Challenges to TrainingChallenges to Training

• Possible language barriers (Latino, Samoan, etc.)• Dedication (employer and

employee-opinion/morale)– Host employer (The water faucet theory or “Not my ee”– Temp employee “They have other assignments for me”

• Temporary employer safety training is usually very generic

• Hazard assessment performed by temporary employers are generally not sufficient to indicate all hazards at host employer sites

• Management using temps for unknown tasks

TrainingTraining

Excerpt from- OSHA Interpretation letter 9/21/2000- – “Although the host employers would, in most

situations, provide the workplace-specific training that is necessary and appropriate for the employees' job assignments and tasks, the temporary agency employer would still have the responsibility to ensure that the employees had been properly trained. Therefore, if a host employer provides any training, the temporary agency employer would have to have a reasonable basis for assessing that the host employer's training is adequate.”

Training- What & HowTraining- What & How

• Training should be specific to the type, size and source of the hazard and or task

• PPE training must be thorough (when, wear, care, limitations, replacement)

• Some training may require classroom and practical (PIT, AWP, Cranes, etc.)

• What- Based on job hazard assessment (JSA)

• Must be in a manner that is understood!

Understood??Understood??WWE- Rey Mysterio video

TrainingTraining

Excerpt from OSHA CPL 2-2.38 (1998)“Furthermore, the training must be comprehensible. If the employees receive job instructions in a language other than English, then the training and information to be conveyed under the HCS (Haz-Com) will also need to be conducted in a foreign language.”

Training- Who & WhenTraining- Who & When

• All employees (temps included)• Some OSHA regs require prior to

assignment (Ex: PIT, AWP, conf space, etc)

• Some require on 1st day (Ex: EAP, Warning signs and tags, right to know, fire ext, etc.)

• Some require refresher (Ex: Hearing cons, Respirator, BBP, fire ext, etc)

Fire ExtinguishersFire Extinguishers

portable fire extinguishers for employee use in the workplace, the employer shall also provide an educational program to familiarize employees with the general principles of fire extinguisher use and the hazards involved with incipient stage fire fighting.
