With the busy holiday season approaching, employees at retail workplaces will be busy fulfilling orders and serving customers. They will be asked to handle goods at every step of a product’s movement including receiving, unpacking, storing, transporting, stocking, point of sale, customer assist and delivery.

Training, however, ensures employees understand the risk, can apply controls it in real-world situations, and are supervised to do so safely. We will explore how proper training goes beyond information to build competence and confidence. This session is essential for employers, supervisors, and safety reps who want to meet OHSA requirements and truly protect their teams.
