Extracted Content

Maintain detailed records of all training sessions. These records are expected to include attendance, documentation of the topics covered, and noting of the trainers’ certification. Review records to track employee compliance and identify areas for improvement. Worker training must address a well-defined process for reporting safety incidents and unsafe situations. Establishing and communicating the process for safety reporting promotes transparency, addresses issues promptly, and helps to maintain a safe work environment. Offer a variety of training methods to cater to diverse learning preferences. Combining inperson, online, and hands-on training methods increases the likelihood that all workers retain the knowledge required to perform their jobs safely.

For projects involving over 100 full-time employees (FTEs), provide first aid, CPR, and AED training for at least one O+M staff member. Training personnel on-site helps to ensure that immediate assistance can be provided during emergencies, potentially saving lives until medical help arrives.
