1 Know your rights

As an employee, you have the right to work in a safe and healthy workplace. You also have the right to know about the risks and hazards in your job, and how to prevent or control them. You have the right to participate in safety training, inspections, and committees. And you have the right to refuse unsafe work or report any concerns without fear of retaliation. Learn about your rights and responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS).

To ensure safety at a new job, first, familiarize yourself with workplace safety protocols. Attend training sessions to learn about potential hazards and mitigation techniques. Conduct regular inspections for safety hazards and report them promptly. Always wear required PPE and follow safety guidelines. Ask questions to clarify safety procedures if needed. Stay vigilant, informed, and proactive to mitigate risks effectively.

2 Follow the rules

Every workplace has its own policies and procedures for safety and health. These may include wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), following lockout/tagout procedures, reporting incidents and injuries, and using safe work practices. Make sure you read and understand the safety rules and guidelines for your job, and follow them at all times. If you have any questions or doubts, ask your supervisor or a co-worker for clarification.

3 Get trained

One of the best ways to prevent accidents and injuries is to get proper training for your job. Training can help you learn how to use the equipment, tools, and materials safely and efficiently. It can also help you identify and avoid hazards, and respond to emergencies. Take advantage of any training opportunities offered by your employer, such as orientation, on-the-job training, or online courses. And don't be afraid to ask for more training if you feel you need it.

Personally when I was appointed HSE Manager at a foundry, I had no prior experience in foundry work environment, to ensure I was not putting myself in danger, I focused on comprehensive training and thorough induction processes. My employer conducted inductions into the foundry's safe systems of work, and I studied the Operating Procedures. Familiarised myself with every aspect, from equipment operation to emergency protocols. I also engaged with experienced staff to gain insights into potential hazards and best practices. Requested in-depth induction sessions tailored to the specific hazards of the foundry environment. Additionally, I prioritise PPE adherence, this equipped me to navigate the hazards of the foundry environment safely.

4 Communicate and cooperate

Communication and cooperation are essential for workplace safety. You need to communicate with your supervisor, co-workers, and clients about your tasks, expectations, and concerns. You also need to cooperate with your team, share information, and support each other. By communicating and cooperating, you can create a positive and respectful work culture, where everyone feels valued and safe.

5 Be alert and aware

Another key to workplace safety is to be alert and aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to what you are doing, and how it affects others. Avoid distractions, such as using your phone, listening to music, or multitasking. Be aware of the potential hazards in your work area, such as spills, cords, machines, or traffic. And be aware of your own physical and mental health, and take breaks when you need them.

6 Seek feedback and improvement

Finally, workplace safety is not a one-time thing. It is a continuous process of learning and improvement. You need to seek feedback from your supervisor, co-workers, and clients on your performance, and how you can improve it. You also need to give feedback to others, and suggest ways to make the workplace safer and better. And you need to keep yourself updated on the latest safety standards, regulations, and best practices.

By following these six tips, you can make sure you are not putting yourself in danger at your new job. You can also contribute to a safer and healthier workplace for everyone. Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility, and you have a role to play in it.

Estarei assegurando que n?o estou me colocando em perigo, quando eu levo do princípio que a seguran?a é considerada como principal valor. Quando fa?o as atividades realizando todos protocolos de saúde e seguran?a. Quando realizo minhas análises preliminares de risco antes de iniciar a atividade. Quando eu estiver realizando minhas atividades e pensando que tem pessoas que me amam me esperando em casa . Conclus?o: quando a seguran?a do trabalho estiver em 1° lugar.

In certain circumstances where the induction was not adequate, lengthy and not relevant, it is essential for newbies to understand their limit of working area to ensure they are in safe positions. If they insist to go beyond that working area limit, they shall obtain permission and provide clarification. Also, it is important that during the onboarding process, newbies should be guided with proper touring at worksites to understand their limitations.
