A
new understanding of safety is required
at all levels of management from the
CEO to the line supervisor. Safety
performance is included as part of
a site supervisor's overall job evaluation.
As a result, today's supervisor must
become proficient in three skill areas:
1. Learn to recognize hazards
2. Learn to control the hazards to
prevent injuries, illness, and property
damage
3. Learn to use effective communication
skills
The
supervisor, as a member of the company's
management team, shares responsibility
for maintaining a safe, productive
workplace. He or she must communicate
and enforce rules and procedures,
train workers, and represent the interests
of both the organization and employees.
The supervisor must constantly watch
over and inspect both the workplace
and work procedures, keeping in mind
the three E's of safety: Engineering,
Education, and Enforcement. It is
the supervisor's job to work with
safety and health professionals, designers,
engineers, maintenance, and personnel
staff to engineer as many hazards
out of the workplace as possible,
to educate employees in safe work
practices and procedures, and to enforce
all safety rules and policies. In
this role, the supervisor acts as
investigator, safety researcher, and
advocate.
This
course is designed for Site Supervisors
and others who manage hazardous material
site workers. This information will
provide supervisors and managers specific
information in order to properly supervise
workers, perform accident investigations,
and oversee other site activities.
This training meets the requirements
outlined in paragraph "e"
of 29 CFR 1910.120.
The
overall objective of this course is
to provide training and certification
to individuals who act in a supervisory
role at controlled sites as defined
under 29 CFR 1910.120(e).
After

Course, you will be able to:
1. Apply the requirements of a site
safety plan to a working environment.
2. Examine the elements of a spill
containment program.
3. Determine the need for and the
level of personnel protective equipment
programs in a variety of situations.
4. Develop health hazard monitoring
techniques and procedures for real
world situations.
5. Revise current employee training
programs and techniques.
6. Formulate record keeping and site
documentation requirements.
After

and managers will possess the basic
skills to implement an organizational
health and safety program.
