Fire Commission adopts resolution requiring biennial harassment prevention training departmentwide
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted Resolution 2017-01 directing the Fire Department to administer the city's harassment-prevention training module to all uniformed and civilian employees, require completion for probationary new hires and align department training with California AB 1825.
The San Francisco Fire Commission on Feb. 8 adopted Resolution 2017-01 requiring the Fire Department to administer the city's harassment-prevention training module to all uniformed and civilian employees and to make completion a condition of passing probation for entry-level uniformed and new civilian hires.
The resolution cites the commission's support for citywide policies on discrimination, harassment and retaliation and references California law AB 1825 and the citywide compliance schedule. It requires supervisors to take the 2017 harassment-prevention program in accordance with the state timeline and sets the next departmentwide training for 2019 to coincide with the city schedule.
Commissioner Francie Covington moved the resolution and commissioners spoke in support of making the training standard practice for departmental culture and accountability. Commissioner Michael Hardiman clarified that the training will not be required during academy time but can be completed during work hours with supervisor approval.
The vote was unanimous.
