Funny you should post this today--I just delivered our annual safety 
training to secondary science teachers.
 
Approximately ten of our 80 secondary science teachers (district-wide) 
missed  the Right-to-Know training for legitimate reasons.  They 
contacted me in advance.  In fact, most of them had the same conflicting 
meeting to attend.  I will arrange one make-up meeting for them, but 
invite anyone who missed (kind of a "free pass").  Any who miss the 
make-up will be reported to their principal.  
 
I realize this seems heavy-handed ("if you blow off safety training, I 
will hunt you down.  I will find you.")  I tell the building principal 
that an untrained employee is a safety hazard.  Seems like this is the 
only way to get some folks to take this trainng seriously.

I am wondering how others address employees "blowing-off" safety 
training.  There always seem to be the few employees that invariably are 
no shows for the trainings.

 

Thanks in advance for your replies...
