Does Section 4 require training for all workers, including new hires and seasonal staff?

• A. It requires training and information for all workers, regardless of status or tenure.
• B. It applies only to full-time employees.
• C. It requires training only for skilled workers.
• D. It exempts seasonal staff from safety training.

Answer: (A)

All workers must receive training and information about hazards and their rights, regardless of whether they are new hires, seasonal staff, part-time, or full-time. The goal is to ensure every employee can work safely, recognizes hazards, knows the controls, and understands how to access safety information and report unsafe conditions. Training must be provided at no cost, during work hours, in a language and literacy level workers understand, and it should be updated when tasks or hazards change. This is why training for all workers, including new hires and seasonal staff, is required.
