Temporary Workers: A Significant Safety Concern
Summary:
Temporary workers pose a significant safety risk due to their unfamiliarity with workplace procedures and limited time on-site. It is crucial for them to receive the same health and safety training as permanent staff.
Article:
Temporary workers are often at risk because they may not be well-acquainted with the workplace environment or company rules. Whether covering for absent employees or handling seasonal workloads, these workers, often hired through employment agencies, need thorough training in health and safety protocols.
It's essential that temporary workers receive information about potential health and safety risks identified in risk assessments. They should also understand the preventative measures in place and know the correct steps to take during emergencies.
In the event of an accident, the employer of the temporary worker is responsible for reporting it. If an incident occurs at the host employer’s site, it’s crucial for the host to promptly inform the worker’s agency.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is another critical consideration. While the host employer must inform the agency about the necessary protective gear, the responsibility to provide it falls to the agency. Some agencies might require workers to supply their own PPE.
To mitigate risks, a comprehensive safety policy should address arrangements for temporary workers, including necessary occupational skills for safe job performance. It is vital to document that these workers are trained in the company's health and safety policies.
By ensuring thorough training and clear communication, both employment agencies and host employers can significantly reduce the safety risks associated with temporary workers.
