Here’s a general procedure you can follow when implementing work schemes for new and

young workers.

1. Provide an overview
• Explain each job in detail and the reasons for doing it.
• Explain in detail any safety precautions, including PPE.
• If a written safe work procedure for the task is available,
provide a copy or tell workers where they can find a copy.

2. Demonstrate and describe

• Go through the procedure at slow speed and answer any
questions.
• Include safety precautions during the normal sequence of
tasks.
• Have the worker perform the procedure.
• Encourage questions to make sure the worker understands
everything you’re saying and doing.
• Team up new or young workers with experienced workers so
they have someone to request help from.

3. Observe the new worker on the job and check progress

• Conduct regular inspections of worker activities.
• Document follow-up inspections.
• Make inspections shorter and less frequent as the worker
demonstrates safe work practices.
• Correct unsafe work habits immediately.
• Monitor the worker at scheduled intervals to ensure that the
worker is meeting safety standards.
• Remember that, as a supervisor, you’re responsible for the
worker’s health and safety.
• Encourage worker initiative and respect suggestions.
• Keep written records of training and supervision,
documenting who, what, and when.
The Worker Education Program (WEP), is a non-profit workplace education program. 
The mission of WEP is to provide worker-centered educational and training
opportunities to entry-level unionized workers, primarily in the health care sector.  WEP
partners with employers and unions to offer classes that help workers increase their
literacy skills, improve their math, acquire high school diplomas, explore healthcare
careers, or prepare for college.
