Training in Specific Roles
Some employees have specific roles in the safety and health management system, such as:
- inspecting the workplace for hazards
- conducting safety audits
- selecting and instituting hazard controls
- investigating incidents
These employees must know how to carry out their responsibilities and follow any internal or external procedures. Their training should emphasize how their actions directly impact the effectiveness of the safety and health management system. For example, an employee who is designated to receive reports of hazards must know what to do with those reports and how to respond to them. In many cases, this employee would also need to know who should be assigned responsibility for instituting control measures.
As a safety and health management system evolves, a more formal process may be instituted for determining the training needs of employees responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining the safety and health management system.
