Safety Training Pays Off Every Minute

With millions of job-related accidents annually, someone is injured on the job in the United States about every 8 seconds.

Most injuries are minor, and workers soon recover. However, some are permanent and heartbreaking—loss of sight or hearing, amputated fingers, toes, or hands, paralysis—injuries that can ruin a person’s life.

In addition to being a crippler, a serious injury snatches money out of a worker’s wallet because disability income is less than full salary. And a disabling injury can mean permanent reduction in earning power or a complete loss of pay if the worker can never be able to perform the same job again.

Paint a Safer Picture

As dark as that picture is, inattention to workplace safety training can paint a darker one still—every day 15 American workers die from work-related injuries or illness.

This grim fact touches not only the victim. What about the consequences for others? On-the-job injury, illness, and death weave a web of grief and anger. The web snares families trying to cope with their losses as well as co-workers experiencing a loss of confidence in management that allowed the accident to happen.

Once goodwill is gone, morale may slip, resulting in a loss of productivity, increased turnover, and eventually an impact on the bottom line.

The best way to handle accidents on the job is not to let them happen in the first place. And the best way to do that is through effective, comprehensive, and ongoing safety and health training for all employees.

Ready-to-Use Training

It’s no exaggeration to say that safety training pays off every minute—and keeps paying off day after day.

That’s certainly true of the OSHA Training System. As the name implies, this complete training system is specially designed to meet your full safety and health training needs. All the materials are prepared in advance, so no prep time is required. All you do is reproduce what you need and put it to use. Materials include:

• 32 complete safety units, meeting every key OSHA standard. Each includes full background for trainers, a ready-to-use safety meeting, and follow-up handouts. View a Table of Contents.
• Quizzes, handouts, and copies of 27 different employee booklets, coordinated to the safety meetings. (Booklets can be bought in any quantity at a discount.)
• A complete training recordkeeping and tracking system that tells you which employees need what training, and then tracks your program to ensure they get it.

Quarterly updates, included with the program. You receive at least 4 new safety units every 90 days, covering new OSHA standards and training needs.

If you share the common problem of never having enough time or the right materials for training, we’d suggest you examine the OSHA Training System program. We’ve arranged for you to do so for up to 30 days at no cost or risk. Just let us know and we’ll be happy to make all the arrangements.
