Start the Year with Effective Safety Training for Your Employees

January is the perfect time to ensure that your Safety and OSHA compliance training is up to date. Just like changing the batteries in smoke and fire detectors, make it a January tradition to refresh your training. Here are a few ideas to help make it easier and more effective:

• Relevance is key: Ensure that the training you provide is tailored to the specific work your employees perform. Generic or irrelevant training is a waste of time and won’t equip employees with the knowledge they need to protect themselves from hazards throughout the year.
• Choose the right training solution: Explore different options and select the one that works best for your organization. There are various options available, such as outside classroom training, in-house classroom training, and online training. Each has its pros and cons, so choose the one that fits your needs and resources.
• Prioritize quality over quantity: It’s not about the number of hours spent on training; it’s about the knowledge and skills employees gain. Look for training programs that provide valuable and practical information. The effectiveness of the training matters more than the time spent on it.

By following these ideas, your first-of-the-year training will go a long way in safeguarding your employees and company from workplace hazards.

If you are using our OWYN Safety Management Platform for your Safety Program, take advantage of the online and in-house classroom training options available. These resources are included in your service at no additional cost, regardless of the number of employees you need to train.

Start the year right by prioritizing your employees’ safety through relevant, well-chosen, and effective training.
