Description of Employee Training
<br />AT&T Environmental, Health, and Safety (AT&T-EHS) is dedicated to ensuring safe, healthy, and
<br />environmentally friendly work environment. The ATT-EHS website provides employees a resource of work-
<br />related environmental, health, and safety information, policies, job aids, training, and general information.
<br />The supervising manager is responsible for ensuring direct reporting employees satisfactorily complete the
<br />training necessary to perform their assigned job duties in a safe, healthy, and environmentally responsible
<br />manner; and as required by federal, state and local regulation. Employees at all levels are responsible for
<br />actively participating in required training as scheduled, for learning the appropriate procedures and their
<br />application, and for seeking additional information if the covered material is not understood.
<br />The training program includes internal job aids and practices to ensure training development, certification,
<br />tracking, and record keeping are appropriately managed.
<br />AT&T web -based training courses are available on Learning Solutions (LSO), Learning Management Center
<br />(LMC), or Learning Edge systems. The learning systems are available to all AT&T Employee's during normal
<br />operating hours. The Learning Solutions (LSO) is AT&T Mobility's main learning management system for
<br />related training requirements AT&T employees can view the catalog of available training opportunities, enroll in
<br />instructor -led courses, take online courses, and view and update their transcripts. Most courses are online
<br />self-directed courses and interactive courses that can be completed anytime. Employees are able to access
<br />these systems using their internal User ID and password and appropriately review and complete the training
<br />course(s). Upon the employee completing a course, the learning system will automatically date stamp the
<br />completion of the course for record-keeping purposes and future retrieval. Records are kept on-line.
<br />Training for various types of work activity are specified on training matrices found on the AT&T-EH&S web
<br />page. Each training matrix represents a different type of work activity, and specifies the training required for
<br />exposures the employee may encounter while performing work.
<br />Established training matrices list courses required for employees depending on their job function. If an
<br />employee has multiple job responsibilities, he/she may be required to take training from more than one matrix.
<br />Example training matrices fall under administrative & office, construction & operations, supply logistics &
<br />warehouse, and vehicle maintenance & repair work. Each training matrix has multiple tabs and lists required
<br />courses, training frequency (i.e. initial, annual, every 3 -years, etc.), permissible equivalent training methods,
<br />and other specifics for course completion.
<br />Typical training courses required for AT&T Mobility Network Operations field technicians conducting work at
<br />AT&T Mobility cellular sites include: Hazard Recognition AND Communication (i.e. for all employees who may
<br />be exposed to hazardous chemicals, MSDS, etc.), Electrical hazards, Small Chemical Spill Clean-up,
<br />Emergency Preparedness, Fire Extinguisher Safety, Lifting, Lock -Out -Out -Tag Out, Personal Protective
<br />Equipment, Hazard Materials Safety, Preventing Heat and Cold Stress, and Work Place Safety. Also, for
<br />AT&T-EHS related emergencies, field staff is trained to call the AT&T-EHS hotline @ 1-800-KNOW-EHS for
<br />appropriate direction.
