The Department is holding a workshop for the purpose of exploring options with the public for the implementation of new programs of study and vocational courses relating to standards for Safety Officer Qualifications. The workshop may also include a general discussion of a proposed Safety Officer Program including length of programs, content of programs, instructor requirements, prerequisite requirements, certification requirements, and proposed rule development in that regard. This workshop will take input from affected persons as to what rule amendments are necessary to implement this statutory change.
