12. Repetitive Instruction The company should take care, that the employees are instructed Before starting the work At changes of the working environment After accidents At introduction of new equipment or processes The instructions must be regularly repeated, at least 1 time per year. Toolbox-Meetings are short instruction meetings. They are refresher courses and have to be updated. Most of the accidents are caused by wrong behaviour. Therefore the behaviour of the employees must be permanently trained. Major goal of the training is: recognition of danger of safety and life and initiation of the relevant protection measures.

13. Repeated Instructions • Instruction on working safety is carried out in a personal talk. Basis are the instruction rules of the operation handbook.The handout of a flyer is not sufficient. The understanding must be permantently checked. Exercises or tests can be included. • A successful instruction includes • active participation of the trainees • happens on site • focusses on relevant dangers • explains the relevant protection measures • It makes sense to give information on content, participants, duration of the instruction and to ask for signature after instruction. Therefore a instruction document should be prepared and stored with other operational documentation. • .
