-
With full staffing and new programs in place it is
anticipated that the percentage attending required training will increase in
FY 2003.
-
Outcome measures were changed in FY 2002 to capture a
wider range of screening tests, to include pre-employment and periodic
screenings in addition to hearing for police and fire. This resulted in a much larger number of
abnormals.
-
OSHA training and numbers screened will increase due to
addition of new groups at risk. Some
numbers are duplicate counts with individuals receiving more than one
training/screening. The percentage of
required trainings attended, however, is not based on a duplicated count.
