A Case of Too Little Training Too Late!
It’s late Friday afternoon in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Jeff
Hartley, a returning summer student, is looking forward to the end
of the workday so that he can join his team from the paint
department at the baseball game tonight. At the same time, in the
office area adjacent to the plant, Julie Adler is working on the
finishing touches to a new training program she will be requiring
all new employees to take prior to being hired at Simplas Inc.
Julie just completed hiring back all of the summer students who
were on staff last year and is anxious to have them attend this
required training/onboarding program scheduled for Monday morning.
The company has never had a formal onboarding program before,
including no Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
(WHMIS) training regarding chemicals and their effects in the
workplace. Julie has been noticing some unsafe behaviours lately
and wants to take this opportunity to put appropriate training in
place. Another part of Julie’s plan for this training is to
emphasize the supervisor’s role in each department with regard to
promoting safe behaviours, especially in the area of proper
handling of chemicals in the workplace. An hour later Julie has put
the finishing touches on her new orientation/training program, has
confirmed the trainer scheduled to certify everyone in WHMIS on
Monday, and has received top management support for her program
when she hears screams coming from the paint department. Running
down the stairs to the paint department, she sees Jeff Hartley
unconscious on the floor. The sound of the arrival of the ambulance
erupts into the air. After Jeff is taken to the hospital, Julie is
desperate to investigate what happened. She turns to his supervisor
and demands to know all the details. Apparently, in his hurry to be
done for the day, Jeff did not wear his face mask while he was
painting a final part and must have passed out from the paint fumes
collecting in the area. Julie sighs and realizes just how much more
training will be needed at this company; onboarding is just a
start. Please assist Julie by answering the following
questions.
Questions
Should Julie put together specific training for all
summer students?
