WHEN SHOULD THE INITIAL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING BE CONDUCTED?

The responsibility for occupational health and safety rests with the employer, who must ensure that the workforce participates in mandatory training sessions within the timelines specified by individual legal provisions. The initial training, covering general and job-specific instructions, should be arranged before allowing a new employee to start working. The subsequent necessary step involves conducting periodic training, which occurs within the first six to twelve months of employment, depending on the position held.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING IN WARSAW – JOB-SPECIFIC AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Initial occupational health and safety training as well as periodic occupational health and safety training are conducted in accordance with the applicable legal regulations, and the focus on specific topics depends on the performed role and the type of conducted business activities. It’s worth noting that the initial training program consists of two parts.

• Initial occupational health and safety training in the form of general instructions – this is a theoretical training where the employee familiarizes themselves with the currently applicable regulations regarding occupational health and safety and labor law. Such a course can be conducted as online occupational health and safety training in an e-learning format.

Position-specific initial occupational health and safety training – this refers to training organized on the company’s premises, focusing specifically on the hazards present at a given workstation.

EMPLOYER’S RESPONSIBILITIES – ORGANIZATION OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING AND ENSURING SUITABLE WORKING CONDITIONS

When conducting business operations, employers, as per regulations, are obliged to ensure the safety of their employees. Some key responsibilities in this regard include:

• arranging initial safety and health training;
• systematic periodic training in occupational safety and health;
• educating employees on health and safety regulations and policies;
• making available clearly defined instructions on safety, as well as the risk of nuisance or hazardous hazards on the job;
• provide each employee with the necessary personal protective equipment.

It is not uncommon for understanding health and safety regulations to be a daunting task, so enlisting the help of specialists in this area is significantly able to streamline the entire process.

NEW EMPLOYEE OR CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT – WHEN DOES HSE TRAINING NOT NEED TO BE CONDUCTED?

In the above list, the first point needs a minor clarification, because if the duration of employment has come to an end, but another employment contract has been signed between the employee and the employer, whose responsibilities are still the same or similar, there is no need to conduct general and job training again.

The situation is completely different when a new person is to come to the company, then the first step should be to organize an initial safety and health training for him, after which you should get written confirmation that it actually took place and the employee took part in it. The template for the initial training card is extremely simple and easy to understand. The most important elements of the card are the signatures – of the head of the organizational unit and of the person to whom the instruction was given.

LEGAL ACTS ON OCCUPATIONAL HSE TRAINING CARRIED OUT AT THE WORKPLACE

You already know that the Labor Code stipulates the obligations that an employer must fulfill in order to provide employees with conditions for safe work performance. It is worth knowing that the Regulation of the Minister of Economy and Labor of July 27, 2004 on training in the field of occupational safety and health has normalized information concerning, among other things:

• training rules for safe and healthy working conditions;
• scope of health and safety training;
• requirements covering how the training program is implemented and conducted;
• documentation confirming training in the area of health and safety principles;
• employee or employer, in the case of which taking up a job does not require completion of training.

WHO IS REQUIRED TO UNDERGO OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING?

Every occupational health and safety training, whether in Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, or any other city, must be conducted by an organizational unit dedicated to such activities. Additionally, it’s worth knowing that the training takes place during working hours and occurs on the first day of employment. Who needs to participate? Every newly employed worker – regardless of their position and type of work, including:

• interns;
• individuals employed for vocational training.

In addition to the employee work environment, it’s also important to note that the employer is obliged to participate in occupational health and safety training necessary, not only to take care of themselves during their duties but also to ensure the safety of all employees. Awareness of existing health hazards, threats, and potential incidents allows for better preparation and, consequently, enhances the sense of security.
