Workplace safety for supervisors training

It's a common attitude among supervisors, and an understandable one. Most are promoted for being good at production and are measured on output. Nobody shows them how safety fits into that job.

But the supervisor is the person standing next to the work when something goes wrong. They decide whether a guard stays on, whether a spill is cleaned now or later, and whether a new worker is shown the right way. A supervisor who understands risk, and how losses hit the bottom line, makes the whole safety system work. This course builds that understanding.
