A few reasons to adopt a standard checklist for safety training

As the year is winding down, it’s a good time to reevaluate how your company keeps track of its safety training.

Training checklists can be a supervisor’s best friend. This is where knowledge moves from theory to practice under the guidance of management.

The nice thing about checklists is they help ensure supervisors and new employees don’t miss anything.

Supervisors also can use checklists to keep a hard-copy record of who has completed training on a particular piece of equipment or task.

Once checklists become standard operating procedure for a company, management knows that everyone has had the same training and knows how to do things the right way.

Ultimately, this is what a supervisor wants: a team that’s on the same page, understands procedure and respects safe work.
