3D Process: Deploy
Educate and Train
After the development phase is completed, deploy the completed CSMS plan so that everyone has it and can take action.
The third phase in the 3D process is to deploy the CSMS to all sites.
However, to make sure everyone understands the CSMS, educate them first on the components of the CSMS and conduct initial instruction and training on:
- manager and supervisor leadership responsibilities
- train-the-trainer topics for those who will be conducting safety training
- technical hands-on-how-to on-the-job training (OJT) for employees
After completing the training, make sure it is properly documented. Remember, as far as OSHA is concerned, "if it isn't in writing, it probably didn't get done." Once training is completed, it's time to officially deploy the CSMS.
To make sure the training was successful, do the following:
- Get feedback from everyone on the success of the deployment.
- Analyze and evaluate the quality within a year.
- Make necessary improvements in training not meeting performance standards.
