A comprehensive workplace safety program needs to include training.
According to OSHA, topics in an effective safety training course include:
- How to identify the safety and health problems at a workplace;
- How to analyze the causes of these safety and health problems;
- How to bring about safer, healthier workplaces; and
- How to involve co-workers in accomplishing all the above
Quality safety and health training helps prevent work-related injuries and illnesses. Effective training also encourages workers by educating and empowering them to advocate for safer working conditions.
ECG’s training programs are:
Accurate, because ECG’s safety training materials prepared by a Certified Industrial Hygienist
Credible, since ECG’s safety trainers have over 20 years of experience
Clear,
because our training programs are tailored to the audience. The training materials are written in the language and grammar of the everyday speech of the participants.
Practical, since we present safety information, ideas, and skills that participants see as directly useful in their working lives. ECG believes that successful transfer of learning occurs when the participant can see how information presented in a training session can be applied in the workplace.
Prior to the actual training, ECG can speak with your safety manager. This no-cost pre-training meeting represents a “needs assessment.” The assessment is conducted to ensure that the training meets the needs of the participants and addresses the issues outlined in the company’s safety plan.
To discuss a no-cost, pre-training needs assessment, please call an ECG Certified Industrial Hygienist at
