Safe integration of new workers in the wood product manufacturing sector

Summary

The integration of new workers in the wood product manufacturing sector poses several challenges: shortage of human resources, employee turnover, a versatility requirement, and occupational health and safety issues. Created on the basis of interviews conducted and observations made in five companies operating in this sector, this self-diagnostic tool will help you reflect on how new workers are integrated into your company.

By means of questions about the goals and processes of integration and the key actors involved, this tool will enable you to:

  • identify your current practices and conditions that facilitate new worker integration; and
  • identify action priorities to ensure continuous improvement.
