Workplace Safety Basics - DVD Training

High-level overview of many important safety topics for the workplace. Online preview available. English & Spanish available all in one program.

Workplace safety is a shared responsibility between employers and their employees. Under the General Duty Clause, (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act of 1970,) OSHA requires the employer to provide a safe environment for their employees. However, each employee needs to be aware of the potential hazards they may be exposed to, take action to avoid or eliminate them, and report hazards/unsafe conditions as they arise.

This program is designed to provide learners with a high-level overview of a number of workplace safety topics and safety tips. It allows you to deliver effective and consistent safety orientation training, helping reduce costly incidents, injuries, damages, and turnover, while boosting productivity and morale. Specifically, the training covers an introduction to generic safe work practices, various engineering controls, the safe use of tools and equipment, and procedures for what to do in the event an emergency occurs.
