Re: Not Highway Trained ? ? ?

Just curious ... for companies that choose not to attend a formal safety training program, what on-highway safety training do you provide in-house? Does that include attending the national Traffic Incident Management Course?  Your input is most welcome.       R.

To meet the requirements for the NJSP all operators must be TIMs trained. We were letting those who weren't do the on-line course through The Responder Safety Network. A local fire company held a live TIMS class put on by NJDOT and I had 5 of us attend. We enjoyed it and got so much out of it that I am hosting the same class and mandate that all of our employees attend it on our dime.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many people fail to value training and education. I attended an OSHA 30 class thislast week, and learned so much about record keeping and documentation. I learned that I do not know half of what I need to know.

Safe to assume you highly recommend the 30 Hr OSHA Class?

It really opened my eyes to the importance of record keeping as in documenting training.
