2. Hazardous Substances. Any employee routinely exposed to hazardous substances or harmful physical agents as defined in Minn. Stat. Sec. 182.65 to 182.675 shall be trained before being assigned or reassigned work exposing the employee to such substances or agents and shall be given training annually thereafter. Training shall include an explanation of how and where information about hazards is stored in the workplace, how the hazards are labeled, and where to obtain specific information. The City Administrator shall provide for such training and for compliance with the "Minnesota Employee Right to Know Act of 1983," including the establishment of specific policies to insure compliance with the state law and regulations. An employee acting in good faith has the right to refuse to work under conditions, which the employee reasonably believes present, an imminent danger of death or serious physical harm to the employee. 3. Accidents. An employee, who has an accident while on City business or while operating a City vehicle, must take the following steps: (1) if the employee is qualified, assist any injured person. Otherwise, get assistance. (2) Call for an ambulance, if appropriate. (3) Call the Police Department if the accident involves a vehicle. (4) Obtain the names of witnesses to the accident. (5) Report the accident to the employee's supervisor and file any necessary reports. 4. Traffic Tickets. An employee who regularly drives a City vehicle as a part of the employee's job, and who receives a traffic ticket other than a parking ticket, must report the traffic ticket to the employee's supervisor during the employee's next work shift. This provision applies regardless of whether the ticket is received during or outside of work hours. VI-21
