Training of New Employees In compliance with Diamond’s internationally Certified Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSAS – 18001:2007), all training and competency standards are audited, tracked and monitored.
Training is conducted for elected representatives and management representatives on an ‘as-required’ basis. Wherever possible this takes place outside of regular work hours and in the case of an employee the person is compensated for their time.
Day to day training (refresher) of the workforce occurs as part of Diamond’s standard induction procedures, Standard Operating Procedures, Post Orders and drills / exercises. Any deficiencies are recorded and a request for retraining is submitted by the supervisor to the appropriate member of the management team. Such training may occur at the request of a client, the introduction of new legislation or the emergence of a site specific issue. As training levels are added to or updated, Diamond adds the information into our rostering / payroll system, our skills matrixes onsite and sends memoranda, notices and newsletters to staff.
All training records and stored on our electronic Diamond Intelligent Communication System (DICS) which provides real time reporting to management and client. OH&S and Environmental Awareness Training will be ongoing throughout the duration of any contract or project. Training is facilitated through Toolbox meetings. Attendance at toolbox meetings is mandatory for all team members. Other safety training includes: first aid, fire and emergency procedures, hygiene, hazard identification, health/safety and reporting procedures.
All training is recorded on training log systems and a copy sent to Diamond’s office. Records are stored on our new IT program portal. Training program(s) are formulated for Senior Management, Workplace Health & Safety Representatives, OH&S Representatives and Supervisors. Staff Induction and Training Programs are a critical component to the success of any contract performance. If staff are not properly inducted and fail to receive ongoing training then issues will occur with the service delivery.
