Where possible, new workers should not only be trained in the use of all necessary machinery, made aware of all health and safety procedures, and given the appropriate personal protective clothing, but also paired with a more experienced employee.
This may help to reduce the risk of a factory accident occurring and a personal injury compensation claim having to be made against the employer.
Even if new employees are given all the appropriate training and provided with all the equipment they need to stay safe, an individual may not remember all of the health and safety procedures until they have been working with the company for a greater length of time.
For this reason, coupling a new worker with an experienced employee gives the new employee better protection while they learn and remember all the other tasks that are included in their new job.
There is a potential that as a result of the new worker's inexperience, the other co-worker may suffer personal injury. However, if the new employee has been trained, it is less likely that a company would be found liable for the worker's injuries.
If a company paired an experienced worker with the latest addition to the work-force without any training in the hope that the experienced employee would teach them on the job, any injuries suffered by either one of the workers would probably be seen as the responsibility of the company.
