Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Safety training should begin during new employee orientation to ensure that all employees have the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely. Waiting until after an accident or injury could result in unnecessary harm to employees and damage to the company's reputation. Providing safety training before workers return to work after an accident or injury is also important, but it should not be the only time that safety training is provided. The supervisor should ensure that all employees have completed the required safety training and should not have discretion in this matter.
