What to consider when choosing the most effective environment, health, and safety (EHS) training
- Promote a culture of safety: EHS training fosters a culture where safety is a top priority, and where employees are encouraged to identify and report hazards.
- Comply with regulations: Organizations are subject to a variety of EHS regulations. Training helps to ensure that organizations are complying with these regulations and to avoid fines and penalties.
- Reduce the risk of accidents and injuries: A well-trained workforce is less likely to experience accidents and injuries, which can save organizations time, money, and resources.
- Empower employees: Training provides employees with the knowledge and skills they need to identify and address workplace hazards, report safety concerns, and understand their rights under EHS regulations.
- Strengthen your organization's commitment to safety: Training demonstrates the company's commitment to providing a safe and healthy working environment and to complying with EHS regulations.
- Reduce the risk of OSHA violations and penalties: Training helps to ensure that organizations are complying with OSHA standards and to minimize the risk of fines and penalties.
- Workplace hazards: Training helps employees to identify and understand common workplace hazards, such as:
- Physical hazards: Slips, trips, and falls; working at heights; machinery; electricity; noise; heat; and cold.
- Chemical hazards: Exposure to hazardous substances, such as chemicals, solvents, and dust.
- Biological hazards: Exposure to bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
- Ergonomic hazards: Risks associated with awkward postures, repetitive motions, and forceful exertions.
- Environmental safety topics: Training addresses environmental concerns, including pollution prevention, waste management, and conservation of resources.
- Risk assessment: Training should cover how to conduct risk assessments to identify and evaluate potential hazards.
- Personal protective equipment (PPE): Training should address the proper use, selection, and maintenance of PPE.
- Emergency procedures: Training should cover emergency procedures, including evacuation plans, first aid, and reporting procedures.
- Fire safety: Training should address fire prevention, fire safety equipment, and evacuation procedures.
- Slips, trips, and falls: These are among the most common workplace accidents. They can be prevented by keeping floors clean and dry, providing adequate lighting, and using non-slip mats.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: Chemicals, dusts, fumes, and other substances can pose health risks. Control measures can include using ventilation systems, providing personal protective equipment (PPE), and training employees on safe handling procedures.
- Ergonomic hazards: Awkward postures, repetitive motions, and forceful exertions can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Ergonomic assessments and adjustments to workstations can help to prevent MSDs.
- Workplace violence: Employees may be at risk of violence from customers, clients, or co-workers. Training can help to de-escalate potentially violent situations and to establish procedures for reporting incidents.
