Sims Metal Management Northwest June 2010 <br />Safety Training Program <br />Purpose <br />Training is one of the most important elements of any safety and health program. Training is <br />designed to enable employees to learn their jobs properly, reinforce safety policies and <br />procedures. Safety Training also provides an opportunity to communicate safety principles and <br />commitment of management to a safe work place. <br />General Safety Rules <br />Purpose <br />Sims Metal Management NW's primary objectives are to ensure the safety and health of our <br />employees, and to protect company property. Our goal is to provide safe and healthful working <br />conditions for all company employees. <br />Safety Rules have been developed with input from supervisors and employees. Sims Metal <br />Management NW has a designated representative, SHEC Manager who is responsible for the <br />Safety Rules. While held to a minimum, the rules address behaviors and work practices that <br />can lead to accidents and injuries. <br />Each employee should become familiar with and follow General and Departmental Safety <br />Rules. Supervisors must enforce safe work practices through strict adherence to Safety Rules. <br />Most accidents can be prevented if everyone uses assigned safety equipment and follows the <br />established safety rules. To operate a safe and successful business, we must work as a team <br />too. <br />THINK SAFE, WORK SAFE, AND BE SAFE! <br />Communication of Safety Rules <br />Communication of safety rules is accomplished by. <br />• Discussion during New Hire Orientation <br />• Published in the New Hire Orientation f Company Handbook <br />• Posting throughout the facility <br />• Annual refresher training <br />• On -the -spat corrections and reinforcement by supervisors <br />Additional Operating Safety Rules <br />Sims Metal Management has additional safety rules for specific operations and departments <br />that apply to those engaged in hazardous work areas or operations.
