[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1056884, member: 14668"] 1. Many of the helpers I have worked with had little or no meaningful DIAD training. I would take a few minutes (ON the clock of course) to demonstrate proper use of the DIAD in order to help them become more effective. Yes its the companys responsibility to train them, and since I work for the company and am ON the clock if need be I will pick up the training where HR left off during their orientation. Am I "required" to do it? No. Is it the right thing to do anyway? Yes. 2. Yes the company is responsible for their initial safety training, but if I observe the helper working unsafely I feel that it is my responsibility to correct that behavior. As a driver, I am "captain of the ship" and I dont want anyone getting hurt on my watch. Obviously I am not personally liable if a helper violates safety procedures and injures themself, but I [I]do[/I] have an obligation to speak out to them if I witness unsafe behavior. And as the driver, I [B]am[/B] responsible for making sure that I dont move the vehicle until they are buckled in. [/QUOTE]
