The Employer will provide employees with information, including relevant care plans and behavioral support interventions, existing problem-solving tools, and strategies to improve safe care delivery. Employees are obligated to review relevant client/resident/student information and to complete training as assigned and within established timeframes. The Employer shall make a good faith effort to notify employees of any inherent health or safety risks prior to an assignment. Employees will immediately report to the Employer any working condition that the employee believes threatens or endangers the health or safety of the employee or client(s).
