Company Principles
The ultimate responsibility for safety within the company lies with the President. Without his support, direction, assignment of responsibility and holding individuals accountable, the program will not work.
The responsibility for making the safety program work must be delegated by the Company President to various officers, managers, superintendents, and foremen. Making the program work must be a part of their job responsibilities. These people must be held accountable for job site safety. These people must cooperate in the:
- Development and implementation of safe working conditions and an attitude of safety among all employees.
- Appointment of appropriate persons to administer the program.
- Provision for collecting, evaluating and circulating safety information, necessary audio/visual aids and other appropriate materials.
- Circulation and maintenance of accident record systems with periodic review and evaluation.
- Periodic field inspection of safety conditions, which will be reviewed with site personnel.
