Safety Training: Help Your Supervisors Understand – and Execute - Their Critical Role
Safety Training Webinar Recording
Your supervisors are a critical component of your safety program. After all, they have the most direct involvement with both your employees and your day-to-day operations.
But safety training for supervisors is often overlooked, even at companies that provide supervisors with extensive training in other areas, such as quality control and productivity. This oversight is a mistake – smart safety supervision requires thorough tools and ongoing instruction.
How can you help your supervisors do a better job at “supervising safety”? Tune in to our informative webinar on July 12 and find out.
You’ll learn:
- What OSHA expects of your supervisors
- Why a formal process of training and educating supervisors in their safety responsibilities is far more effective than an informal - or nonexistent – approach
- How to convince senior management to provide support for a formal training process
- Why a “coach/mentor” approach is superior to a “cop” approach and will yield better long-term results
- How to develop a supervisory safety process curriculum, and what topics to include
- How to help and support supervisors with “supervising safety”
- Tips for incorporating elements such as safety meetings, inspections, and pre-shift preparations into your program
- The best way to respond to safety infractions
- How your supervisors can learn to lead by example in the safety realm
- Suggestions for coaching your supervisors on providing routine, constructive information and feedback to crew members
- Why your supervisors are critical in handling OSHA inspections and defending against OSHA citations
