Safety Orientation Checklist for New Employees Safety Mission Statement

Mid Oregon Personnel Services has a strong commitment to ensuring the personal safety of all of its employees. At Mid Oregon Personnel we believe safety begins with you, the individual employee. If you assume primary responsibility for your own safety, you will not be injured. This attitude is pivotal to the success of any safety program in any company to which you are assigned. 

Injury Reporting Policy*:

Worker has been told to notify his/her supervisor immediately after receiving any injury that breaks the skin or causes serious pain. Injuries causing less pain are still to be reported if the pain is still present at the start of the next shift. In both cases the worker will contact Mid Oregon Personnel as well. Employee agrees to notify Mid Oregon Personnel before seeking medical attention for any work related injury unless it is a medical emergency. 

*Only applicable for employees on Mid Oregon Personnel's Worker's Compensation.

Failure to notify Mid Oregon Personnel before seeking medical attention for any work related injury, unless it is a medical emergency, will result in termination. 

General Safety Rules:

Worker has received, read, understands, and agrees to follow the policies of the Rules of Conduct and company Handbook including the general safety rules. 

Energy Control (Lockout/Tagout):

No employee is authorized to work on any equipment without specific training about that piece of equipment. This training must include instruction about de-energizing the machine and isolating it from its power source. 

Chemical Hazards:

The Host employer will have a list of any hazardous chemicals. There will be a Material Safety Data Sheet for each chemical. The MSDS identifies the chemical, the specific hazard, and what to do if exposed to the chemical. Worker must ask about such chemicals and get instruction about how to read those specific MSD sheets.

Various Hazards:

1. Hearing Conservation. Basically, if you have to raise your voice to communicate, you need hearing protection. Ask your supervisor.

2. Fall Protection. If your feet are more than four feet off the ground, you need fall protection. This protection will generally be job specific. Ask your supervisor.

3. Personal Protective Equipment. This will vary from job to job. Ask your supervisor what is required.

4. Generic Hazards. Think in terms of what job you are sending the employee to. E.g. in a mill, rings, bracelets, long hair and baggy clothes are dangerous. Is there need for specific footwear, etc.
