Ensuring that everyone meets necessary training requirements is a cooperative effort. Each department at Iowa State is responsible for ensuring that employees have completed all safety training requirements. Departments are also responsible for meeting all regulatory requirements, as well as keeping work areas hazard-free. Supervisors are responsible for providing and documenting the initial and continuing safety training necessary to allow employees to perform their work safely. This must include frequent work observations by the supervisor and prompt correction of unsafe work habits.
Employees are responsible for performing their work in a safe and responsible manner.
Knowledge of appropriate safe work procedures and safety rules is essential. Employees are expected to obey established safety rules and to maintain hazard-free work areas by correcting unsafe conditions or reporting them to their supervisors.
