Record of Review

Effective 1/1/00, the record of review will be handled as follows: Quarterly, the IUM ISM coordinator will send out a “Record of Review” memo to prompt the quarterly review of all or specified Company policy and procedure manuals. This prompt sheet will have a place for all officers to initial that they have reviewed the subject manuals.

The completed prompt sheet will be filed in the "Record of Review" section of the "ISM Record & Guidelines" binder, (most recent on top) with a copy sent to the IUM ISM Coordinator each quarter.
