How’s your ladder safety training at work?
A little boring? Go on, you can be honest with us….
If so, this ladder safety training game might help pick things up a bit.
The game is kind of like the TV show Wheel of Fortune, except it’s based on ladders and ladder safety. Why didn’t someone think of that earlier?
Respirators. Respiratory protection. Respiratory protection safety training.
Important stuff in some workplaces. Lifesaving, even.
But, to be honest, not exactly fun stuff. At least not usually.
And that’s why we’ve put together this respiratory protection training game for you.
It puts at least a little more fun into respiratory protection training. Give it a shot and see what you think.
Need to train your workers on machine guarding?
If so, are you looking for a way to add a little touch of fun to the proceedings?
This fun machine guarding training game may be just what you’re looking for, then.
It’s kind of like the word games you see on the TV show Wheel of Fortune, except it’s all about machine guarding. If you’re a safety manager, you’ve got to love that!
A good forklift training program should have a lot of elements.
Obviously, the operating demonstration and evaluation is critical, but you can do more than that.
For example, a fun little word game like this one might be a good way to introduce some terms to new employees, or to test their knowledge after some instructor-training, or as a quick refresher six months down the road.
Whatever you choose to do with this–hey, maybe it would be fun during a safety meeting or a toolbox talk?–we hope you enjoy it.
Stay safe, friends!
Scaffolds are hazardous and workers get hurt on them–or worse, get hurt when falling from them.
Given that, it makes sense to train employees to work on, with, and near scaffolds safely. And it makes sense to train them in a variety of ways.
One thing you can do to add a little fun to the training is to let your employees play this scaffolds training game. You may even give it a shot yourself!
It’s basically the same thing as the games on TV’s Wheel of Fortune, except (1) there’s no Vanna White and (2) it’s about scaffolds.
Have a fun time with this!
Getting hired and starting a new gig is exciting. We’ve all been there. New opportunities open. New, exciting challenges present themselves.
But it can also be stressful, intimidating, and even a bit overwhelming. There’s a lot to learn in a hurry, and some new hires are starting at ground zero.
Fortunately, there’s a lot that managers, supervisors, bosses, and coworkers can do to help the new employee. Frankly, just saying “hi” and “welcome,” introducing yourself, and offering any help if needed are good places to start.
In addition, a comprehensive new employee onboarding program is a great start. This can include explaining the company mission statement, values, and culture; explaining general policies, like vacation time and sick days; getting the new employee together with his or her new manager; setting expectations with the employee and learning more about his or her own career goals; and more.
Part of that onboarding can begin the process of teaching the new worker his or her new job, including the tasks and responsibiities he or she will have to perform.
And part of that will be providing new employee safety onboarding to keep the new worker, and everyone else, safe on the job. In an earlier article, we looked at how a learning management system, or LMS, can help with that new employee safety onboarding process. In this article, we’ll look at how online safety training courses can help, too.
Curious about online safety training but not sure how you can use it at your workplace?
That’s not unusual.
In this article, we’ve listed eleven easy ways for you to take advantage of online safety training as part of your overall safety training program at work. And it wasn’t hard to make the list! Plus, there are more reasons, too–we invite you to add your own ideas at the bottom of this article. What’s worked well for you?

We’re always excited to work together with a professional safety organization like the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), and so we’re excited and honored to have written an article for their Professional Safety magazine (gated-must be an ASSE member).
Thanks to Tim Fisher, Standards Development and Technical Services, for recommending us to the Professional Safety staff, and to Sue Trebswether, Editor/Manager at Professional Safety, for all the hard work and good cheer.
Go here to read the magazine and our article. Remember, you’ve got to be an ASSE member, but that starts at only $150/year, and that $150 pays for many, many benefits. It’s a safety bargain to be sure.
But don’t rush away too quickly! We’ve got a series of ASSE-related materials that we’ve created for you below, plus a free 60-page Guide to Effective Safety Training you can download and some more cool safety training stuff.
It’s all below the MORE button, just waiting for you.
And stay tuned to Professional Safety, as this is the first in a multi-article series on safety training that we’re writing for the magazine. Our next article will appear in their January, 2017 issue, and we’ll have articles in their March, May, July, September, November, and January (2018) issues as well. So get in here, at the ground floor, and settle in for the long haul with us! 🙂
We’ll be exhibiting at this year’s Western Pulp, Paper and Forest Products Safety & Health conference this year. And as a bonus, we’ll also be leading a presentation on Effective Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Training.
The conference begins on Tuesday, November 29 and runs through Friday, December 2.
Brian Andrewjeski will be at the booth saying hi, demonstrating our products, and answering any questions. You can send Brian emails in advance here.
Jeff Dalto will be giving a presentation Effective Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Training. You can send send Jeff emails in advance here.
Have you ever wondered how to add an online training element to your forklift safety training program? Been curious about online forklift safety training and how to use it?
Or have you maybe ever wondered if it’s even allowed? Hint: it is.
In this article, we’re going to give a quick overview of the OSHA training requirements for forklift operators, and then we’ll give you some tips for using online forklift safety training materials as part of a blended learning program.
Let us know if you have any questions–the comments section is at the bottom.
Also, just an FYI–we’ll be focusing on the 1910/General Industry Powered Industrial Trucks training regulations.
And if this blog post isn’t enough for you, check out our Powered Industrial Trucks Training Materials post, which has free word games, an interactive PIT glossary, an extensive PIT FAQ, and more! Wow!

But let’s get on with how to create a forklift operator training program that includes online forklift safety training.
This is one in a series of articles about occupational health and safety management systems, or OHSMS. It’s based on the ANSI/ASS Z10 standard, which we encourage you to buy.
In this article, we’re going to take an extended look at Section 4, which is all about planning an OHSMS. That includes reviews, both initial and ongoing; assessments and prioritization of tasks; objectives; implantation plans; and allocation of resources.
In the sections below, we’ll link you to all of the articles in this series, but for now, we’ll dive right into this one.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration, more commonly known as MSHA, just held their annual Training Resources Applied to Mining conference, more commonly known as TRAM. (I am not sure I knew what TRAM stood for before today–how about you?)
We exhibited at TRAM and our intrepid Sales Account Manager Valerie Cantrell gave a presentation on how to use blended learning, including online learning activities, for mining safety training and MSHA compliance.
