WHY IS IT NEEDED ? • To keep new and young workers safe on the job. • And prevent painful and costly work related injuries.
Why focus on young and new workers? • Young workers, are at a much higher risk of injury than other workers. More than half of workplace accidents involving workers aged 15 to 24 occur during their first 6 month on a job: nearly 20 percent occur during the first month. • Young workers generally have less experience in recognizing hazardous situations than older workers. Many are also eager to please and afraid they will look dumb if they ask question, so they take risk that could be avoided. • It’s not just only young workers are getting hurt. starting a new job can be risky for workers of any age, including experienced workers.
1.Provide safety orientation, and train workers on the basics • Rights and responsibilities. • Workplace hazards. • Safe work procedure.
2.Train workers for tasks specific to their jobs. Specifically, you need to train workers in how to: • Perform tasks safely • Operate machines and equipment safely • Use and maintain any required PPE such as gloves or goggles • Follow safe work procedure
3.Provide supervision and ongoing training for all workers to ensure that they continue to work safely. The most important part of training is the follow-up supervision. Adequate supervision includes the following: • Ensure proper instruction and training of workers. • Follow up training with regularly scheduled observation to ensure that workers continue to follow safe work procedures. Document this observation. • Make information inspections on a daily basis to ensure that workers understand and are following safe work procedures, including proper lifting techniques and the use of protective equipment, devices, and clothing. • Enforce safety rules and work procedures. • Conduct informal discussions (crew talks) with workers to discuss specific safety issues as they arise. • Encourage worker feedback.
Important items that the organizer should consider • Provision of information to participants and resource persons (before, during, and following the training session) • Logistical aspects of course preparation and implementation: • Travel arrangements and transportation • Accommodation • Meals and breaks • Social events • Training rooms and infrastructure available • Per diem (Daily Subsistence Allowance) • Equipment, materials and supplies • Name badges • Certificates (Template provided upon request)
Innovative approaches and methods for flexible training delivery • For workers to be able to adapt to the diverse skill needs of rapidly changing labour markets, they will need a greater capacity to learn and develop broader skills as a platform for continuous training, rather than acquiring fixed and narrow technical skills during a single period of training. • To match these needs, a diversified supply of good quality training will have to be available, offering combinations of information and guidance services and interconnected paths of initial training. • Emphasis needs to be placed on competency-based training and the development of competence standards and certification systems for the recognition of the experience and skills acquired in formal and informal training.
In this context, training content and methodologies have to be flexible to increase labour mobility and the employability of new entrants to the labour market and displaced workers. • However, to be in a position to respond to these needs, constituents require greater knowledge of the possible options, combined with assistance in analysing and identifying those that are most appropriate to their specific situation.
