<br />Emereencv Response Team Personnel Readiness <br /> <br />AMX is a company who takes pride in professionalism. AMX can only maintain and improve this stature of <br />professionalism through AMX employees. Just like the equipment, the employees need to maintain a level of <br />readiness at all times. Professionalism among the people that work for AMX is the backbone of our company. <br />Professional is the one word that describes all of the AMX employees. To maintain that professionalism AMX has <br />adopted a standard of conduct, appearance, training, physical readiness and mental readiness. <br /> <br />Conduct <br /> <br />AMX takes pride in its work and holds itself to the highest professional code of conduct. All employees are <br />representatives of AMX, therefore each employee is held to the highest professional code of conduct. The highest <br />legal, moral and ethical standards of honesty, integrity and fairness are to be practiced while conducting AMX <br />affairs. All employees of AMX must always act in full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, <br />And act in full compliance of AMX policies and procedures. Failure to do so or to report promptly apparent or <br />evident violations of laws or this policy may result in dismissal or other disciplinary actions. <br /> <br />Appearance <br /> <br />Since we are a business with public exposure, our professional appearance and demeanor are direct reflections of <br />our organization. These standards will be expected on the job unless a specific notice is issued. <br /> <br />Employees that work on an emergency response must wear the AMX uniform, which includes blue AMX Nomex <br />Coveralls, AMX hard hat, and steel-toe, lace-up work boots. All articles should be clean and pressed or shined, with <br />tears repaired. Excessively worn or stained uniforms will need to be replaced. <br /> <br />All AMX emergency response team members may be required to don a respirator or SCBA, therefore all response <br />personnel are required to be clean-shaven in accordance with OSHA 40 CFR 1910.120. <br /> <br />Trainine <br /> <br />AMX has committed itself to bettering the knowledge of its employees through various courses, either in-house <br />training or outside training facilities. The minimum requirement for emergency response team members is a 24- <br />hour HAZWOPER, response technician training course. (AMX will give the additional ]6 hours of training during <br />orientation and training thus equaling 40 hours of Hazwoper training). An 8-hour HAZWOPER training course will <br />be given annually, along with job required training (I.e. site specific training, forklift training, etc.). Each employee <br />of AMX is given the opportunity to learn how AMX works. Through on-the-job training, each employee can learn <br />paperwork procedures, policies, management skills, equipment operations, equipment repairs, clean up techniques, <br />Industrial Hygiene monitoring skills, and a multitude of other skills related to emergency response. It is up to the <br />employee to ask questions and learn these valuable skills. Administrative tasks (I.e. report writing, daily work <br />tickets, site safety, etc.) should be learned as soon as possible and is required for advancement. <br /> <br />Only employees who have shown potential and enthusiasm in their day-to-day task earn additional schools. The <br />right to attend these classes is based on attendance, willingness to work, dedication, work ethic, professionalism, <br />willingness to learn, desire to advance through hard work, on the job training, foreman, and project manager input. <br />Some ofthe schools available are listed below: <br /> <br />Industrial Fire Fighting <br />Marine Fire Fighting <br />Basic Tank Car Specialist <br />Foam School <br /> <br />42 <br />
