Rule of the Week Challenge helps keep team sharp

Belt University is driving a new approach to employee learning through its Rule of the Week Challenge, an initiative designed to reinforce knowledge while broadening understanding across departments.

Director of Safety and Compliance Mark Labbe said the program builds on the safety bulletin, which returned in late 2025.

Each cycle, the challenge presents questions from the Command Center and the Mechanical, Engineering, Transportation departments. On occasion, a fifth question is added to expand coverage or address timely topics.

Employees complete the questions through the Belt website and receive immediate feedback on their responses. If an incorrect answer is given, additional learning material is provided.

Labbe said the goal is to support ongoing development and strengthen familiarity with rules and procedures across the organization.

He adds that it can help employees prepare for annual rules classes while giving them exposure to responsibilities and practices outside of their own departments.
