Health & Safety Policy
Health and Safety Policy
This section contains our Health and Safety Policy Statement and a list of responsibilities for each person in the organization.
Leadership and safety start at the top of our organizational chart. Management’s commitment, leadership, and involvement help to improve safety attitudes throughout the organization. The management group is committed to acting as exemplary examples of safety.
By signing the safety policy, management has demonstrated that they are prepared to do all that is necessary to ensure the success of the Safety Program. Our Health and Safety Policy Statement is laid out on the following page so that it can be copied and posted where appropriate. The Policy must be communicated to all current and new workers at safety training and orientation sessions.
Health and Safety Policy Statement
The personal health and safety of each of our employees is of primary importance. The prevention of injuries and illnesses will be given priority over operating productivity where necessary.
We will maintain an Occupational Health and Safety Program that starts with proper attitudes toward injury and illness prevention on the part of both supervisors and workers.
Employees at every level, including management, are responsible and accountable for our overall safety initiatives. Complete and active participation by everyone, every day, in every job is necessary for the safety excellence we expect.
Our objective is a Safety and Health Program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum. Our goal is zero accidents and injuries. In the event of injury or illness, we are committed to working with the employee to ensure his/her return to work as soon as it is safely possible.
We recognize that the responsibilities for safety and health are shared.
We are committed to providing active leadership and complete support for the Health and Safety Program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions.
Supervisors are responsible for developing the proper attitudes toward health and safety both in themselves and in those they supervise, and for ensuring that all operations are performed with the utmost regard for the health and safety of all personnel involved.
Workers are responsible for genuine cooperation with all aspects of the Health and Safety Program including compliance with all rules and requirements, and for continually practicing safety while performing their duties.
Everyone is expected to report all hazardous conditions and ensure that they are corrected.
We will all work together to prevent accidents.
