CONCLUSION CO.NAMEREMOVED Safety Policy in Summary: No schedule is of such consequence, no customer or job so important, no command/instruction is so urgent, that we cannot take the time to work safely. (Adopted from JPS Safety Policy in a nutshell) Hence CO.NAMEREMOVED management and team members, as well as contractors, clients and other stakeholders and partners are encouraged to keep the following *slogans/expressions in mind and apply them to our daily work: 1. Safety is no accident - we have to be deliberate about maintaining safety 2. Stop! Think! Then Act! – Not all hazards and dangers are obvious nor intuitive, that why we must employ and train competent experts 3. Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer – Defensive drivers avoid rush and speeding. Zero tolerance must be exercised against drivers who speed or fail to comply with proper driving practices 37 | P a g e 4. Your good health is your greatest wealth – Employees and all stakeholders’ health can never be compensated with any form of payment if it is compromised. Hence, we take our safety policy and practices very seriously. 5. Be aware, take care – Based on the potential and prevalence of risk that may exist in our work environment, we must keep focus and pay keen attention to the management of hazards and risks 6. A spill, a slip a Hospital trip – Do not leave any potentially hazardous situation unattended. Treat with all exposures immediately as they are observed 7. Never give safety a day off – Be always mindful and careful on the job 8. Think Safety, it doesn’t hurt – The extra thought to be safe is what helps us to avoid the potential pains and hurtful outcomes 9. Don’t be a fool, use the proper tool – Professionals use ONLY the appropriate tools not substitutes, so at CO.NAMEREMOVED we require employees to use and care for assigned tools, and keep personal tools in excellent condition 10. Accident Prevention, our #1 Intention – Our employees and other stakeholders, safety, health and happiness are extremely important to us: as important (and in some cases more important) as our productivity, profits, our business reputation and continuity as a business. *sourced at: APPSPACE website, https://www.appspace.com/resources/blog/catchy-workplace-safety-slogans 38 | P a g e REFERENCES APPA Safety Manual for an Electric Utility (2007), revised (2017) Safety Culture: ‘Five Levels of Hazard Control’, Sourced at https://safetyculture.com/topics/workplace-hazards/5-hazardcontrol-measures/ OSHA Field & Safety Health Manual (2020), Sourced at https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/directives/ADM_-.pdf Training Requirements in OSHA Standards (2015), Sourced at https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/osha2254.pdf The key elements of the OSHA standards on ladders − 29CFR Safety and Health Regulations for Construction subsection- (Hsiao et al., 2008). ‘Cardiac Arrest & CPR’, Shira A.
