3 Keys to Safety Training
1. Education
Safety is a very important part of building our business and to the professional growth of our team. Most of the time, people do not break the safety rules because they don’t care. It’s usually because they don’t know the rules or how they are applied. Both of those issues can be solved with training.
2. Implementation
Whether it be through E-Learning, a classroom environment, or even a visit to the job site for a 15-minute safety meeting, safety training can help immensely in building a culture of safe work practices. Stay in the good graces of OSHA, insurance companies and your clients with:
OSHA 10 for Team Members
OSHA 30 for the Foremen
First AID/CPR Training
Competent Person Training
3. Enforcement
Safety is a trickle-down effect. When upper management cares about safety and invests time and money into their people, it shows they really do care about their workers. Superintendents and Foremen will then care about those practices and enforce that knowledge on their job sites. Most importantly the people we all rely on who actually get the job done will appreciate the time, effort and money we spend to give them the tools and knowledge they need to succeed and go home safely every night. That is where the real return on your investment comes in.
IN SUMMARY
Together, these three elements are vital to creating a safe workplace. Utilizing them in our day-to-day work practices is a cornerstone for our success at Venus Construction.
