a. Safety. The commission shall establish regulations creating standardized safety certifications for industry employees, requiring that each company annually conduct regular safety trainings for its employees and ensuring that all new employees are properly trained. The commission shall establish the curriculum of such safety training, including the topics to be covered by such training and the number of hours required to receive a certificate for such training, provided that such topics shall be related to safeguarding the public from potential dangers posed by the trade waste industry. Such training curriculum shall include, but is not limited to, a defensive driving course using vehicles or a driving simulating technology to be approved by the commission. To receive a license pursuant to section 2103(b), each employer shall provide safety training to each employee.

The commission shall promulgate rules permitting such employee to transfer such certificate any company within the city who maintains such license.
b. Air quality. The commission may by rule establish allowable levels of emissions of harmful or objectionable substances, noise, and other impacts for collection vehicles. The commissioner may by rule require verification that trade waste vehicles comply with section 24-163.11 of the administrative code.
