We encourage all employees to report any unsafe conditions or safety concerns immediately to their supervisor or Safety Manager, or bring up the issue during department meetings provided the hazard isn’t serious.

Hazard Assessment

We conduct safety inspections monthly and when:

• The safety program is first established
