SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
People are our most important asset - their safety is our greatest
responsibility. This safety program, developed to assume
compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations, is our
commitment to protect our employees against occupational injury or
illness, and to prevent property damage and interruption of
operations. This commitment extends to the protection of those we
serve, the general public.
Management and supervisory personnel will be accountable for the
safety of the employees working under their supervision.
Supervisors are expected to see that all operations are conducted
in a safe manner at all times.
As employees, you have a responsibility to yourself for your own
safety, and also to your family, fellow employees, and the
community. All employees are expected to follow safe procedures
and take no unnecessary chances. You are required to use all
safeguards and safety equipment provided, and make safety a part of
your job.
Good safety records reflect the quality of management, supervision,
and the work force. Our policy is to accomplish work in the safest
possible manner consistent with good work practices. Management at
every level is charged with the task of translating this policy
into positive action.
