All employees regardless of experience are required to read and complete the ARS Corp training manual sections applicable to job responsibilities.

Training Program Description.

The purpose of this program is to provide safety criteria for our employees engaged in all operations. Various methods are used to train employees. Although skills and knowledge are largely gained through on the job training and experience, there is additional training available to assist the training process. Instructors, trainers, supervision and foremen administer ongoing training to help employees gain skills; advance within the company; and to review policies and procedures. Personnel authorized by the company managers verify achievement of skills. All training shall be documented by written tests, verification of skills records, certification cards and training class attendance sheets. Training records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years after employment ends. Training updates may replace older training records for active employees. Company certification enhances legal requirements and in no way replaces any required license or state certification. The ARS training program has been developed using OSHA 1910.269, ANSI Z133.1 and other industry recommendations and regulations.

Retraining at the discretion of management may be required following an incident investigation, disciplinary action or evaluation showing misuse, insufficient skill or understanding. When equipment that is unfamiliar to employees is used all affected employees SHALL be trained in the hazards, safe operation, inspection and use of the equipment. This training will meet or exceed all OSHA, state and manufacturer requirements. Employees will be trained whenever presented with unfamiliar or non-routine tasks.

This training will include the hazards, procedures and work practices of these tasks.

The ARS Training program is designed to be used as a guide to train employees in the knowledge and skills involved in their specific work assignments. The materials contained in this program are to be used to assist in training employees in the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their work safely. The program is divided into certification sections that each includes different individual training components.

Each component consists of skills verification and knowledge tests.

Each individual employee shall review the information in the sections that pertain to their work assignments and complete the assessment tests. This review can be done in classroom setting, in a group or individually..
