Training
Onboarding Curriculum
The WSC Legal Services and Risk Mitigation department created safety awareness training for members new to the WSC team. Delivered through Wright Service Corp. University, new employees learn to recognize potential hazards within the office and how to work safely. Additionally, new employees are introduced to the Emergency Action Plan which contains the steps to take to keep themselves and their co-workers safe in the event of an emergency.
On-Site Response Team
The Legal Services and Risk Mitigation department organized an onsite response team at the WSC corporate office with the goal of having trained employees onsite in case of emergencies. The team includes nine employees from different departments and have designated areas they are assigned to within the building. They meet periodically, receive training, and are involved in the planning and performance of emergency drills.
A first responder is:
- Prepared to take action during emergencies.
- Expected to be available at the office on a regular basis.
- Required to work with the Legal Services and Risk Mitigation department for evaluation and enhancement of the Emergency Action Plan.
- Expected to collaborate in trainings.
- Required to keep a CPR, first aid, & AED certification; with additional training to be provided at company expense.
In 2023, the onsite response team coordinated a tornado drill and a fire drill to provide education and enhance the preparedness of staff in the event of an emergency. Team members also completed several trainings this year, including fire extinguisher training, EMS ambulance preparedness, stop-the-bleed training and other emergency response courses. The team collaborated with local law enforcement and EMS to ensure coordinated responses in emergency situations.
