The company I work for had an ISO Auditor come in to perform our ISO Training. He suggested that we make all of out Job Descriptions as short and concise as possible. He gave an an example Job Description Form (length = 1 page) which included the following items:
Position Title:
Reports To:
Supervises:
Job Summary:
Job Responsibilities:
Job Skill Requirements:
It is a good form-- very short and sweet. However, on the form, he does not specify any physical / mental capabilities (ie -- "Up to 1/3 of the time sitting, 1/3 to 2/3 walking, 2/3 or more standing" or "Mathematics: Basic math and trigonometry") or working conditions (ie -- "Moderate noise levels, occasionally exceed 65 decibels" or "Up to 1/3 of the time exposed to moving machinery, fumes or airborne particles, toxic or caustic chemicals"). It seems like these specifics are important in a machining or manufacturing industry (especially for the safety of the employee), but if I do add all of these specifics, my job descriptions end up being 3 to 4 pages, as opposed to our ISO Trainers example form which is only one page.
Are these specifics things that I have to include? Are they things that could be included elsewhere? I'd rather not put them in if I don't have to, but I don't want to jeapordize the safety of our employees.
Any information would help.
Thanks,
Amy Lynn
