Health & Safety Training
New Employee Orientation
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this training is to
- Make the employee aware of safety and health hazards of the job and how they relate to the safety of others. It can help reduce the high-risk potential of injuries to young people, new/transferred or re-hired employees, seasonal or temporary employees.
- Help to meet legal requirements. Under the Ontario’s Occupational Health & Safety Act - the employer is required to provide information, instruction and supervision to protect worker’s safety and health.
- Help to reduce anxiety and stress experienced in a new or changed working environment/situation.
- Help to balance company needs for productivity with individual needs for self-esteem, safety and security.
- Help to make introduction of new, transferred or re-hired employees more efficient.
Why this training came into effect
New employees (transferred, re-hired, seasonal, etc.) have different training needs. This Health and Safety Training will take into account:
- The nature of the job
- Previous work or job experience
- Age - for example, entering the work force for the first time
- Qualifications
- Previous training within the company (in case of transferred employees)
