COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT The compliance of all employees with our Safety Manual / IIPP is mandatory and shall be considered a condition of employment. The following programs will be utilized to ensure employee compliance with the safety program and all safety rules. • Training programs • Retraining • Disciplinary action • Optional safety incentive programs Training Programs The importance of safe work practices and the consequences of failing to abide by safety rules will be covered in the New Employee Safety Orientation and safety meetings.This will help ensure that all employees understand and abide by company safety policies. Retraining Employees that are observed performing unsafe acts or not following proper procedures or rules will be retrained by their supervisor. A Safety Contact Report may be completed by the supervisor to document the training. If multiple employees are involved,additional safety meetings will be held. Safety Incentive Programs Although strict adherence to safety policies and procedures is required of all employees, the company may choose to periodically provide recognition of safety-conscious employees and job sites without accidents through a safety incentive program. Disciplinary Action: The failure of an employee to adhere to safety policies and procedures can have a serious impact on everyone concerned.An unsafe act can threaten not only the health and well being of the employee committing the unsafe act but can also affect the safety of his/her coworkers and customers. Accordingly, any employee who violates any of the company's safety policies will be subject to disciplinary action. Note: Failure to promptly report any on-the-job accident or injury, on the same day as occurrence, is considered a serious violation of the Company's Code of Safe Practices. Any employee who fails to immediately report a work-related accident or injury, no matter how minor shall be subject to disciplinary action. Employees will be disciplined for infractions of safety rules and unsafe work practices that are observed, not just those that result in an injury. Often, when an injury occurs,the accident investigation will reveal that the injury was caused because the employee violated an established safety rule and/or safe work practice(s). In any disciplinary action,the supervisor should be cautious that discipline is given to the employee for safety violations, and not simply because the employee was injured on the job or filed a Workers'Compensation claim. 6
