Online OSHA Safety Training Learning Module 1-Being Competent on Job Site

Being smart while on the job site or in life in general will go a long way to making this world a better place. While we here at Online OSHA Safety Training believe that it takes adequate safety and health training as well as extensive experience in the field and in the classroom before one can be called a safety expert, we still feel that by utilizing just a smidgen of commonsense and intelligence as well as competence you will be safe and stay alive and employed.

What Makes a Worker a Competent Worker?

Webster’s defines competency as: “Sufficient resources fore a comfortable existence”. We will agree to that and add a few things to that definition so that you will understand just what it takes to go above and beyond and stay safe and keep the job-site safe and the co-workers as well. First of all please take a moment to look at the list below so that you can hit the ground running right off the bat with safety training.

Competent Worker

• Trained and capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous.

• Responsible for performing proper walk throughs before and after the job is initiated.

• Has the will and authority to correct a dangerously-perceived situation and do so without hesitation.

Those are only a few of the characteristics of a competent and highly-perceptive worker. There are so many more but we will not bore you with the details as if you are a competent person and worker you already know most of these work-day characteristics.
