Safety Training for New Employees: A Colorado Employer Checklist

A new employee’s first days shape how they understand hazards, procedures and expectations. Orientation should be organized, understandable and specific to the work.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Rushing someone onto a crew without the right information can expose the employee and coworkers to preventable risk.

WHAT TO KNOW

A checklist may include emergency procedures, reporting, hazard communication, personal protective equipment, equipment authorization, driving rules, prohibited tasks and supervisor contacts. Training should be documented and delivered in a language and vocabulary the employee understands.

WHO THIS IS FOR

The checklist is useful for supervisors, HR teams, safety coordinators and small-business owners responsible for onboarding.
