Ensure safety at work: Training is a must in 2020

Safety is important for economic reasons: When an employee is involved in an accident, you spend money through lost production and absenteeism. Safety training is important so workers and managers know the hazards which cause these things.

Working safely eliminates that injury and promotes greater production. This saves you money through a sustained safe work environment every day.

Why is this workplace safety training important?

Safety training provides employers, managers, supervisors, and workers with:

• Knowledge and skills needed to do their work safely and avoid creating hazards that could place themselves or others at risk.
• Awareness and understanding of workplace hazards and how to identify, report, and control them.
• Specialized training when their work involves unique hazards.

Additional training may be needed depending on various roles assigned to individual managers, supervisors, and workers. Supervisory staff, for example, may need specific training to ensure that they can provide leadership, direction, and resources for the safety program.
