The Employee Development and Safety Division has responded to the need
for staff development by offering courses that would help us continuously
improve the way we do business.
The safety component within the division is responsible for conducting
accident investigations, assisting the Worker’s Compensation Division
in determining the causation and corrective action for injured/exposed
employees, performing periodic audits of all workplaces, and chairing
several safety-related boards.
In response to the ever growing need to develop and fine tune the skills
of managers and employees, our training program has created a full line
of Management and Employee Development programs. The two-tiered approach
allows us to target the important human aspects of an organization.
Management training and development is geared at leadership. By assisting
managers in sharpening their skills in communication, delegating, evaluating
performance and team building, managers become better leaders. The Employee
Development programs are focused on personal and professional growth of
the employee, ultimately resulting in a more focused, less stresses and
more productive work force. Here is an overview of our program:

4. OSHA Mandated Training- The Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 requires that each employer shall comply with occupational safety
and health standards promulgated under this act. Determining the content
of training for employees at a higher level of risk is similar to determining

of the job and the possibility of injury. The following subjects are mandated
for all affected employees:

assist employees to maintain and improve their personal life and work
environment. The following subjects listed below are available for all
