Small Business Safety Guide

Getting Started – Training that Involves Employees

Regular training helps you and your employees identify and understand the specific hazards in your workplace (even some that you may not be aware of) and come up with solutions. Training also encourages employees to learn how to avoid hazards, and it keeps lines of communication open between you and your staff. Furthermore, having an effective health and safety training program lets employees know that you are serious about promoting sound safety policies and safe work practices in your business. See TASH Tool #4, Training Record, to keep track of your trainings.

WOSHTEP Small Business Resources Packet includes a training guide for two short activities that will engage your employees in identifying and addressing hazards in their own workplace, including Tip Sheets for employees on topics of special concern to small businesses and a safety orientation checklist for small businesses. In addition to the general packet appropriate for any small business, there are industry-specific packets for restaurants, janitorial services and dairy farmers.

Other training resources

  • OSHA Small Business Outreach Training Program
    • Online guide with links to basic information about selected topics in occupational safety and health, specifically focusing on the needs of small business.
  • Cal/OSHA Training and Educational Materials
