  • Resources available to meet the challenge.

What to do How to do it
Learn about the safety training obligations of Sokudo Managers. The Sokudo Safety Program (a Workplace Injury & Illness  Prevention Program) outlines supervisors’ responsibilities for their employees’ safety training. According to the WIIPP, supervisors must:
  1. Ensure that employees complete all Required Annual Training
    • Courses are to be completed at the beginning of each calendar year.
    • Employees are not  to work in  customer facilities until all of  their assigned safety courses are  completed.
  2. Identify specific hazards your employees may be exposed to on the job. See the Job Hazard Analysis Tools Page for details.
  3. Conduct weekly safety training sessions with all employees.
  4. Evaluate employee safety training completion and overall safety performance with each employee as part of the annual performance appraisal process.
  5. Document all safety training your employees attend, including supervisor-led training.
    • Completion records for online Mastery Technologies courses are maintained on the SokudoWeb and updated  weekly.
    • Local, Site-Specific, and Weekly Training Sessions should be documented. Email receipts or sign-up sheets are satisfactory as training completion  documentation.
    • Keep safety training documentation for the duration of each individual's employment. Training documentation for former employees is to be sent to Human Resources to remain on file according to federal statutes.
Provide employees with timely safety training. Make sure your employees receive appropriate safety training at these times:
  • During a new employee's initial orientation.
  • When major aspects of the job change or new materials or procedures are introduced.
  • When new hazards are identified.
  • Following any safety incident (injury, non-injury, or near-miss).
Use these resources and best practices to meet the challenge.

 
Follow these record-keeping guidelines.
  • Check your records periodically to make sure annual training requirements (if applicable) are met.
  • Keep safety training documentation easily accessible for audits/inspections.
