This follow -up provides an opportunity to assess the overall performance of the employee. <br />Based on evaluation, it will usually be found that one of the following situations exists: <br />• The employee is performing safely and efficiently and needs little further instruction. <br />• The employee is not performing satisfactorily, however, it appears additional training and <br />reinforcement will be sufficient. <br />The employee's performance is unsatisfactory to the degree that they should be dismissed. This <br />option must be examined thoroughly and well documented. <br />Appropriate action should be taken based on the evaluation. Additional follow -up is left to the discretion of <br />the supervisor. <br />HOW TO TRAIN EXISTING EMPLOYEES <br />Employees Reassigned To a New Job <br />Whenever existing employees are transferred to a new job, they should be given proper formal job <br />instructions as outlined above. <br />Other Employees <br />All employees should be given a periodic retraining, particularly when it is observed that they are working <br />in an unsafe manner. OSHA required safety training should be given annually, thereafter, from its initial <br />date of instruction. <br />On The .lob Training <br />The value of working with a designated, experienced person(s) to observe and reinforce the proper <br />techniques is clear. The person to whom a trainee is assigned should be one who knows the job <br />thoroughly, is a safe operator, and has the ability and willingness to train. This individual may not <br />necessarily be the best or most productive employee. <br />DOCUMENTATION OF TRAINING <br />Each time an employee receives a training session; their attendance should be documented by the <br />person conducting the training session and signed by the employee. Any additional information i.e., tests, <br />videos, certificates, should be filed. The documentation and filing of training is mandatory. Without <br />documentation, training may not be properly verified. <br />Training which involved the use of performance -based standards such as equipment operation (front <br />loader, rear loader, recycling truck, van, etc.) should highlight hours of operation as we[[ as instruction. <br />The qualifications of the trainers should be on file and must be greater in overall knowledge than those <br />being instructed. Driver qualification forms are to be placed in the DOT files. <br />Sc:. 2.20 <br />
