What is the role of a Designated Supervisor under Class 314?

• A. To schedule payroll and HR tasks.
• B. To manage pest control vendor relationships.
• C. To oversee incident reporting but not training.
• D. To oversee compliance, coordinate training, and manage incident reporting.

Answer: (D)

The key function of a Designated Supervisor under Class 314 is to ensure safety and regulatory standards are met across the operation. This means overseeing overall compliance with applicable rules, coordinating and tracking the training that staff must receive, and managing how incidents are reported, investigated, and documented. These duties work together to maintain a safe environment, ensure staff are competent, and provide a clear process for addressing any safety events or near-misses. While administrative tasks like payroll or HR, or vendor management, fall outside the core supervisory role, and incident reporting alone doesn’t drive prevention, the combination of compliance oversight, training coordination, and incident reporting best captures what the Designated Supervisor is responsible for.
