## NEW WORKERS

Think about your workplace from the new worker's point of view for a moment. Remember your own first day on the  
job. You'll see a busy place full of strange equipment, unfamiliar chemicals and complicated tasks. Everyone else  
seems to know what they are doing. More than anything, you just want to fit in with the rest of the crew and look like  
you know what you are doing.

Help the new worker settle in safely by following these points:

• Show them where to obtain safety materials and instructions at your machine.

• Help the new worker get equipped, fitted and trained with the appropriate protective clothing and equipment  
for the task at hand.

• Show your new co-worker the labels for any chemicals you are dealing with. Help them understand how to  
read them and what PPE is necessary to work with them.

• Point out the location of fire extinguishers, alarm boxes and other emergency equipment.

• Make sure the new worker knows what to do in case of an emergency such as a fire. Does he or she know  
two exits from the workplace, and where to assemble outside?

• Communicate the importance of leaving machine guards in place to prevent accidental contact with moving  
equipment and stock.

• If you see anyone wearing loose clothing which could become caught in machinery, speak up.

• Make sure the new employee knows who to talk to about any safety concerns or questions.

• If you see the new person or any worker doing something unsafe, speak up. It's not interfering; it's looking out  
for the other worker.

Your advice to the new co-worker is not a replacement for proper safety orientation, training and supervision.  
However, you can help make sure he or she picks up the information necessary to work safely.

**SAFETY REMINDER** ***New workers, when they first start at a new job, are at a greater risk of injury***
