Annual safety training for workers

Once a year every worker takes safety training again — even someone who has worked there for twenty years. The annual refresher is the part most easily forgotten: workers start on different dates, and shifts never meet in one room.

Under Israel's Organisation of Labour Inspection (Provision of Information and Training of Workers) Regulations, 1999, a worker is trained before starting work, when something material changes in their work, and at least once a year. The annual refresher applies to every worker, and fits the risks of their job.

The general training covers what every worker on site needs to know, for example:

  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Electrical safety
  • Fire, fire prevention and using an extinguisher
  • Ergonomics and sitting well
  • What to do in an emergency — missile fire and earthquake
  • First aid
  • Entering the plant floor and the warehouse

A worker whose job has risks of its own — a forklift operator, a warehouse worker, a maintenance worker — also takes their job's training.

When every worker started on a different date, their refresher falls on a different date too. Instead of chasing lists:

  • Every work certificate has an expiry date, set the moment the worker signed.
  • 30 days before it expires, the worker appears on the officer's refresher list, and a worker with an e-mail address also gets a reminder.
  • The worker takes the refresher on their phone, when it suits the shift — without stopping the line.

A picture of every worker: who is valid, whose certificate is about to expire and who has not trained yet. And for every worker — the training, the language it was taken in, the date, the next refresher and their signature.

  • A ready general annual training in nine languages — part of the free plan too.
  • Trainings by job, assigned to every worker by their job.
  • A question after every topic and an explanation after every answer — nobody fails.
  • A signed work certificate with an expiry date, and a refresher list 30 days ahead.
