Injury & Illness Prevention Program
1. Employers assume that new employees know more than they really do—and that common sense will prevent most accidents.2. New employees are often afraid to ask questions.
3. The workplace environment is new to them—they aren’t familiar with its hazards or what to do in an emergency.
4. Employee training for a particular job often focuses on what to do—but neglects training about the job hazards to avoid.
5. Employees do not know enough about hazardous substances in their workplace.
6. New employees do not thoroughly understand the necessity of using required PPE—or how to use it properly.
7. The workplace does not send the message that safety is a high priority. Make sure the abolishment of such reasons of near miss and dangerous occurrences at your safety territorial jurisdictions.
Remember: Protection of human life is of highest priority; our work is never so urgent or so important that we cannot take the time to do it safely.
