ValleyCrest C O M P A N I E S VALLEYCREST TRAINING INITIATIVES ValleyCrest Companies recognizes the importance of training its employees and has established a training program to fit the needs of the company. As with any training program, training offered to ValleyCrest employees should be considered a "work in progress" as an employee's ability and need to learn safer, better and more effective ways to accomplish his /her job is never fully completed. One of the most effective methods for preventing accidents and incidents is by providing comprehensive and consistent training throughout an employee's term of employment. Upon presentation of appropriate training all employees, regardless of position, must be held accountable to follow the policies and procedures addressed in the training. NEW EMPLOYEE TRAINING (ORIENTATION) New employees have the potential to create an unsafe condition both to themselves and to other employees due to inexperience and a higher risk of committing unsafe acts. In order to minimize the potential risk to our employees, provide the safest possible work environment and in order to comply with Federal and State requirements, each new employee will attend a "New Employee Safety Orientation" training program before starting work, or as required by new job /task. Both field operations and office -based employees are required to participate in safety orientation. Safety orientation programs appropriate to field operations and office safety are available. These training programs shall be administered by either the Branch Manager or the Branch Safety Officer (or their designee) for field employees, and by the office manager (or their designee) for office -based employees, and shall cover a review of all safety policies, procedures and rules. Each employee shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the covered materials and must complete this course before the employee starts his/her first day of work. This training shall be documented on the appropriate form and these records maintained with the employees personnel records. It is mandatory that all new employees receive training in the following areas within the first 90 days of employment: Bloodborne Pathogens, Fire Safety, Hazard Communication, Lockout/Tagout and Personal Protective Equipment. OPERATION SPECIFIC TRAINING Although ValleyCrest strives to provide consistent training to all of their employees, varying work requirements will dictate that some job - specific training, which will vary from division to division, must be accomplished. Training programs for the differing operational groups has been established and is as important to employee growth and safety as are the corporate training initiatives. Various elements of this job - specific training (gardener, technician, arborist, construction, etc.) are to be incorporated into the New Employee Orientation training. # o Vai!eyCrest Landsca;:;- 16400 N'VV 1271!-: ,r: < Miami, FL 33�!
