HR Best Practice: WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit)
Have a new hire complete the WOTC Telephone Survey the same time he/she completes the rest of the new hire forms: state tax form, Direct Deposit, unit specific forms, and providing I-9 Documents.
Safety: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment is something that you wear that puts a
barrier between you and the hazard that it is designed to protect you from.
For example, cut-resistant gloves protect from knife cuts. Personal Protective
Equipment must be used when a hazard has been identified and there is
a PPE that will help to protect against that hazard. Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) includes cut resistant gloves, dust masks, slip-resistent
shoes from an approved vendor, face shields, hard hats, oven mitts
and any number of other protective items.
PPE is the first defense against accidents. Maybe even more
important, proper PPE use can set the tone for a safe jobsite or
workplace. Its constant use tells all involved that these individuals
and clients are serious about working safety. Proper PPE use is
critical to the long-term success of most company safety programs.
It is also a legal obligation that the wearing and use of appropriate
PPE is enforced. Don’t ever compromise with your employees or
subcontractors when it comes to PPE compliance.
Selecting PPE
All PPE clothing and equipment should be of safe design and
construction and should be maintained in a clean and reliable
fashion. Employers should take the fit and comfort of PPE into
consideration when selecting appropriate items for the workplace.
PPE that fits well and is comfortable to wear will encourage employee
use of PPE. Most protective devises are available in multiple sizes and
care should be taken to select the proper size for each employee. If
several different types of PPE are worn together, make sure they are
compatible. If PPE does not fit properly, it can make the difference
between being safely covered or dangerously exposed.
Training Employees in the Proper Use of PPE
• Information on when PPE is needed
• An explanation on what PPE is required and where to obtain it
• How to properly put on, take off, adjust and wear the PPE
• The limitations of the PPE
• Proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of PPE
Make sure that the PPE assessment is periodically reviewed, especially
when implementing new equipment or processes
