Safety Training
Required Safety Training
- Many OR-OSHA, DEQ, and DOT regulations require the safety training of employees if they perform certain functions, or work in certain environments. These regulations also require that this training be documented and a training file be maintained. It is the responsibility of supervisors to identify the types of safety training required for each of their employees and to see that this training is provided. This required safety training can be divided into 1) initial employee training at the time of hire, and 2) job-specific training throughout the period of employment. Safety training can be provided by supervisors, EH&S or other OSU personnel, or by an approved outside training provider.
Safety Training Sources
- Supervisors can give initial safety training for their new employees by using the "Acknowledgement of Safety Rules Emergency Procedures and Hazard Communication" form in combination with Safety Rules section of the "OSU Safety Procedures" Manual (section 10), and the OSU booklet "Working Safely with Hazardous Materials: A Handbook for Employees". To assist supervisors in identifying the required job-specific safety training, the "OSU Safety Training Identification Worksheet" has been developed (page 2). This matrix includes: prompters that indicate if an employee needs any of the required job specific training; codes listed in parentheses ( ) next to each item which indicate the training programs available and options for obtaining the training; and an asterisk (*) if the training should be repeated annually. The form has been designed to be used in the following manner:
- Use one form per employee.
- Supervisor reviews the form's questions and makes a check in the space to the right of the prompter.
- For all checked items, supervisor looks in the ( ) for a code number that corresponds to training program available through EH&S.
- A separate list describes the training program that corresponds to the codes found in the ( ).
- Supervisor contacts EH&S; training programs and video equipment will be provided at no charge.
- When employee receives the needed training the date can be entered on the form.
- This form is designed to be kept in the employee's file.
Record Keeping
- Documentation and record keeping is an important element of the training process. A tracking system should be used to record safety training. Forms shown below have been developed by EH&S to aid in this process. These forms need to be filled out and kept in departmental records. It is the supervisor's responsibility to document all safety training. It is important to capture all the information requested on the form for each training session.
