Training new employees on print equipment safety is a critical step in ensuring a productive and accident-free workplace
Establish safety as the foundation of your new hire training from their very first shift
Provide a full walkthrough of the core equipment they’ll operate—printers, presses, trimmers, and finishing units
Highlight dangers like rotating rollers, extreme heat, crushing zones, and chemical exposure from toner, ink, or solvents
Offer live, step-by-step practice sessions on paper feeding, cartridge replacement, and jam removal
Stress that all servicing and cleaning must only occur after power is fully disconnected and locked out
Mandate the use of safety goggles, ریسوگراف cut-resistant gloves, and steel-toed footwear whenever near active equipment
Install visible, easy-to-read warning labels beside every machine with critical alerts and shutdown steps
Confirm that every employee understands the location and proper activation method of all emergency shutdown controls
Create a no-blame reporting system where staff feel safe speaking up about equipment issues or hazardous behaviors
Implement a buddy system where seasoned workers guide newcomers through daily tasks under close supervision
It gives them the chance to clarify doubts immediately and see safety protocols applied consistently
Keep training records and require a short quiz or practical assessment to confirm understanding before allowing independent operation
Celebrate individuals who consistently adhere to safety rules and proactively identify potential dangers
Safety is not a one time training event but an ongoing commitment
When safety becomes second nature, you reduce risks and maintain peak performance across every print job
