A Message
From
Actsafe
Inexperience, a lack of training and
understanding of their workplace, and a
hesitancy to ask questions have been attributed
as the main reasons for new and young workers
getting injured.
Orientation is an opportunity through which
production companies can inform these new
and young workers about the company, their
plans, and their safety procedures. This quarter’s
Safety Scene focuses on orientation. This edition
has articles on the importance of orientation
and on how production companies are
approaching orientation.
Did you notice that the Safety Scene newsletter
has been revamped into a quarterly edition?
This was made to have theme-related,
technical, and industry relevant articles for you
to enjoy.
One of the interesting takeaways from this
edition of Safety Scene is the pullout in the
center pages which includes information to
assist in giving orientations and a New and
Young Worker Orientation form. Please take
advantage of this form. The printable form is
also found online on our website so that you
can print as many you want.
We hope that you will enjoy this new version of
the newsletter and please share any feedback
with us.
Stay safe!
