Learn about the safety training obligations of UCSD supervisors. |
The Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) outlines supervisors’ responsibilities for their employees’ safety training. According to the IIPP, supervisors must:
- Ensure that employees attend one of the following Injury & Illness Prevention training sessions at least once:
- Identify specific hazards your employees may be exposed to on the job
- Ensure that each employee successfully completes required training for the type of work being done
- Evaluate employee safety training at least annually with each employee as part of the annual performance appraisal process
- Document all safety training your employees attend, including supervisor-led training
- Keep safety training documentation for the duration of each individual's employment
|
|
Provide employees with timely safety training. |
Make sure your employees receive appropriate safety training at these times:
- During a new employee's initial orientation
- When major aspects of the job change or new materials or procedures are introduced
- When new hazards are identified
|
|
Use these resources and best practices to meet the challenge. |
- Read Safety Training Overview for a discussion of required versus recommended training.
- Use the Safety Training Directory to identify and access required and recommended safety training programs and resources appropriate for your employees and student workers.
- Make any safety training deficiencies goals for the upcoming performance appraisal cycle.

Follow these record-keeping guidelines. |
