Employees Should be Briefed/Updated on Similar Equipment that may Differ from that Which they were Trained and Certified to Use

 Let's say that an employee or former employee of one company and a new hire at another company is hired based on training and certification from the former company. The equipment at the new company is a bit different from that of the former company and the employee is not familiar with the specific kind or brand of equipment at the new company... 

The employee successfully utilized the former company's equipment, and it is highly likely that they can successfully utilize the equipment at the new company with minimal training or a simple showing of the differences in the equipment of the latter.

Not only should the employee be trained, the fact that he or she has been hired obligates or should obligate the hiring company to properly train the employee, to satisfy standards of fairness and safety. If the employee is not properly trained and injures himself or herself and/or others, the employer should be held accountable. This act of omission could additionally be considered discrimination. 

Companies should want all of their employees to succeed and should properly equip them to. This gives employees a since of pride in their jobs, it decreases turnover, and improves company and societal morale.
