ASEAN Guidelines for Occupational Safety and Health 6.1.3: OSH training for all workers from a needs assessment and training matrix: induction, job-specific and refresher training, delivered, recorded and evaluated

What does 6.1.3 require?

All workers should receive OSH training, covering generic skills such as induction, risk management and evacuation, and risk-specific skills for those with verification roles such as committee members, first aiders and radiation or biosafety roles. Management approves and allocates training resources. Needs are assessed by talking with workers and identifying the risk areas needing most attention, compiled into a training matrix, prioritised into a plan and schedule (legislation and hazard management modules first), delivered by methods suited to the audience and the tasks, recorded by name and date and kept on file, evaluated through worker opinion, supervisor observation and workplace improvement, and reviewed from time to time so that refresher training and legal changes are picked up.
