AFSA Releases New Hire Orientation Video

Workplace Excellence Starts “Day One”

The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) has launched a brand new, updated version of its popular new-hire orientation presentation, “Day One, Safe One.” This members-only benefit is designed to give new hires an idea of what to expect on the job, and to make sure that they maintain a safe working environment from day one.

This new AFSA employee orientation presentation helps to make onboarding a new employee fast and easy. The presentation incorporates an audio narrated slideshow with videos to make learning easy.

With a run time of less than 20 minutes, the presentation briefly covers a variety of topics and tools that a new hire might expect to see on the job, including codes of conduct and basic first aid as well as basic types of equipment such as job-site personal protective equipment, tools, sprinkler heads, pipe, fittings, and much more.

The presentation, available at firesprinkler.org/education-center/safety-training, may be streamed directly from the AFSA website from any web-enabled device, or the video file may be downloaded for offline use (134 MB).

This training presentation is an initiative of the AFSA Contractor Support & Advisory Committee, chaired by R. Donald Kaufman, president and owner of Kaufman Fire Protection, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Jeff Livaudais, director of membership services and AFSA staff liaison to the committee, says: “The new AFSA ‘Day One, Safe One’ is a quick, easy-to-use orientation for new employees to know what to look for on the job and for getting them started on the right track.”

To access the new “Day One, Safe One” video, AFSA members should visit firesprinkler.org/education-center/safety-training (member login required).

When AFSA was formed in 1981, its founders had a vision: to create the industry leader in fire sprinkler education and training. From day one, this association was on the path to do just that, continually offering new and newly updated educational resources through effective, economical and convenient delivery methods.

As AFSA enters into its 35th year, it has a wealth of the professional materials, industry research, and collective knowledge and experience. So whether you’ve been in the business for years or you’re the new kid on staff, this member-exclusive content will help you more efficiently perform your job by answering your questions about the vast – and often confusing – world of fire protection technology. Visit firesprinkler.org, and see why over 10,000 unique visitors use AFSA’s homepage each month as their source for all things fire sprinkler.
