Objective
Safety at work depends upon the coordination of technology, organization and human effort in executing tasks which carry an element of danger. For this reason, it is not enough to further improve technical protection measures or tighten up the administrative provisions designed to avoid potential hazards. Ways and means must also be devised or improved upon to enable employees to control their own safety on a reliable basis through appropriate training.
One means of achieving this goal is regular training within the firm. Education concerning the hazards involved in the work process and how to deal with them has a role to play in work safety whose importance should not be underestimated, but which is often insufficiently exploited. While it is difficult to produce figures to support this, it is an established fact that many cases of operating failure, accident and personal injury could be avoided by timely and targeted instruction of employees.
Training means measures directed at individuals with the aim of influencing their behaviour. A comparison between existing levels of training and the level of skills being aimed at gives an idea of the overall and individual training needs in this sphere. Experience has shown that the need for training is particularly pressing among certain groups. Newcomers, for instance, need to be given detailed information concerning technical equipment, production processes, hazards throughout the plant (eg on the roads) and effective protective measures, and also about the industrial safety system most relevant to them within the company.
Workers from outside firms, employed on loan or for one-off contracts, must also be treated as a special category in this respect.
