STOP FOR EMPLOYEES INTRODUCTION

Currently only STOP for Supervision training is conducted throughout PDO! - contact MSE1 for more details.

STOP stands for Safety Training Observation program, a program aimed at preventing incidents and injuries. STOP for Employees is a self-observation safety program designed especially for the employees in your organisation. During STOP, participants learn to practice safety awareness and recognise and eliminate unsafe acts and unsafe conditions-the major causes of workplace injuries.

STOP for Employees was originally developed by DuPont. It consists of self-study workbooks, on-the-job activities, and Group Discussion meetings with videotapes. These components introduce and reinforce basic STOP safety concepts that help participants change their behaviours and work more safely. The result? An effective safety program that can significantly reduce incidents and injuries at your site.

The target audience for STOP is all employees, regardless of their background in safety, their job titles, or their positions in your organisation. Because STOP builds safety awareness into every employee's job, you can use it in virtually any work environment.

Although STOP for Employees can improve any organisation's safety record, it is recommended especially for sites that have completed STOP for Supervision. This can enhance the success of STOP for Employees because the STOP safety process will be familiar to leadership and already working to improve safety.
