**training and Technical knowledge, skills and abilities HANDBOOK**

**FOR**

**Collateral Duty and Full Time Safety personnel**

[]{#Introduction .anchor}**Introduction**

This Handbook serves many purposes. First, it highlights the duties that
may be required of personnel serving in the safety and health program.
Managers can refer to it when assessing their safety support needs. It
can be used to ensure pertinent safety responsibilities are included in
position descriptions for full time and collateral duty assignments.
While the Handbook is intended to be comprehensive, this does not
preclude management from customizing duty assignments to meet the needs
of the organization. Sound management judgment should be applied when
using the Handbook as a reference to develop position documentation.

Secondly, the Handbook identifies the technical knowledge, skills, and
abilities associated with each of the duties. These are the knowledge,
skills, and abilities (KSAs) that employees must possess in order to
perform their functions effectively. Managers are encouraged to review
and consider the KSAs when assessing potential candidates in order to
make quality selections for these critical assignments.

The Handbook also identifies required and suggested training that will
equip employees with the technical KSAs. As such, the Handbook serves as
a developmental tool for employees striving to perform at optimum level.
Safety personnel are strongly urged to pursue developmental activities
related to all of their duties. They should work with their managers
when deciding which KSAs to prioritize first. This Handbook provides a
framework for making these important professional development decisions.
Specific courses are suggested to develop skills and abilities. However,
a similar training course that covers the objectives satisfactorily may
be substituted.

While the Handbook focuses on the required technical KSAs, managers
should also be cognizant of the many leadership and program management
competencies that are important in carrying out these critical duties.
Among these leadership competencies are: interpersonal skills, ability
to lead, skill in organizing and prioritizing work, and ability to
invoke enthusiasm and support from others. These additional competencies
should be considered when identifying or selecting candidates for these
critical positions/roles.

If you have any questions as you utilize this tool, please contact your
bureau safety manager or servicing personnel office.
