SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR TRAINING

Individual supervisors are responsible for identifying job-specific hazards employees under their direction may be subjected to in the course of their duties and for providing appropriate safety training (which may not involve EH&S). That training is specific to each shop and studio, dependent on the equipment and materials they have and various processes in use. Remember to document all safety training with a dated sign-in sheet and brief description of the material covered. If it isn't documented, it didn't happen.
