18.0 NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION



Policy

All new or transferred employees will receive a Health & Safety Orientation prior to
their first day of doing any work. This orientation will also include any worker that has
been laid off work from [your company name] for a period of 3 months or greater.



This Health & Safety orientation is conducted to make new/transferred employees aware
of the companies practices and policies. Each section of the orientation will first be
reviewed and then initialed off by the employee. This process will ensure that they have
had an opportunity to ask and clarify any questions they may have about that section.



Only knowledgeable employees will do the orientations. Orientations must include a tour
of the facility and the new/transferred employees work-station.


All orientations must be signed and dated by the new worker acknowledging that they
have been orientated to their satisfaction.


All orientation records will be kept in the employees safety file.
