Scene 32

Short Service Employees are workers who have less than 6 months 
experience with Rumble and/or in their position. This program also 
applies to employees under 25 years of age.

Whether they are new to Rumble or new to the industry, Short Service 
Employees are at an increased risk of getting injured on the job. The 
purpose of this program is to safeguard and prevent work-related 
injuries/illnesses by providing SSE’s with the skills they need to do their 
jobs safely and protect themselves and their co-workers from injury.

Rumble will provide the worker with necessary training to perform their 
work safely and efficiently. This structured training and evaluation 
program is to develop competency in the workplace and promote safe 
work practices for all workers. The SSE will be coached by an 
experienced mentor. Once competence is verified for all core skills, the 
worker will be released from the SSE status and will be given a Rumble 
Industries sticker to go over their existing SSE hard hat sticker.

Short Service Employees are prohibited from working on high hazard 
jobs without Supervisor approval.
