S&C Hazard Communication (HazCom) Training
THE TRAINING PROVIDES TEAM MEMBERS A FRAMEWORK TO ASSESS AND MITIGATE RISKS.” — MAYRA MACIAS, ASSISTANT MANAGER, (HSE&S)
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION TRAINING Team member safety training in Canada and Mexico focuses on a tailored approach to meet local needs — a strategy that has delivered strong results. In Canada, the program started informally, with team members asked to write down anything they perceived as unsafe. Then, the safety team installed a digital system to capture and track the status of safety action plans, which provided some additional opportunity for safety education. “When we launched the digital platform, we taught everyone how to use it, which gave us an opportunity to do some training on hazard identification,” says Laura Cudizio, Senior Manager – Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE&S).
In Mexico, S&C launched an annual training program aligned with Normas Oficiales Mexicanas — the mandatory technical regulations issued by the Mexican government to ensure that products, services, processes, and installations meet specific safety, health, environmental, and consumer protection requirements. “The training provides team members a framework to assess and mitigate risks,” added Mayra Macias, Assistant Manager, HSE&S. “The site also integrated the Take 5 methodology, encouraging team members to pause and assess risks before starting work.” To extend the success and lessons learned from these programs, we launched a new, two-part Spark training series in June for U.S. team members. The first session introduces hazard identification and its importance, while the second teaches team members how to report hazards using their tablets.
