(A) All section supervisors will conduct a monthly safety meeting with their employees. Date, those in attendance and the topic of the discussion will be documented. Documentation of safety meetings shall be submitted to the Safety Coordinator on a monthly basis.
(B) All newly assigned and/or hired employees will receive a safety orientation on the safety policies and procedures for their department/division and vehicles/equipment before going to work at their designated duty section. This orientation shall be the direct responsibility of the department head and shall be conducted by the department head and/or the employee’s direct supervisor. The safety orientation will be documented and signed by both the department head/supervisor conducting the orientation and employee and a copy shall be placed in the employee’s personnel file as a permanent record.
(C) Since the need for safety training varies according to the degree of exposures to hazardous conditions, it is impractical to establish mandatory minimum amounts of training to provide each month. Documentation of training sessions shall be submitted to the Safety Coordinator on a monthly basis. The Safety Coordinator will act as liaison in procuring instructors and visual aids on request.
