Q: What prompted you to seek this safety training DVD on back safety?
A: The DVD was purchased to meet a training need for Lock Out / Tag Out and the Hazardous Communication required.
Q: Do you believe that the additional training has helped your workforce avoid future accidents?
A: The lock out tag out DVD has helped avoid accidents by the awareness it provides, importance of the standard, and the correct procedure to follow. The hazardous communication DVD does provide the information required for awareness, interpreting the information contained on an MSDS, importance of labeling containers, vocabulary – to that end no-one has used the incorrect chemical knowing what was to be in the container. Direct answer is there have been no equipment or chemical accidents.
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, training provided that is centered on safety makes the work place and the work environment safer. Without the training employees would be unaware of the reason or procedure for locking out a machine or that we as a company take responsibility for the chemicals we bring in the doors.
Q: Do you notice any specific differences in the way that your employees do their job which makes it a safer work environment?
A: Yes, locking out a machine for maintenance, labeling bottles effectively, checking contents of a bottle safely before using.
Q: What advice would you give other business owners in regards to keeping a safe and OSHA compliant work environment?
A: Keep up with the standards and be sure to keep training current for everyone.
I like the DVD’s for presenting the information in a manner and language that can easily be understood, they are available for review or retraining whenever needed, and cover what needs to be covered during initial training or periodically to maintain the work force.

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.

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.
