Safety — Company Mission Statement

TO ALL EMPLOYEES, SUBCONTRATORS, AND VENDORS

 

The management of this company is committed to the combined goal of Safety, Quality, and Productivity.  The safety goal for this company is Zero Accidents.  Management strives to promote a workplace environment in which employees will be trained and motivated to work with other employees for continuous improvement toward this goal.

 

Management will set a personal example for safe behavior, show its commitment to safety, and enforce safe operations and job procedures.  Management practices will include: setting safety goals; establishing and monitoring safety accountability and discipline systems; and planning for safety.  Planning for safety included: identifying job hazards in advance; setting priorities for safety along with productivity, quality, and scheduling; and eliminating unsafe shortcuts of methods. Training is recognized by management as a key element in reducing accidents.  Management will provide informal and formal training for all employees including new employees.   This training will include, but is not limited to training on new equipment or work practices, on non-routine or high hazards operations, on the proper use of personal protective equipment, and on emergency procedures.

 

Management also expects employees to be responsible for their safety, as well as, the safety of other employees.  The first step in meeting this expectation is for employees to read and follow the guidelines outlined in the following Safety and Health Manual.  Secondly employees must be aware of and eliminate their own unsafe acts.  Finally employees must identify and eliminate unsafe conditions, caused by their actions or the actions of others, before the unsafe conditions cause accidents.

 

In closing, the guidelines outline in the Safety and Health Manual are minimal guidelines.  If a situation arises that an employee deems unsafe for themselves or others, yet is not covered in the guidelines, the employee should bring the situation to the attention of management.  If the employee deems the situation to be immediately dangerous to life or health, an employee should not continue to work, until the situation has been discussed with management and appropriate actions taken.

 

 

 

By working together management and employees can control the hazards that are involved in their jobs and reduce or eliminate accidents and injuries in the workplace. 

This joint effort will result in a safer environment for all involved.
