Employee Orientation Benchmarking Study
In 2000, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board led a benchmarking examination of a number of leading workplaces to identify the factors that accounted for the sucess of their employee occupational health and safety orientation programs. The Final Report includes findings on orientation along with details on the methodogy behind the benchmarking study. The report resulted in the development of resources for workplaces to use when developing their own orientation programs. The resources include a Guide for Employers and a Guide for Workers.

Preventing Deaths and Injuries to Fire Fighters during Live-Fire Training in Acquired Structures
Training facilities with approved burn buildings should be used for live-fire training whenever possible. However, when acquired structures are used for live-fire training, NIOSH strongly recommends that fire departments follow the national consensus guidelines in NFPA 1403, standard on live-fire training evolutions [NFPA 2002a] to reduce the risk of injury and death. These guidelines are summarized in the recommendations in this document.
