INTRODUCTION

What are workplace hazards? The answer to this question may seem obvious, but seemingly obvious hazards can be easily overlooked. Many workplaces contain hazardous materials including raw materials (wood, metal, plastic) to be manufactured into finished goods, and toxic chemicals (solvents, acids, bases, detergents) used at various stages of the process. As an employee, being aware of these hazards is important to ensure your safety. There can be many hazards in the workplace, and being able to identify these hazards can help prevent accidental injury or illness.

This training is geared towards maintenance staff who need a general awareness of some of the hazards that are present. This does not include the regulatory requirements to meet the standards for specific topics (e.g. Forklift, Arc Flash, etc.), but is meant to serve as an introduction to the safety procedures one should follow in a maintenance role. Depending on the role of your employees, this course can be scaled to fit your needs.
