High Risk of Injury: Temporary workers often face higher risks of injury due to unfamiliarity with the workplace, tasks, and safety protocols. 2. Lack of Training: They may not receive the same level of training as permanent employees, increasing the likelihood of accidents. 3. Legal Compliance: Employers are legally required to provide a safe working environment for all employees, including temporary workers. Temporary workers should be equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to perform their jobs safely to prevent injuries and ensure a productive and healthy work environment and its is the moral responsibility to have basic safety knowledge

Every temporary worker should receive a thorough safety orientation on their first day, covering general safety protocols. They should also receive detailed training for the specific tasks they will be performing, ensuring they understand the machinery, tools, and safety procedures relevant to their role. Training on the correct use of PPE, including when and how to use it, and ensuring all necessary PPE is provided.

Job safety briefings are to be held at the start of the work shift, as work tasks or hazards differ from the original briefing, and as additional personnel arrive at the job site. One of the most important objectives of holding job safety briefings is to raise awareness about the potential dangers associated with their jobs. They also provide a perfect opportunity to show workers the real hazards that may be present while they work and will in turn keep safety at the forefront of their mind. It also gives an opportunity to discuss about any injuries or accidents that have occurred in the industry. Another aspect of the job safety briefing is to create plans for improvement of the safety procedures and to share ideas and concerns.

Understanding the importance of identifying and mitigating workplace hazards, promoting safety awareness is not just a legal obligation but a moral imperative. Hazard awareness refers to the conscious and proactive recognition of potential hazards and risks in the workplace, along with the adoption of behaviors and practices aimed at preventing accidents, injuries, and damage to property. It involves being mindful of safety protocols, procedures, and best practices, as well as promoting a culture where safety is prioritized by all individuals involved. It also encompasses both the recognition of existing hazards and the implementation of measures to mitigate or eliminate them, thereby fostering a safe environment for all.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training is a program that educates workers in the proper use, selection, maintenance, and applications of different pieces of personal protective equipment that they use on the job. Having the right PPE isn’t enough to ensure worker safety in the field. It’s critical that everybody on the team understands when to use specific protective gear, how to use them effectively, and how to detect if it’s defective. That way, they can maximize the protection offered by the equipment. This is why we must ensure that they have a comprehensive PPE training program to go through before entering the field. This allows to fully highlight the importance of proper PPE use and instill a culture of safety.
