Safety and Environmental Training

Safety and Environmental Training Using Compliance to Improve Your Company Written with an insider's candor, this easy-to-use guide gives practical information on how to implement, develop, or improve employee training programs in compliance with current governmental legislation. It shows how, in actual practice, compliance with training requirements can be designed to improve multiple aspects of a company's operations. Taking a proactive stance, Safety and Environmental Training is the only reference of its kind which demonstrates proven methods on how managers can incorporate regulatory compliance into everyday work routines so that it becomes a logical, effective, and positive force in the workplace. Virtually all of the OSHA and EPA regulations impacting industrial safety and environmental health contain employee training requirements. The training task usually falls into the laps of human resource development professionals, safety engineers, and environmental managers, who often lack a full understanding of the safety and environmental regulations that they are supposed to implement.
This book presents a practical approach to employee safety and environmental training that aids managers in improving operations while meeting the training requirements of many of the hazardous materials, protective equipment, hazardous waste, and pollution prevention regulations which impact both business and industry. Training expert Dawn Baldwin provides a self-teaching guide that lets readers develop, implement, or improve employee training programs. Very often a demonstration example will show how training can be accomplished during regular production operations, and incorporated into standard operating procedures, which makes the message all the more relevant and meaningful to employees. While there are a number of training books available, none presents safety and environmental training information in a more candid or informative light.
