It doesn’t matter how long you have been on the job or worked for the company, at one time or another everybody has been the “New Guy.” Most accidents occur among the least experienced workers, especially new hires. A new employee is more likely to get hurt in the first year of employment, usually within the first few weeks of starting a new job. Good pre-job safety training can help reduce the risk, but it is not always readily available or adequate. During the first day on the job, new employees are overloaded with information about company rules, regulations and procedures. It is equally important to emphasize safety and health.
