New Employee Safety Orientation

All occupations, even ones that are not typically assigned to dangerous tasks, have certain safety hazards associated with them. For some occupations, the hazards are obvious. For other occupations, however, the hazards may be less apparent. It would be difficult to fully discuss all safety rules and regulations to avoid every danger you could potentially encounter in your job. So, instead, this online interactive course provides a basic overview of safety issues to help improve your safety awareness. These safety issues include safe work habits, which should be part of your daily routine; personal protective equipment, which may be required to maintain your health and safety on the job; hazard communication, which provides vital information about chemicals and other hazards that affect working conditions; and fire safety, which is a critical concern in any workplace.
