To assist in this implementation, an executive Safety Committee
will be established, consisting of key personnel from each major department,
and chaired by an appointed Safety Coordinator. The Committee will
meet regularly to assist in the accomplishment of our goal, reporting
its findings and recommendations directly to the Mayor following each
meeting or sponsored activity. The Mayor will then work with department
heads to appropriately address those committee findings.
To accomplish our goal, management will:
A. Implement progressive accident prevention programs, systems, and
techniques;
B. Provide a work environment where identified occupational hazards
are controlled when elimination is not feasible; and
C. Cooperate with government and labor to optimize employee safety and
health.
Department heads and foremen will:
A. Be responsible and accountable for a superior level of employee protection
and performance;
B. Institute work practices which reflect the safest, most efficient
methods available for accomplishing the required tasks; and
C. Educate and train employees regarding on- and off-the-job hazards.
