Week 1 – Research Assignment: Workplace Safety and OSHA 10 Fundamentals
Introduction to Workplace Safety Research
Before you’re taught anything formally, you’re going to teach yourself. This week, you’ll research workplace safety and OSHA fundamentals on your own — vocabulary, hazards, PPE — and build your own process for staying safe on the job. Don’t worry about getting it perfect. Week 2 will walk you through the official process so you can see how close you got. You’ll also activate your OSHA 10 Construction Safety account this week — it has to be finished by the end of Year 1, so starting now keeps you ahead of the deadline.
Define each key vocabulary term in your own words
— no copy-pasted definitions.
Build your own step-by-step process for staying safe on the job
Include a detailed annotation for each step explaining what it involves and why it matters.
Write a generalized outcome statement
This paragraph describes what safety competency looks like at CN Signs. What should you be able to do and how will you demonstrate it?
List at least three questions you still have for your supervisor.
These should be specific questions you still have after you have fully researched how to master the month’s competency.
