Documentation provided as part of the EH&S Program includes a Program Activities Manual, a Rules and Regulations manual, an Annual Reports Summary manual and annual DCFL reporting documents.  The Program Activities Manual is updated follow each site visit.   A new Annual Report Summary manual is prepared each year and includes all reports and data prepared for the previous program year. 

All elements of the program are computer based for ease of use and hard copies are maintained at member locations.  This includes the actual site-specific health and safety programs designed for the District. District personnel can monitor and maintain the program with minimal time and effort via our website. 

Once the District’s new E/OHS Program is in place, AirTech's on-site health and safety technician will begin program maintenance site visits.  During this period, our representative will monitor the program's effectiveness by performing regular site inspections and will continue to update all program materials.  If necessary, additional programs are added or existing programs modified for the duration of our agreement period in order to maintain compliance with regulatory changes.
