Synthesis of Information Related to Highway Practices. Topic 56-01. Specialized Training and Knowledge Transfer Practices for Employee Safety
Safety training and knowledge transfer practices are important tools for state DOT employees to identify workplace hazards, increase department-wide risk awareness, and develop strategies to eliminate or mitigate risk. A wide range of occupational and workplace hazards exist for all employees within state DOTs. Safety training programs and knowledge transfer strategies increase hazard recognition to improve employee health and safety. Industry driven safety practices and regulations require specific training for workers and supervisors to address workplace safety. The objective of this synthesis is to document state DOT practices regarding safety training programs and knowledge transfer.
