New Worker Safety Orientation

BENEFITS: New workers are particularly vulnerable to injury. So some jurisdictions, such as BC, MB, NL and SK, specifically require employers to provide safety training to workers before they start work. And providing a safety orientation to new workers is likely required in other jurisdictions under the general duty clause and/or in order to prove due diligence. HOW TO USE THE TOOL: This Model Form, which is based on one used by the BC Forest Service, is a good example of what to cover in your safety orientation for new workers. Adapt this form for your workplace and use it to document that you’ve given new workers an orientation. Download PDF Version
