It is critical to monitor correct saw operation procedures by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Instructors, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Evaluators (FSM 2358.04h and 2358.04i) and assess trends in saw accidents, near misses, and changes in learning techniques. Saw program monitoring and evaluation may include the following: 1. Reviewing a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ certification level and, if needed, training records to verify that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is cutting within the ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ certification level. 2.

Reporting results of monitoring and evaluation, including any recommendations, to the Saw Program Coordinator, Regional Saw Program Manager, or National Saw Program Manager, as appropriate. 9. Annually reviewing eSafety data associated with saw use to determine trends in saw accidents and possible corrective actions. 10. Reviewing recordkeeping procedures for currency and accuracy.
