Fall is a great time for a fresh start. In the workplace, this can mean encouraging (or requiring) employees to brush up on their skills and participate in some professional development to ensure that your business has a knowledge-base you can rely on.

We frequently hear about the importance of annual refresher training. Now, we know some refresher training is required by the job, or by regulation, or by company policy but we also find that certain types of training are essential to the ongoing health of a business. In other words, there are training topics employers should be focusing on to get the best bang for the training buck. Based on our experience, there are six topics that seem to rise to the top of the list for many of the businesses we work with.

Are they on YOUR list?

Safety is our business. At TSS, we are all about providing our clients with resources and education to avoid hazards and minimize chances for serious injury. With this in mind, do you know what our certified safety specialists - people who live and breath safety - say is their number one safety must-have? The answer is: a well-stocked first aid kit.

"First aid kits are so important because you never know when the unexpected will happen," says TSS team member  Larissa Greer. "Being prepared can reduce panic and provide short term care to prevent infection or keep an injury from becoming more serious."

Greer recommends always having a first aid kit within reach in the house, the car, on boats at work and in your backpack for hiking. She also advises that families can benefit from taking a first aid course so that everyone knows how to utilize the supplies in the kit and other common household items that can be useful in an emergency.
