Funny you should post this today--I just delivered our annual safety training to secondary science teachers. Approximately ten of our 80 secondary science teachers (district-wide) missed the Right-to-Know training for legitimate reasons. They contacted me in advance. In fact, most of them had the same conflicting meeting to attend. I will arrange one make-up meeting for them, but invite anyone who missed (kind of a "free pass"). Any who miss the make-up will be reported to their principal. I realize this seems heavy-handed ("if you blow off safety training, I will hunt you down. I will find you.") I tell the building principal that an untrained employee is a safety hazard. Seems like this is the only way to get some folks to take this trainng seriously. Edward J.

There always seem to be the few employees that invariably are no shows for the trainings. Thanks in advance for your replies...
