Pro-active management includes Supervisory leadership and control to change unproductive activities. Conformance with safety policies, rules and regulations is a necessary component of our Safety Program which is monitored by all Supervisors. Our system for ensuring that all employees comply with safe and healthful work practices includes the following activities:
- Employee safety responsibilities are communicated during initial orientation by use of our Company Safety Rules and Safe Work Practices.
- Safety rules and regulations are reviewed with employees by Supervisors and part of the documented Employee Safety Training Process.
- Safety and Health Committee members review all safety matters pertaining to policy, administration or program development.
- Documented verbal warnings and reprimands are issued and carried out by Supervisors.
- Supervisors understand and enforce safety rules as a part of their job, and handle these no differently than any other work rule enforcement. This process may involve coaching, counseling, verbal or written reprimands and discipline in the form of suspension and/or termination.
SAFETY COMMITTEE
Safety Committees are the core of most effective and viable Safety Programs. These are crucial to providing policy oversight, reviewing program effectiveness and initiating program changes or corrections. Our Company’s Safety Committee serves as the leadership group for evaluating and addressing all safety and health matters. In conforming to Cal-OSHA requirements, the Safety and Health Committee carries out various safety management duties, including, but limited to:
- Scheduling and conducting periodic worksite inspections. Results of such inspections are submitted to the Safety Committee members and discussed through resolution by the Chairperson.
- Reviewing causes of incidents resulting in injury, illness or adverse exposure.
- Investigating any alleged hazardous conditions brought to the attention of any Safety Committee member by Supervisors or employees.
- Evaluating suggestions for achieving improvements in safety or health matters.
- Sponsoring special safety campaigns and other informational program activities.
- The above activities are undertaken by our Company to ensure that a safe and healthful working environment is provided for all employees. The safety and health of our employees continues to be the first consideration in the operation of our business.
