Hazard Recognition Training – [Complete Safety Video Kit]

When it comes to workplace safety, one of the key skills we can teach employees is how to recognize hazards.  By always scanning their work area for workplace hazards, many accidents and injuries can be avoided.  This Hazard Recognition Training Video will teach your employees how to do just that.

Hazard Recognition Training – Course Covers These Areas:

• How does the number of hazards within a work area affect the ultimate number of injuries that will occur? (as hazard count rises, so does the number of injuries.  These two numbers are correlated)
• As we recognize, identify, control, or eliminate hazards, any job site will have fewer accidents, injuries, and fatalities
• What are some tips and tricks employees can use to identify hazards in their work areas?
• What are the different types of hazards that are common to most workplaces?
  1. Physical Hazards – like machines or tools that can cut, crush, or burn you
  2. Ergonomics Hazards – such as tasks that require frequent lifting, repetitive motions, or awkward movements
  3. Chemical Hazards – items like flammable substances, cleaning solutions, fumes, and pesticides, to name a few
  4. Biological Hazards – including bacteria, mold, viruses, parasites, etc.
• Identifying the hazards listed above can help employees determine how recognizing hazards can help them determine the best personal protective equipment, engineering controls, or other safeguards to put in place to elimitate or reduce injuries.

Hazard Identification – What Employees Need to Know:

• What happens when you combine a hazardous condition with an unsafe act?
• What are some examples of hazardous conditions combined with unsafe acts? (cutting corners on safety when you are in a hurry, such as removing the guards from a machine, improperly using a tool, etc.)
• What role does “luck” play when it comes to workplace safety? (Mostly none…..reducing potential hazards in the workplace reduces the number of “chances” someone gets injured – it’s simple math)
• What is a “hazard pyramid” and what does it teach us about hazard identification and control?
• What is a job hazard analysis and how should it be implemented on the job to reduce hazards and resulting accidents or injuries?
• What is the role of a pre-shift inspection when it comes to safety and keeping employees safe on the job?

Identifying Workplace Hazards – Key Concepts Taught:

• What should the protocol be when an employee sees a hazard on the job? (if the employee can correct the hazard on their own, they should report the issue to the supervisor and, finally, warn their co-workers about the hazard so they can avoid it too)
• Sometimes, we don’t recognize hazards until after an injury has occurred. We learn from this by examining how the accident occurred and implementing measures to correct the hazard.
• What is the connection between the number of hazards on a job site, and the number of injuries that might occur?
• Why is it important to identify hazards and teach our employees hazard identification techiques?
• How to identify the root causes of an incident, injury, or accident
• and much more

Teaching your employees Hazard Recognition skills will help ensure a safer workplace. This is good for both the employee and the employer. The employee has the best chance of going home to their family without injury. For the employer, this training helps ensure Regulatory Compliance, fewer workplace injuries, and safe work practices. It truly is a win-win.
