Training & Safety Program IDTo assist in providing a safe and healthy work environment for employees, clients and students, SFM Services has established a workplace safety program. This program is a top priority for SFM. The Human Resources Department has the responsibility of implementing, administering, monitoring and evaluating the safety program. Its success depends on the alertness and personal commitment of all. We offer in-house training, both classroom and field/ OJT (on the job training), as well as participate in trainings and seminars offered by the UF Extension offices in Homestead and Davie, Florida. Many of our staff are BPM and FNGLA certified. When new employees are hired, they watch training videos with all safety procedures. Signed verification forms of them having seen a video before they start working is kept in their file. Several of SFM's management is also certified - a in Maintenance of Traffic i!'

Each employee is expected to obey safety rules and exercise caution in all work activities. Employees must immediately report any unsafe condition to the appropriate supervisor. Employees who violate safety standards, who cause hazardous or dangerous situations, or who fail to report, or, where appropriate, remedy such situations, may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. SFM has a Safety Committee Organization as a management tool to recommend improvements to our workplace safety program and to identify corrective measures needed to eliminate or control recognized safety and health hazards. Management will give top priority to and provide the financial resources for the correction of unsafe conditions. kc. r L.__ ,.
