WESTERN REGION <br /> SAFETY POLICY <br /> Accidents are caused, they do not just happen. Therefore, we believe that nearly <br /> all accidents are preventable. Accidents destroy manpower and material <br /> resources. They are a waste of assets that we cannot afford. Because accidents <br /> are both preventable and wasteful, we want all employees to join with us and to <br /> participate in an aggressive, effective and continuing accident prevention and <br /> control program. <br /> To the best of our ability, we will provide the best equipment, the safety facilities, <br /> and necessary people to accomplish all our tasks safely and economically. <br /> The real power behind production without accidents is personal concern and <br /> motivation. We expect each supervisor, each driver and every single employee to <br /> be keenly interested in, and personally concerned in, our accident prevention <br /> program. The prevention of accidents is not someone else's concern, it is our <br /> concern and it is your concern. We expect each supervisor to provide for the <br /> prompt and aggressive investigation of accidents to determine their causes. We <br /> expect personal and prompt corrective action to be taken after each accident. <br /> Further, periodic safety inspections will be made of each work area to determine <br /> what corrective actions must be taken to insure a safe and healthful working <br /> environment. <br /> Each employee is, to a large degree, directly responsible for, and in control of , his <br /> personal safety both on and off the job. To promote the individual safety of each <br /> of us and those with whom we come in contract, rules and regulations must be <br /> adhered to. We expect each employee, from our most senior to our newest <br /> trainee, to comply with these regulations at all times. These safety regulations are <br /> designed with but one objective in mind-to keep from getting hurt or to avoid <br /> hurting others. <br /> The price of accidents and injuries in human suffering and in dollars and cents is <br /> high and rising! It can only be stopped and reduced if everyone knows, accepts <br /> and fully carries out accident prevention his own perso al responsibility. <br /> egion Vic- Presidr t Division President <br /> January 1, 1993 January 1, 1993 <br />
