How Gerard Roofing Technologies Utilizes Compliance and Safety’s Products

Q: What prompted you to seek this safety training DVD on back safety?
A: We were in need of some High Impact Safety Training DVDs/ Videos to impress upon the workers minds that constant need to focus on Safety at ALL TIMES. The High Impact video message and images were to show the guys what could happen if that did not always follow the safety procedures, wearing the correct PPE and just keeping their minds on the job at hand.

Q: Do you believe that the additional training has helped your workforce avoid future accidents?
A: We believe that the DVDs message helped to bring the idea of Safety to their minds in such a way that they are working harder to be safe and to help keep their co-workers safe as well.
We have been able to achieve a Zero Recordable Record for the 2011 year. This is the 1st for us in our 26 years of being in business. We averaged 3.5 recordables annually.

Q: Have you had any major accidents in the past?
A: About 10-11 years ago we had a major accident wherein a press operator lost the end of an index finger because the 60 ton press double tripped.
We process 26 gauge steel into metal roof panels so most of the other recordables have been: cuts on hands, other hand arm injuries, back and shoulder sprains, with a few other odd injuries of wire under skin and fractured ribs from stepping off of a pallet with a pallet falling onto the employee.

Q: Do you feel that the training has made your work environment safer? Do you notice any specific differences in the way that your employees do their job which makes it a safer work environment?
A: No this is not the 1st time that I have purchased a Safety Training Package. I have 15 other videos on 15 different Safety Topics that we review annually. And no, this will not be the last time that I purchase a Safety Training Package. Because a Safety Training Program needs to be constantly changing on the way that the information is presented to keep it fresh and exciting to help the employees to remember what they should be doing and that the Safety program is to keep them safe.

Q: Is this the first time that you’ve purchased a safety training package?
A: It is the first time we’ve taken a training DVD and attempted to develop it across the entire institution of employees and all departments. I think the ability to “host” the training online within the company’s intranet with login/password is a useful way to reach across different departments and make the training more efficient to manage.

      How The Masters College Utilizes Compliance and Safety’s Products

      Q: What prompted you to seek this safety training DVD on back safety?
      A: When you have numerous employees across various departments riding golf carts around the campus, it is important that you cover your liability. We began requiring all utility cart drivers view the DVD, sign waiver forms and be field trained by a supervisor within their department on the proper operation and charging of their carts.
      Q: Do you believe that the additional training has helped your workforce avoid future accidents?
      A: When an employee is required to take time out of his work day to train in a certain area and you can combine that training with a few different learning methods, I think you can increase safety in the workplace.
      Q: Did any of the members of your workforce express their appreciation for the training?
      A: Although we did not have individual employees thank us for the training, we did have the Human Resources Director express appreciation that we were working to increase workplace safety.

      Q: Do you feel that the training has made your work environment safer? Do you notice any specific differences in the way that your employees do their job which makes it a safer work environment?
      A: Yes, but primarily because it causes the employee to think specifically about safety as it relates to the operation of carts. I think the DVD viewing alone is not enough, as the training video suggest. Each company needs to require employees receive field training in safe operation and it doesn’t hurt to have them sign an agreement to operate safely and report accidents promptly.
      Q: Is this the first time that you’ve purchased a safety training package?
      A: It is the first time we’ve taken a training DVD and attempted to develop it across the entire institution of employees and all departments. I think the ability to “host” the training online within the company’s intranet with login/password is a useful way to reach across different departments and make the training more efficient to manage.

Q: What prompted you to seek this safety training DVD on back safety?
A: It was a proactive decision by our OHS committee to offer safety training and information to our employees.
Q: Do you believe that the additional training has helped your workforce avoid future accidents?

Q: Did any of the members of your workforce express their appreciation for the training?
A: Yes, I had someone tell me that they had no idea that the way you sit at your desk is important to back health and they have made adjustments to their work habits from that knowledge.
Q: Do you feel that the training has made your work environment safer? Do you notice any specific differences in the way that your employees do their job which makes it a safer work environment?
A: Since the training took place, I have noticed employees using some of the lifting techniques outlined in the training.
Q: Is this the first time that you’ve purchased a safety training package?
A: Yes.  Will it be the last time?  No, I think our workplace could benefit from additional safety training on other topics.

New Slips Trips and Falls in Construction Software January 20, 2012 No Comments

Most employees don’t give much thought to the prospect of slipping, tripping or even falling on the job. Yet these types of accidents account for more workplace injuries annually than any other accident category. Many of these injuries can be disabling… or even fatal. And because there is so much material, so many tools and pieces of equipment, and so much in the way of “partially completed” work, construction sites can be a virtual maze of slip, trip and fall hazards.

MARCOM’s Slips, Trips and Falls in Construction Training Software show employees the types of situations on construction sites that can lead to slips, trips and falls, and what they can do to avoid or prevent these accidents. Topics covered in these products include:

  • Center of gravity and balance.
  • Trips and slips.
  • Walking surfaces.
  • Housekeeping and maintenance.
  • Footwear.
  • How to fall properly.
  • Personal protective equipment.
  • And more.

Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course from the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library provides the most cost-effective training available today. The course features Read the rest of this entry »
