The standard procedures with staff in any organization are reception, transfer, dismissal. Each of these actions requires special attention from management. One such process is instructing workers.
Briefing: concept and types
Conducting briefings on labor protection is necessary for both the organization and its employees. It does not matter in what form it is carried out. Familiarization with the rules of conduct and safety at the workplace is the goal of any briefing.
By time and nature, there is a briefing on labor protection:
- target;
- primary;
- repeated;
- unscheduled;
- introductory.
Each of these species has its own goals and reasons for carrying out, but the result is one thing - high-quality and safe work. That is why every employee is instructed on labor protection.
The target, for example, has much in common with other types, but it is narrowly targeted and is used only for a certain employee of the enterprise. A primary instruction on labor protection is very similar to an introductory one, although it has many differences. A more detailed discussion of these two types can be found below.
Primary briefing
It is carried out with each new employee before he begins to perform his duties. Unlike the introductory one, it covers a narrower area, namely the direct work of the employee.
It may look like step-by-step instructions for using the workplace. The most detailed description of all steps and actions is given. It can also indicate how to behave when deviating from the normal course of the working day (for example, when a power outage or equipment breakdown).
Its result is the knowledge of the employee about the possible dangers and how to avoid them. As a result, both the employee and management receive quality and safe work.
It is carried out by the head of the unit or direct superiors, who have the right to instruct the organization’s employees.
Labor protection briefing: target
The name speaks for itself. This type is carried out when a specific goal appears. One of them is a one-time performance of any work that the employee has not previously been involved in. In this case, he is explained in detail (as during the initial briefing) all the functions and actions that he needs to perform, as well as security measures at the temporary workplace.
This type of work may be more dangerous or require more qualifications and experience of the contractor. Therefore, without targeted instruction, the employee cannot be allowed to complete the task. This can lead to unforeseen consequences, the most insignificant of which will be defective products and loss of profit.
Such briefing is carried out not by a labor protection specialist, but by those who have directly encountered the proposed type of work. In this role, teachers, craftsmen or foremen, etc., can play the role of workers who have enough knowledge and experience in the right field, will be able to explain all the subtleties and warn against dangers.
Briefings are all important
Regardless of age, area of activity and company size, it is necessary to instruct employees. You must conduct each training on labor protection (target, introductory, etc.), depending on the case when to use it. This will help increase the safety of employees, increase the reputation of the company and avoid problems with the law.
It is also necessary to remember the timely introduction of changes and unscheduled instruction of employees when changing equipment, developing production and adopting new norms or laws.
