Summary

The department uses the Occupational Safety Manual and this handbook to prescribe the safety standards and safe work practices that department employees are expected to follow. The requirements set forth in this handbook may exceed the minimum standard of care required of department employees by law.

The handbook condenses the safety standards and safe practices of Chapter 7 to a handbook format and is issued to all employees. A primary duty of all departmental supervisors is to enforce these requirements.
