CORESafety Module 4:  
Training and Education

Workers who understand the hazards and risks of their assigned tasks and apply their knowledge and skills are more likely to perform tasks safely and efficiently.

Consequently, education (knowledge) and training (knowing how to apply knowledge) are essential to an effective SHMS.

Training should be a continuous process to routinely develop, update, provide and assess worker abilities.

CORESafety Expectations

• Each company or location must have a training plan that details the amount and type of training required by the role.
• On-the-job training must be conducted for new equipment and provided by certified/competent people.
• Training records must be documented.
• There must be a process for verifying that every operator and maintainer is competent before working without full supervision. People providing training must also be capable of demonstrating competency and authorized to deliver the training.
• New or transferred employees, visitors, contractors and vendors should receive site-based safety and health orientation and other appropriate training before being permitted to work onsite.
• All individuals engaged on a temporary or casual basis to work onsite will be provided the same training and safety and health equipment as employees.
• Maintain an employee orientation program to assimilate new employees.
