Employee Safety

The management of this organization is committed to providing employees with a safe and healthy workplace. It is the policy of this organization that employees report unsafe conditions and do not perform work tasks if the work is considered unsafe. Employees must report all accidents, injuries, and unsafe work conditions to their supervisors. No such report will result in retaliation, penalty or other disincentive.

Employee recommendations to improve safety and health conditions will be given thorough consideration by our management team. Management will give top priority to and provide the financial resources for the correction of unsafe conditions. Similarly, management will take disciplinary action against any employee who willfully or repeatedly violates workplace safety rules. This action may include verbal or written reprimands and may result in termination of employment.

The primary responsibility for coordination, implementation and maintenance of the workplace safety program has been assigned to the Safety Coordinator. 

Management will be actively involved with employees in establishing and maintaining an effective safety program. The Safety Program Coordinator, Alternate, or other members of the management team will participate with you or your department’s employee representative in ongoing safety and health program activities, which include:

•    Promoting safety committee participation

•    Providing safety and health education and training

•    Reviewing and updating workplace policies and procedures

This policy statement serves to express management’s commitment to and involvement in providing employees with a safe and healthy workplace. This workplace safety program will be incorporated as the standard of practice for this organization. Compliance with the safety rules will be required of all employees as a condition of employment.
