back at the workstation or jobsite. Some recent safety talks:
- Carbon Monoxide Can Kill Without a Sound
- The Eyes Have It: Protect The Only Pair You’ll Ever Get!
- Let’s Keep This Place Clean – Safely!
- Bang! Bang! Power-Actuated Tools at Work
--Safety-The Human Side. Nothing hammers home the safety message like a strong case study.
