In the modern workplace, supervisors, and other members of the management team often wear many hats, including “frontline safety officer.” Without an effective action plan the process of implementing a workplace safety program can be overwhelming. Supervising for Safety will focus on providing supervisors with the tools and information necessary for implementing an effective workplace safety program.

This seminar will provide information on the following topics: principles of a safety program; job hazard analysis; emergency action plans; accident investigation; safety audit and inspection; documentation requirements; and training requirements.
