ABOUT US: QUALITY CONSISTENCY PLAN
- All infractions of policy will be documented in writing.
- When an infraction is noted, the person who observed it and the one
who committed it will first discuss and then report the infraction.
- Infractions occur where an individual fails to act in accord with unit
goals.
a. Allowing training level/current certifications to lapse
b. Abandoning a task
c. Deviating from a task without notifying base
d. Avoiding appropriate safety equipment
e. Permitting gear to become unserviceable
f. Ignoring or trying to surpass limitations
g. Deliberate non-communication
h. Not following directions
i. Any behavior which causes liability issues
- The first infraction will involve a reminder or a brief discussion
to make sure the individual understands the requirements. This infraction
will be documented; a copy will go to the Search And Rescue Council
chairperson.
- The second infraction for the same type of incident will involve
participation in the next available training session pertinent to the type
of infraction. Escalation of intervention may be stronger if it seems
needed by the board. An infraction of a different type of issue will be
dealt with as a first infraction.
Example: 06/01/04 Zeke refuses to answer radio= infraction 1
06/04/04 Zeke refuses to answer radio= infraction 2
06/19/04 Zeke responds to a search, but certification for First
Aid/CPR expired
06/15/04= infraction 1
- The third infraction for the same type of incident will be dealt
with by the board. Depending on the member's general attitude and
experience level, the board may
a. require additional training or proof of additional training
b. require the member to pass a written examination on the subject
matter
pertinent to the infraction
c. demote the member to a lower state of readiness
d. remove the member from participation in Summit to Sound activities
- Accumulation of more than 5 first infractions will be a signal that
the member needs additional training or counseling. Any member having 5
first infractions will be given a courtesy notification that this level of
performance needs to change. The board may begin using the same steps used
for a third-time infraction to assist the member to learn how to work
safely and effectively.
- Minor infractions which are not repeated for a period of three
years "reset the clock" on the infraction count and process of
remediation/training
