Resource helps employers keep their newest employees safe
SFM’s new Safety Orientation Success Guide helps employers protect a group at high risk for work injuries: new employees.
According to SFM claim data, employees are at higher risk for injuries during their first six months on the job. Policyholders often tell us that training new employees to prevent injuries is challenging.
To provide additional resources for employers, the loss prevention team developed a step-by-step guide for policyholders.
A valuable tool to educate and help reduce job injuries
The Safety Orientation Success Guide offers valuable information that can be used in many industries. Here is a sample of what’s included:
- Actions employers can take to lower new employee injury risk
- Guidance about return on investment (ROI) of training
- Assessing hazards
- Training methods
- Lifecycle of training – including initial general safety, job-specific safety, and ongoing training
- Safety Training Checklist
SFM also has a library of helpful safety resources to use for training in multiple industries, and many of the industry-specific resources can be found in one place on the employee safety orientation page of sfmic.com.
Partners in safety
The Safety Orientation Success Guide is the second in a series of resources (see also the Safety Committee Success Guide) designed by SFM’s loss prevention team to help policyholders make their workplaces safer.
