Work (tasks and their objectives) and working methods

Workplace working conditions

Tools used in the work and their adequate use

Work hazards and disadvantages, and safe working practices

How to react in the event of a disruption and exception

The orientation also applies to common working methods and cooperative relationships at the workplace. Orientation ensures that the employee adopts safe working practices and the common practices of the workplace. 

Orientation is an ongoing activity at the workplace. The employees must also be oriented with changing tasks and their skills must be developed. 

Employees have the right to orientation and guidance that supports working. Remember to stick to your rights by asking and obtaining information relative to your work. Also, voice your own ideas to improve occupational safety.
