OSH knowledge assessment: The trainee shows the exit route and assembly point, identifies the hazard reporting channel and first-aid kit location, and explains action in the event of a defect or injury. The instructor clarifies unclear points; the result is assessed before the briefing ends. Additions reflecting actual circumstances: Knowledge assessment method and questions​. An employee with an unsatisfactory result is not authorized to perform the relevant work independently until authorization requirements are met. Results are recorded under the employer's established procedure: The record identifies the date, employee and position, instructor and position, program, assessment result and confirmation of participation.

The instructor explains the employer's activities and structure, the employee's reporting line and safety contacts. The instructor shows where internal work rules, instructions and working conditions information are available, and explains duties to comply, use protection, undergo mandatory preparation and report hazards. Statutory guarantees and the procedure for seeking assistance when life or health is threatened are explained separately.

A plan and site familiarization show permitted routes, passages, vehicle zones, restricted areas and assembly points. Explain the prohibition on walking under suspended loads or entering secured danger zones, and the need to account for moving vehicles and surface conditions. The employee must understand how to report an obstruction, lighting defect or dangerous area. Show work and welfare premises, drinking water and storage for clothing and protective equipment. Explain housekeeping, hygiene, intended equipment use, clear passages and safe workplace organization. Only authorized persons carry out maintenance, repairs and switching operations.

Discuss typical injury causes: faulty protection, process violations, lack of training, poor workplace layout, dangerous movements and coordination failures. Examples are considered without victims' personal data. Employees report not only injuries, but also minor injuries, near misses and identified hazards. In an emergency, the employee stops the dangerous operation, warns others, informs the manager and follows signals and the local plan. Equipment is stopped only by a prescribed safe method. If life is threatened, call services on 112 and give the address, location, nature of the event and casualty information. Do not return to the danger zone to recover property.

The instructor shows first-aid kit locations, how to summon help and how to contact trained persons. Before giving aid, assess scene safety, remove exposure to the hazard without risking the rescuer and call emergency services. Actions remain within training; medical prescriptions and independent use of medicines are not included. Brief familiarization does not replace mandatory first-aid training.

Topic durations in the plan must add up to the total; when content changes, both figures are adjusted.
