Safety Orientation for New Employees

Another major issue that Aggie Safety is successfully addressing for its customers is Safety Orientation for new workers. With Covid worsening the crisis in the United States, we are seeing worker shortages across all industries. This has led to a lot of turnarounds in the workforce at existing companies. Onboarding a new employee with company safety behavior expectations is critical. Aggie Safety has been providing its customer safety orientation for new employees for the applicable safety topics in the digital format. Safety orientation is followed by quizzes/tests to check competency and results are delivered to the supervisor.

Employee training programs can significantly reduce the possibility of OSHA violations or OSHA fines or any litigations. With the unique and multi-faceted safety training offerings by Aggie Safety– an Owner needs to keep an oversight on the workers and the workplace safety as they say “TRUST BUT VERIFY”. Aggie Safety can support that effort by performing compliance inspections on the Owner’s behalf or a “Mock OSHA Inspection” with the review of work areas. After completing the compliance inspection, a written report is submitted to the owner with remediation options for deficiencies. The report will also highlight specific OSHA violations or OSHA fines applicable for specific items. Aggie Safety is well known for safety training in Houston which is mostly a need-based program.
