Planning a Safety Training
The key to a complete and successful program is planning. The person presenting the program must be knowledgeable about the regulations and be able to relate how the regulations and safety policies relate to the work place. Using a video alone without access to a knowledgeable person to answer questions is a violation of the regulations. This check list will be helpful to the safety officer when preparing a program for the facility.
