New Worker Orientation Talk

Why it matters

Workers in their first month get injured far more often - the site is new, the pressure is real.

Key points

• New on site? Say so. Nobody expects you to know the site layout yet.
• Ask before operating anything - authorization is not an insult.
• Find today: first aid, muster point, washroom, foreman, and this crew's hand signals.
• Watch the experienced crew - then ask why they do it that way.
• You can refuse unsafe work. That right is legal and this company honors it.

Discussion

Veterans: share one thing you wish someone had told you in your first week.
