Keep Workplace Safety Resolutions the Entire Year with New Training Courses

Most people have probably already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. So in the spirit of it still being relatively early in 2014, Mastery Technologies wants to help organizations initiate and keep a resolution to promote and maintain a safer workplace.  In doing so, we’ve recently released 11 new course titles from content provider ERI Safety Videos.  Each video covers specific safety topics to encourage workers to take responsibility in following safety precautions and procedures in the work environment.  The new course titles are:

• Job Safety Analysis, Safety Awareness and You [English and Spanish]: this course promotes understanding and awareness of hazards in the workplace in order for them to be controlled
• PPE: Your Last Layer of Protection [English and Spanish]:  covers types of personal protective equipment typically used in a variety of industries
• Making Safety Work: An Overview of Workplace Safety and Employee Responsibilities [English and Spanish]:  this course provides an overview of common workplace hazards and learn how they can be controlled while also proving the need for employee participation and commitment to safety
• Good Housekeeping: Everyone’s Responsibility [English and Spanish]:  reviews basic housekeeping practices, that can prevent workplace fires and other hazards that can lead to injury, but can be avoided when everyone participates in good housekeeping
• Forklift Safety Lessons for the Safe Pedestrian [English and Spanish]:  shows that forklifts and people need to work as a team in order to keep a safe workplace

• Back to Work, Back to Safety: Reestablishing Safety Habits after the Time Away [English and Spanish]: explains how skills can erode over a short amount of time, and can cause a worker to lose good safety habits developed.  The course shows that when you come back to work, you must come back safely and review proper procedures
• Move it Safely: Avoiding Injuries While Handling Materials:  shows that in order to move materials safely, workers must have a good attitude of injury prevention rather than a get the job done fast mind-set

These ERI courses are great to replace older titles employees may have previously viewed.  They depict realistic and up-to-date scenarios to promote total comprehension and awareness in specific areas of safety. The 11 new courses are great editions to our already extensive course library, reiterating the importance of workplace safety and proper training.
