Education & Training - Action Item 4

Action Item 4: Train workers on hazard identification and controls.

Management can do this through the following actions:

• Train workers on techniques for identifying hazards, such as job hazard analysis (see OSHA Publication 3071).
• Train workers so they understand and can recognize the hazards they may encounter in their own jobs, as well as more general work-related hazards.
• Instruct workers on concepts and techniques for controlling hazards, including the hierarchy of controls and its importance.
• Train workers on the proper use of work practice and administrative controls.
• Train workers on when and how to wear required PPE.
• Provide additional training, as necessary, when a change in facilities, equipment, processes, materials, or work organization could increase hazards, and whenever a worker is assigned a new task.
