TOOLS AND SHOP SAFETY

When working with any type of tool, be it hand held or power, employees must understand how to properly and safely operate it. At the university, supervisors must have evidence of employee training on the proper use of each piece of equipment. This is true for any existing or new tool that is introduced to your department. Evidence of training can include a roster from a training session, a signed statement from the employee acknowledging the training occurred, and should always include the information provided during the training.
