Orientation checklist for displaced workers

This orientation checklist helps ensure temporarily displaced workers receive the health and safety information they need to be well-equipped to handle their temporary working environment.

This orientation checklist helps ensure temporarily displaced workers receive the health and safety information they need to be well-equipped to handle their temporary working environment.  

Displaced workers face additional stress and uncertainty, impacting their ability to perform their duties effectively. A comprehensive health and safety orientation helps to familiarize workers with their new environment and site-specific health and safety procedures.

Managers and supervisors must ensure that all temporarily displaced workers receive a health and safety orientation and maintain participation records.

This checklist may not be exhaustive. The temporary working environment may require adding additional points specific to the organization or work area to ensure new employees receive all the information they need to work safely.

This checklist has been designed in an editable Word format that can be customized to meet the workplace's specific needs.
