AFPA SPECIAL TOPIC - Hazards of Equipment Training

In a food processing facility, trainees are tasked with learning about complex equipment during site-specific training. Although essential to workplace health and safety, equipment training itself poses some probable hazards of injury and/or even death that must be carefully addressed before, during, and after each session. This course examines best practices for your team to consider when conducting site-specific training in a food processing facility. With a review of the relevant OHS Act, Code, and Regulations on this topic, this course is highly recommended for all trainers and trainees who participate in site-specific equipment training at your facility: frontline workers, supervisors, and safety officers. Managers and owners may also benefit in terms of learning the hazards and potential measures that can be put in place to reduce the likelihood of injuries during equipment training.
