Planning for End of Year Activities
With spring upon us, it's that time of the year again when schools gear up for end-of-year activities. From graduation ceremonies to field days, there is a lot to plan for. As you prepare, consider using PRISM's Risk Simplified guide on Preparing for Outdoor Activities. This guide can assist you in identifying potential hazards, ensuring that your events run smoothly and safely.

New Vector Solutions Course - Cal/OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens 
We have teamed up with Vector Solutions to create a series of courses designed to help PRISM members fulfill their Cal/OSHA training obligations. The inaugural course in this series, Cal/OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens, is now available for assignment on the Vector Solutions platform. This course helps satisfy the training requirements set forth in Cal/OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen standard and provides learners with the necessary knowledge to work safely when exposed to blood and other potentially infectious materials. Employers can also include their Bloodborne Pathogens policy, which addresses the requirement that employees review their particular workplace policy as part of the course. If you require assistance accessing the Vector Solutions LMS, the course material, or attaching policies, please contact Risk Control for assistance.
Entry Level Driver Training (ELDT)
Last year the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced new ELDT compliance requirements for individuals attempting to obtain or upgrade a commercial driver's license.  PRISM has partnered with Vector Solutions to offer a suite of 30 courses that meet the FMCSA theory (classroom) requirements. It is important to note that the behind the wheel training portion is the responsibility of the agency. As an authorized provider listed on the FMCSA's Training Provider Registry, upon successful course completion results are automatically submitted to the FMCSA. The 30-course package is now available on the Vector Solutions platform for PRISM members at a negotiated rate. Please contact Risk Control for additional information.
