　　Train and Supervise Staff

　　培训与监督员工

　　Why should you bother worrying about workplace health and safety?

　　为什么我们应该关注工作场所的安全与健康问题?

　　It is the law—the Health and Safety in Employment Act says that you have to look after the safety and welfare of people in your workplace.

　　这是法律的规定，《雇佣条例》中的健康与安全条款规定雇主得确保其工作场所中的员工的安全与健康。

　　It is good for business—a focus on health and safety can avoid the human and business costs of workplace injuries. It can also improve productivity.

　　这对企业也有益处，重视安全与健康问题可以避免因工作场所伤害所造成的员工伤残费与企业损失费，同时还有助于提高生产率。

　　Then what you can do to make your workplace safer and how it can benefit your business?

　　那么如何才能使工作场所更安全，并使企业收益呢?

　　It all boils down to four key actions: Manage hazards (Managing hazards is the single most effective thing you and your workers can do to prevent injuries. It’s also one of the easiest to achieve).

　　可归结为四个主要步骤：风险管理(风险管理是你和你的员工防止伤害最有效的唯一措施，也是最简单易行的措施)

　　Train and supervise staff (Ensure all your workers are aware of hazards and follow safe work procedures).

　　培训与监督(确保员工具备危险意识，并能按安全操作程序进行操作)、

　　Prepare for emergencies(Don’t leave it too late, and don’t forget about first aid).

　　应急准备(未雨绸缪，不要忽略急救方法)

　　Investigate injuries and incidents (Accidents will happen. But you can learn from what went wrong). Here we will focus on training and supervising staff.

　　伤残事故调查(事故总会发生，但是你可以从中吃一堑长一智)

　　It makes sense to get your staff trained and involved in health and safety.

　　在此我们将重点讨论培训与监督。

　　Your workers are the one who will be actually making a safer workplace—as an employer, you can only create the right conditions for it to happen.

　　对员工进行培训，让员工参与安全与健康管理是由意义的。实际上，只有员工才能保证工作场所的安全—作为雇主，你只能为员工创造安全的工作环境。

　　Workers who have not been adequately trained can cause serious injuries or even death. So you need to :

　　没有受过全面培训的员工有可能会发生严重的伤残，甚至死亡事故，因此，需要注意以下几点：

　　l Inform and train all employees in health and safety issues in your workplace.

　　告知员工工作场所的健康与危险注意事项，并进行针对性培训。

　　l Make sure employees have specific knowledge about hazards to which they are exposed at work.

　　确保员工的知情权，了解其工作中潜在的危险与伤害。

　　l Supervise employees (especially those who are new and less skilled) to make sure they work safely.

　　监督员工(尤其是新员工和技术欠缺的员工)进行安全操作。

　　l To see how well you train and supervise staff in health and safety, ask yourself and your staff the following questions:

　　检查安全与健康培训及监督工作是否有效，员工和雇主一起试着回答以下问题：

　　(1) Do you discuss health and safety with staff and health and safety representatives, listen to their concerns, and keep records of discussions?

　　你与你的员工及健康与安全代表探讨过健康与安全问题吗? 你有没有倾听员工所关心的问题，并做讨论记录?

　　(2) Have you informed staff about hazards( and their controls) in the workplace?

　　你告知员工工作场所潜在的危险及如何规避危险了吗?

　　(3) Have you trained staff in safe work procedures?

　　你对员工进行安全操作培训了吗?

　　(4) Have you trained staff in emergency procedures?

　　你对员工进行应急培训了吗?

　　(5) Do staff know how to use and maintain personal protective equipment?

　　员工是否知道如何运用于维护个人防护设备?

　　(6) Do you and your staff have up-to-date certificates and licenses to use plants and equipment(e.g. current license for driving a forklift, current first aid certificate)?

　　你和员工拥有最新的成套设备操作证件吗(如最新的铲车驾照、急救证)?

　　(7) Are new staff introduced to the workplace via an induction or orientation that includes health and safety?

　　新员工培训包括安全与健康内容吗?

　　(8) Do you have a training plan to keep track of what health and safety training your staff require, and keep records of training that has been completed?

　　你有跟踪了解员工所需的健康与安全培训的培训计划吗? 你对已完成的培训有记录在案吗?

　　(9) Are new and less skilled staff supervised until they can work safely?

　　新员工和技术欠缺的员工在确保能安全操作是否得到有效监督?

　　If you answered “ Yes” to all of the questions applicable to your business, congratulations—you are doing very well with health and safety training and supervision. If you answered “No” to any of the questions, you should note down the actions you and your staff need to take.

　　如果你的企业对以上问题的回答是“有或者是能”，那么祝贺你---你的企业在安全与健康的培训与监督方面做得很好。如果你的回答中有“没有或不是的”，那么你和你的企业就得制定措施，采取行动了。
