We have an online meeting program that we are currently looking into using for our 4th shift crew. It is designed so that you can record your training and add in places that the employee will have to do/answer something in order to continue in the program. Our IT department is reviewing

the DVD; your plan will not work

tired from late hours, school, and work and there's even more trouble. NOt that they always get followed, but there are regulations about the number of hours that teens can work, depending on their age...) to work at dangerous occupations, for an excessive number of hours, and at unsuitable times

opportunities to learn to work. I might be an exception, but I started driving at age 6. I had my first full... experiences in the work placewhen we get too carried away with rules and regs. I am continually... and allowing them to learn to work. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest

I too would be interested in the results of your study. Regardless of whether school is in session, teen workers are not wired the same as adults. Numerous studies indicate that teenagers don't have a fully developed sense of risk, and are thus prone to making bad safety decisions. Fatigue due to class schedule can certainly have an effect, but even a young person well rested and focused on the task at hand is more likely to get themselves hurt than an adult employee. It's important to remember this

Good afternoon, I am currently researching a project on the safety implications of teens working long hours and during school term. I would be interested in hearing any stories (both positive and negative); any comments in relation to this will be appreciated. Do you know of any good site that you could refer me to? Kind regards Liam Higgins

We bought a DVD camera for recording trainings that not everyone can get to (mostly because of shift work), then require that themissing attendeesview & sign-off on the DVD. Has anyone else tried training like

This is a mighty good question. While pre-shift work area inspections are definitely a best practice, i am thinking that any regulations that apply might be topic (or sub-part) specific. For example... for our colleagues is, what other areas require pre-shift inspections

Thanks all for your insight, our company policy has been to do a pre-shift / pre-work inspection. The policy states specifically that it is not a formal inspection, but a "intentional" informal inspection to make sure something hasn't changed since the last time the worker was in that area

We are looking into changing our daylight work schedule. We are a manufacturing plant which operates 24/7. Our production people work rotating 12 hour shifts. Our daylight shift (primarily maintenance, project engineering, staff support, management) currently is scheduled to work Monday - Thursday
